I think we're approaching an era where there's a consistent dialogue going on between artists and consumers. And I think that's going to be part of the solution to actually selling music.

More quotes by Girl Talk
The whole point of doing the pay what you want is to be reasonable with the fans.
Girl Talk
In the two years of preparing material for shows, I realized there are elements that are definitely going to work live, but might not be the most exciting thing to put on a record. And there's stuff that I really love but it falls flat live.
Girl Talk
It's weird for me when someone asks me to do a remix as Girl Talk and not use samples.
Girl Talk
You can feel a little vulnerable when you see people tearing you apart on the internet or saying, It's the end of music. This guy is a total hack. I've read it all. But at the same time, even though I feel a little vulnerable with that, I do feel comfortable.
Girl Talk
I can't edit live as meticulously as I can for an album.
Girl Talk
I wasn't trying to make a following. I was just trying to make interesting music. That's not being modest, that's just being realistic.
Girl Talk
I make a living off of playing shows the albums only make me a fraction of what I make off of shows, especially since I'm doing around 100 shows a year.
Girl Talk
I use minimal software to make my music - a wav editor and a calculator for my beats to make sure everything falls on mathematical precision. If you were just mapping this out visually, it works by math. I guess it's slightly engineering influenced.
Girl Talk
That's kind of a nostalgia thing. Nirvana was my first favorite band, in third or fourth grade. Then I got out of them. But one day in college a few buddies and myself all started listening to them again and it blew me away. They still stand out as my favorite band ever.
Girl Talk
I think it's an interesting thing to have to produce an album that you'll want to listen to for 50 minutes.
Girl Talk
It's easy to hate on things that are close to your world that aren't exactly what you're doing.
Girl Talk
I always like to borrow bits and pieces of things. There's a line between jumping on something that's happening and incorporating bits and pieces of it into my work.
Girl Talk
I am always excited for gaps of time where I can actually hang out with my friends.
Girl Talk
The point has always been to make music, it's not like I've always been running a giant money making scheme.
Girl Talk
Sometimes the show needs that kick in the ass so being able to sing a Nirvana song kind of takes it there. I've grown up putting on extravagant shows with Girl Talk so when I'm playing I like to go nuts. After 30 minutes of pointing and clicking it's nice to scream into a microphone for three minutes.
Girl Talk
I'm trying to separate myself from other people by having songs that would be considered - technically - original things. I don't seek out mashups. I'm associated with the whole mashup movement, and it's too bad because I'm not a huge fan of them.
Girl Talk
I'll put out an album, and people review it, and some people love it, and some people tear it apart. By nature of the project, I've always wanted this to be something where people react strongly to it.
Girl Talk
In 1990 if you heard a song on the radio and you really wanted to hear it again you'd have to buy it on tape or CD. Hearing music doesn't hold that kind of value anymore because anyone can hear it. It's going to become even easier.
Girl Talk
I've grown up playing pop music for the experimental crowd and I always feel like I'm pushing something weird on people. I had this underdog feeling. It's crazy that all of a sudden I'm the overhyped band you read about on the blogs.
Girl Talk
I've been cataloguing samples for years, I have this massive library. Songs come out everyday so it's never ending.
