Me and my friends would drive for eight hours to play for twenty people. That was cool, and if a couple of people bought t-shirts, that would be the greatest thing. We could go eat some hamburgers that night.

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.

People see me on stage and sometimes they think, Who's this hotdog thinking that he's the best. They miss the point that what I'm doing now comes from a whole different world of doing it for no one with nobody caring.

I think collaborating with a DJ could be interesting musically and it's something that I'd like to get into down the road, but I think on the live show tip I'm sticking to my guns for right now.

When someone is buying a sample-based album, they are investing in the concept of that album. If they really like the original source material, they can go buy it.

I've been approached about doing some live performance collaborations with DJ's. That is something I'd be interested in getting into down the line, but I've worked very hard to distinguish myself as a laptop artist.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

I still like weird music but there's such an overabundance that it's hard for me to stay enthusiastic about it.

I think there's always room to grow.

I've been cataloguing samples for years, I have this massive library. Songs come out everyday so it's never ending.

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.

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.

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

Something that distinguishes my solo work from normal rap production is that it has a lot of melody - it's not just cutting up a song and having someone rap over it.
