"One of the big things that broke the band up for me, which I've become much clearer on over the year..." — James Murphy

I'm a DJ, and I live in Williamsburg, and I run an independent record company.

There's kind of a limitless amount of things I want to do, and when the path seems to open, that's when I try to do a thing.

I don't prepare very well. I'm always sort of wrapped up in what I'm supposed to be doing in the moment, and then I suddenly appear someplace, and I'm really not prepared.

I'm always surprised by how optimistic and open sometimes people who are very successful are.
