I book myself tight. If I have any time off, I get antsy. (Skrillex)

With 'Bangarang,' I didn't make any announcement, no campaign. I just put it on my Facebook and some other places. That's how I've done everything with my previous records. I've always kept it organic.

To me, it's always a joy to create music no matter what it takes to actually get there. The real evils are always whatever stops you from doing that - like if your CPU is spiking and you have to sit there and bounce all your MIDI to audio. Now that's annoying!

Skrillex

I don't care about having money. It's about being happy, man.

Skrillex

I never set out to be part of a genre, because I listen to all types of music.

The people who I grew up making music with, we've all grown up and become successful in different ways. My manager supported me since I was 16 and believed in me as a musician. He's been there since Day 1, and there's so much to be said about doing something with people that you love.

The greatest gift of all time is that you can make creation infectious because people spend less time being negative... If you log all the time with negativity in the while world, I wonder how much better the world would be if people sat down and did something positive. It spirals.

There's been not a dime spent on marketing for any record I've ever put out.

I do most of my vocals - aside from a couple of little one-shot vocal samples. I record everything into the Saffire with an SM58 then scratch it with loads of plug-ins. I don't do much vocoding to be honest. All my vocals are usually done with Melodyne and a ton of other plug-ins to make it sound weird.

Skrillex

Hip-hop and electronic music are so similar, in the fact that they're both very visceral, have so much bass; a lot of times, it's the same tempos. The culture and some of the sound design is different but a lot of times, it's the same stuff.

Skrillex

No one worries about genre when they're dancing. They're not asking themselves, 'Is this song a dubstep song?' (Skrillex)

I'm always on tour, so I'm always trying new tracks out live before they're released. That's more necessity than anything, because I don't get a proper chance to sit in a studio and work on tracks like other producers do.

Skrillex

I don't really think about recognition; I'm not really involved.

Skrillex

I prefer the gloominess to the sun. I don't know why.

Skrillex

I don't like being overexposed. I don't like being on covers. And I don't like people talking about me.

Skrillex

I don't like hype cluttering art.

Skrillex

Singing's not my real passion.
