When I recorded Contra la Puerta, I never really thought out doing the material live. Mostly because I haven't really seen any electronic music performed live in an interesting way.

But Contra la Puerta was done mostly in the opposite way, starting with sounds and melodies.

I actually went to film school and was making experimental films for a short time, so it wasn't such a leap.

My parents are my backbone. Still are. They're the only group that will support you if you score zero or you score 40.

My feeling for reality TV isn't ironic, guilty, or apologetic. Reality TV is one of the few remaining modes of popular entertainment in which characterization is permitted as plot.

But with each passing year and each new study, the evidence for the genetic contribution to individual and group differences becomes more firmly established than ever.
