I was a jaded high schooler, I was still into pop music, though not as sincerely as I am now. It was more tongue-in-cheek back then.

More quotes by Girl Talk
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.
Girl Talk
I've always enjoyed taking pre-existing sound, songs I like, songs I want to share, and manipulating them and trying to do my own version. So just knowing there's that potential for that thing out there that I haven't discovered yet, really gets me motivated every day.
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
Samples are kind of my instrument of choice.
Girl Talk
A lot of people aren't aware of the years and years of humiliation and horrible shows I've played.
Girl Talk
I'd been to a lot of shows and I was just tired of people being jaded about music in general. Just a lot of pretensions, a lot of the attitude that goes along with it was a little difficult for me to deal with.
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 like to use recognizable songs, but other than that, this song would be perfect.
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
KRS-One is one of my favorite rappers ever. I actually don't even know why I have this on my computer, but I do. I really like this album, Criminal Minded.
Girl Talk
I think there's always room to grow.
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
The whole basis of the music is that people have these emotional attachments to these songs - whether they love it or hate it. Being able to manipulate that is a really easy way to connect with people.
Girl Talk
When there's something negative in my life, be it in the art or the music world or in my personal life, I really just want to face it as immediately as possible. I don't run from it. I just want to immerse myself in it, get through it as quickly as possible, understand it, and look into what is positive about it.
Girl Talk
My start came with experimental musicians and live bands. I never played with DJ's because it wasn't really the correct fit. It fit in more with someone using a laptop to create their own electronic music. When you're doing music like that, it's hard to get more than 20 people to come to your show.
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
When I would play pop music at underground shows, it was offensive to some people. I wasn't doing it to piss people off: I just didn't believe in those strong divisions that you're supposed to listen to this or that.
Girl Talk
I hear something I like, and sometimes, I think it's gonna work, and I will cut it up, try it out, try to work with other material. Sometimes, it falls flat, and other times, it works out, so in that way, I'm constantly listening to music because I enjoy it.
Girl Talk
The music is in no way politically based - I'm not trying to make a point about sampling. It may bring up issues but I'm not trying to push it on anyone.
Girl Talk
Sharing information, art, music, and everything on the internet now has become a part of everyone's lives.
