A DJ can't just play one song. It's about playing a set, or how you connect songs in those two hours, and where you place them.

I don't want to put 12 singles on an album. I want to make a story, a little movie.

I've been making music for a long time, since I was very young, but at the same time, I'm still exploring what works for me. I feel like I'm just starting out.

What I don't like to hear in music is something has not been thought through: that a sound is just there randomly. I want to make sure that every single little noise that's in my song is there because it's supposed to be there.

Whenever I'm in the U.K., people say I have an American accent. Which is, obviously, funny.

What I look for in a voice is for it to be unique. I don't really care if a singer sings well. Really, it's about emotion, or being able to sing the lyrics and actually mean it. A lot of singers sing good notes but forget about what words they use.

The time for desperation is upon us. Let's play.
