I believe in the ethos of the remix, like Andy Warhol making a painting of a Campbell's soup label.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Andy Warhol defined Pop Art.
I think the inspiration came from the fans. Whenever I'm online or whenever I get a chance to really communicate with the fans and the audience, they always say that they would love to have all of the remixes on one CD.
In the eighteenth century, it was ladies and gentlemen and swings in a garden; today, it may be Campbell's soup cans or highway signs. There is no real difference. The artist still takes his everyday world and tries to make something out of it.
I think remixes give songs more life.
I always knew would be some sort of artist, but didn't know what.
But what was interesting about what the Who did is that we took things which were happening in the pop genre and represent them to people so that they see them in a new way. I think the best example is Andy Warhol's work, the image of Marilyn Monroe or the Campbell's soup can.
I like the way remixes sound. Some of them are really creative.
That is what intrigues me; songwriting and song structure and expression.
Hip-hop educated me about other forms of music, because it sampled from all different styles.
If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There's nothing behind it.
