When you first start photographing a show or being into photography, you might think it's cool to see people with their phones, like, 'It's so novel; everyone cares about this moment so much,' but then it becomes... trite, y'know, and shallow. I think the best moments of my life have been spent without phones.

In this day and age, I really just don't want to sell people on something. I don't want to have to sell you sound. I don't like selling emotions. Or ideas. I just want to give you these ideas and inspire people.

My roots in electronic music go from weird glitch music to now what's seen as pop music. Electronic music is pop music now.

No matter what happens with EDM, I would like to go to New Orleans and just play with one of those small funk bands in an intimate venue. How cool would it be to work with a band with those huge horn lines and produce all of that great funk that makes you just want to party?

There is so much energy when you work with other people. I'm working with friends and having a blast.

Most of the people that work for me are my friends, and I'd like to keep it that way.

Fear comes from personal self-acceptance and not the self.
