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

They amaze me most of those remixes. Some of them are crap. But every time I complain, someone comes up and says they are for a different market that you don't understand. Some of the New Order ones are really great, though.

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.

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.

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.

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.'

A lot of songs are derivative of each other.

I doubt I'll ever pay someone to do a remix again, because there's some amazing stuff just coming out of bedrooms.
