I don’t have interns. I don’t have a manager. I don’t have assistants. I don’t have a secretary. I can’t figure out Outlook Express. I’m the worst person in the world answering e-mails, and my phone is probably the oldest, most battered phone you can find. So I just talk to people.
At first I’m sort of answering everything the way you’re ‘supposed to’ answer, and I lost a bunch of followers… I was like, ‘What the hell is this all about? What is Twitter supposed to be about? If you’re not answering your fans, then what’s the point?’

I don’t like a girl on social media, when you have an open inbox, answering questions from dudes left and right every day. What’s the point? It’s like having your number all out. Everybody think they’re famous when they get 100,000 followers on Instagram and 5,000 on Twitter.
Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.

In the fourth grade, my history teacher gave us a project: Why was the auto industry located in Detroit, Michigan?

DJing is an art that I have the utmost respect for, and I’ve been practising it since I was 17 years old. Doing Tom Cruise wedding-type things becomes the focal point of every interview, and you realize that you have to cut it out if you don’t want to be answering questions about that.
