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.

In 2008 it's easy to get huge before you have an album out with the Internet. I think that's great and you see a lot of artists like that. It seems like it's becoming rarer to find a band that has been touring for six years, doing small shows and then breaking out.

I love getting out there and traveling and doing shows and all of that. But when I can be home, it's a special time.

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.

The point of making records for me isn't to hear 300 songs in 50 minutes it's to hear the 50-minute piece of music.

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.

When I'm performing, this is what everything builds up to, and everything has allowed me to be here.

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.

The goal of the work is always for it to come across as original material, as transformative material.

I always like the people who keep moving forward, but kind of stay in their own lane.
Girl Talk

I didn't change much in terms of my setup or how I was making my music. It's evolved to this point where I think people look at it as one big traveling party.

I like to use recognizable songs, but other than that, this song would be perfect.

As the times are changing, you don't hear as many sample issues with rap artists. Part of that has to do with production styles these days, but the nature of copyright is also changing as the internet becomes more of a giant.

I can't edit live as meticulously as I can for an album.

It's weird for me when someone asks me to do a remix as Girl Talk and not use samples.

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.

A lot of people aren't aware of the years and years of humiliation and horrible shows I've played.
