When you play in a band, you're in phase with people. When you're a DJ, you're totally off-phase. Your work time is 3 A.M. - 5 A.M. and I don't think you can connect. You're miserable the whole time. Whenever I see a DJ in the airport, they are always on the verge of crying.

My friends seem to think that an hour and a half effort a day is all they need to bring to the altar to make things work for them. I couldn't do that.
