Best quotes by Gold Panda

I'm just really happy to be happy for the first time since I was about 20.

I've been making music ever since, but it was never something I thought I could make any money doing.

My uncle was a music producer and even he'd tell me to get a proper job. I tried to get him to give me five grand to make an album - it didn't happen.

I got fired once for putting like a packet of biscuits through a fan - I was really bored.

I've always had a problem with authority. I just can't wear a suit - it would kill me.

I didn't have any intention of releasing any of the tracks I made.

I have loads of stuff that never came out because I really don't think it's good enough.

I just got really desperate to pay rent. It was weird, man. I had to wrestle a fake pussy off a crack head once.

I usually find stuff that I hope no one really knows or cares about. If I'm ripping off something that's already brilliant, what's the point?

I'm more confident in my music now because people are saying it's good - I'm trying to believe it, but it's very difficult. I don't know if it's going to end in disaster.

There's just so much stuff that sounds like Flying Lotus now - I really like what he does, but I don't want to be like him. The new stuff is more experimental.

I was really into hip-hop as a teenager. I dressed up like Tupac with baggy jeans and a dodgy bandanna around my head. I was pretty confused at that time.

Maybe I should disappear and not make anymore music. I mean, I think I'd take it really badly if I got slayed.

I'm a long way off finishing the LP, but I've got an idea in my head of exactly how I want it to look and sound.

I want to move away from sampling records and just have it be quite minimal. I don't want any more hip-hop beats in there.

It's nice to just do my hobby and be able to live.

I understand people have to go to work and earn money and bring up kids, but I always thought, "Why can't I just do what I want to do?"
