I was an English major.

The Juan McLean is great.

I'm a fairly neurotic person.

I was actually cyberstalked twice.

There is a lot of sadness in America.

I find reggae is really nice in the morning.

Even bros have depth, complexity, and emotion.

I've been a fan of electronic music for a while.

Getting everyone on the same team is a form of hustling.

'Trainspotting' is among my favourite films of all time.

'In the Grace of Your Love' is a beautiful, eerie dance song.

The truth is complicated, and few people are actually monsters.

No one believes that they're a bad person at the end of the day.

I worry about revealing too much of my life on my Instagram posts.

The less you know about the person, the more you fill in the rosiest details.

As someone who's been a filmmaker and an editor, I was wary of being on camera.

There's something unique about coming of age in 2015 with the way the world is.

I'm from New York City. I grew up in the city. Suburban life was very odd to me.

I have long been a fan of Holy Ghost! and think they've got the best dance grooves around.

When I was 19, I did an internship in Los Angeles and lived with a friend of mine in the Valley.

When you want to fall in love, you ignore red flags in the optimistic hope that it does work out.

I've never had a crazy online relationship that's left me vulnerable and embarrassed and humiliated.

I am a huge Sublime fan, and I think their music immediately puts you in SoCal when you listen to it.

I don't know why so many people seem upset about the fact that Nev Schulman and I are so against Trump.

Electronic music has existed since the '70s, and it's almost comical how many subgenres of it there are.

Oddly, I think that a lot of the haters of EDM and DJs are actually within the world of electronic music.

I feel like there are probably more films about white male friendships than almost any other types of movies.

The things I'm making for Vero are very pure. They're from my point of view, and I'm not pulling any punches.

The biggest affront to any audience is if you feel like someone took something you love and is selling it out.

I grew up in New York City. We used to diss Long Island and Jersey. Every big city has its own suburb like that.

Book stores drive me insane because I know that I will never be able to read everything I want to in my lifetime.

I'm a documentary filmmaker, I know what it means to craft a story, especially when you've shot a lot of material.

No one has it easy, and to some degree, everyone feels lonely and powerless, which may cause them to make hurtful decisions.

Everyone's on their phones, and everyone makes things with the aid of some electronic tool. Electronic music is no different.

Most people who recognize me don't even know my name. They just yell out ''Catfish!'' or 'Where's Nev?' or sometimes just 'Nev!'

When you make a movie with a lot of music in it, you can't always put all the songs onto the soundtrack. They just don't all fit.

I think with social media and Instagram, people are able to see what's over the fence of everyone else, and it all seems within reach.

As fame becomes more democratized, we might all have to start struggling with the powers, anxieties, and responsibilities of being a minor celeb.

As the leader of the most powerful nation in the world, our president is more than a list of policies. They set the tone of our national character.

A lot of times in films, the protagonist is either the leader of the group or the nerd of the group. I've never identified with either of those things.

I put a lot of time and energy into studying the art of filmmaking, but I hadn't put a lot of energy or time into the art of learning how to manage people.

I love bridge-and-tunnel characters. In some respects, they have a chip on their shoulders, but they're proud of where they're from. They're fun and colorful.

I love the tradition of male coming-of-age films like 'Saturday Night Fever' or 'Mean Streets' or 'Go.' I love those films that work music into those stories.

I think making electronic music isn't much different from writing a book or painting a picture or making a film. It's a creative process, and it's an art form.

We all have excuses. We could all take all of the things that have happened to us over the course of our lives and use them as excuses for being cruel to others.

In documentaries, the process is that you film a lot of things, and out of what you've shot, something organically reveals itself, and there's a discovery process.

I mostly get noticed in shopping malls, airports, red states. The Cheesecake Factory. I am more likely to get stopped in San Antonio or Oakland than in New York or L.A.

Trump's hate-filled rhetoric, blatant chauvinism, mean bullying, and open admiration of authoritarian rulers are more than just hints of what's to come if he is elected.

It's not that what LCD Soundsystem and Juan MacLean do is necessarily simple, but they are basic loops and beats and songs that are just pleasurable in a really basic way.

I don't know why we have this shame about obesity, but it's kind of a good thing that we have this shame about obesity - we shouldn't accept the fact that everyone is obese.
