Lots of people just stare at me know in clubs. They just come up and stare, they don’t even smile. And you get the impression that you’re only playing towards five people because you can’t see anyone behind them. Sometimes I can’t be bothered and I end up just playing total noise just to fuck them off. Before I was more famous I really loved djing in the middle of the dancefloor. People just danced and didn’t really take any notice of you. But if you’re more a celebrity kind of thing everyone just stares at you and it doesn’t work.

It’s OK for the mass media to make some money out of my writings as long as they have really good purposes. I have some serious problems when they use my writings only for earning their cost of living so what they write turn out not to be true, honest, sincere. But I’m afraid my opinion here is a bit power-oriented, which is not very preferable. I know I should rather care about the socially vulnerable like me, though. …I just cannot afford to do that right now.
