I don't want to say I hate remixes, because I don't, but I hate what instantly comes to mind now when people say 'remixes.'

I think remixes give songs more life.

I like the way remixes sound. Some of them are really creative.

Sometimes, a remix is good because it reaches a whole new generation. But when it gets too much, it's irritating. Also, the original composer needs to be credited properly.

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.

It's even exhausting for me to think about remixes because there were so many Miike Snow remixes.

If you remix, people want to tap into your sound. If you keep that to yourself, it makes the sound more special.

Most artists I run into aren't that thrilled with what they do anyway. They are glad to have different versions out there to see which one the audience likes the best.

Remixes come very quickly, because you already have the melody and the vocals. I have a great passion for music, so it doesn't matter to me if it's a remix or an original production. I don't think about it as, 'Well, I have to spend three hours on a remix or I have to do something all original.'

I get a lot of demos sent my way, and I listen to them, and sometimes they just have something very special.
