I can't just sit down and make a song in a day. It's only possible if you focus on the music and not the sound.

I definitely don't sit down every day and make a new song.

What I don't like to hear in music is something has not been thought through: that a sound is just there randomly. I want to make sure that every single little noise that's in my song is there because it's supposed to be there.

A DJ can't just play one song. It's about playing a set, or how you connect songs in those two hours, and where you place them.

I never feel like I need to make a song that sells 5 million copies; that's not the point of why I make music. It's great if that happens, like it did with 'Clarity,' but my goal is to always make a better track than the last one.

When you catch other people with a sound like yours, that's when you know you did something.
