“Songs can click together really quickly, and other times, they're real...” — James Murphy Quote

Songs can click together really quickly, and other times, they're really laborious and heavy-lifting.

What we are as a live band is different to what we are on recordings, but they're both equal versions: they're both LCD Soundsystem, but in very different ways.

Even in the band I was in when I was a kid, I'd be telling everyone what to do. I'd be leaning over the drums, telling them to tune their guitars, micromanaging.

My gut instincts are strong, but they're not always accessible to me, which is why I like DJing, because you don't have time, and you have to go on instinct.

I'm an underdog by nature, and I like to be fighting. I don't make music for myself. I make music to fight.

I don't know what happens at radio as far as what is that X factor that makes a song click and have people get connected to it when it's in another language.

The exciting new thing, call it Internet.2, would be where links were updated and moved depending on where people click. That would give you the kind of content screening that you don't get at the moment.

I wait for the next opportunity to have something to do with food. If I get rested, my mind just starts creating new dishes - click, click, click.

You never know whether the subject matter will click with the audience at that particular time. I wish there was a formula, you know, 'That plus that equals success.'
