Chet Faker

I love performing. The more I do it, the more I grow into it. ”

Ultimately, I love making music more than anything. And I want to do that for ever. I don't want be on the top. I just want to keep doing what I'm doing. ”

I love that way dance music can put you in a trance. ”

I just love a slow groove. I feel so comfortable in it. But I listen to a lot of fast music, a lot of techno and house. ”

When I was 21 or 22, I realized I was never going to be something else - I had to be a musician. I can't commit to anything unless I love it. ”

I think the most-played record in our house was the 'Big Chill' Soundtrack - so Smokey Robinson, Aretha Franklin, the Temptations, Otis Redding. I think that's where I got my love for a good hook, a good soul hook - really smooth and warm and from the heart. ”

I would consider my diary serves the same purpose as going for a walk or a run. They are all physical ways of clearing a mental landscape. ”

It was definitely hard when I first started, and by no means do I consider my live show to be where I want it to be; it will develop step by step for the rest of my life. ”

I have had a pretty hardcore crash course on living out of a suitcase. Some people take consistency in their lives for granted. When you have little to none, you discover it's kind of a nice thing. ”

I second guess everything I do musically, and I often could spend hours on, say, one snare sound. ”
