REDFOO

I kind of just took everything that people thought was weird about me and used it as a strength.

There are bands that make parodies of being in a band, like Spinal Tap. That's a big influence. They're making fun of a rock band, but they write lyrics that are better than real rock bands.

Nothing is more exciting than getting a match. I don't care who you are! It's fun. And there is nothing better for curing boredom than Tinder.

A guy wrote a blog, way back when the Internet first started; the comments were so negative that it actually stopped me doing music for some time - about two, three years. It was after this one hip-hop project - Redfoo and Dr'Kroon. I wasn't used to it. I didn't like it. It lowered my self-esteem.

'The X Factor' is like music camp. It's invaluable what in a short amount of time 'The X Factor' can do to an artist and a person's career. It can make them a superstar overnight.

I'm not white, I'm not black.

When I first saw the Juicy Wiggle dance in Australia, I fell in love! I had to write about it.

A TV show is sometimes like a club. Sometimes you need to refresh.

Most people ask me were you always sexy and if I said I was born this way I'd be lying.

Honduras fans are true party rockers!

I didn't grow up with my dad, or around the whole legacy. I was post-Motown, so I'd always hear stories and wonder what was it like.

We like to party but to be the best partiers in the world you've gotta be serious, you've gotta plan that stuff out. You've gotta wake up the next day and catch that plane to the next show and perform a great show.

Every time I perform I always kind of outdo myself.

I'm sexy literally and I know it. I'm sexy because I know it.

I feel like I've mastered what nervousness is, and simply, nervousness is, fearing the future. Or, I like to put it as, thinking about things that you don't want in the future. Normally, artists may think, 'What if my show doesn't go well?' Boom. That's going to cause nervousness.

Direction is more important than speed. You can go fast in the wrong direction.

When I was a kid, I saw Mardi Gras in New Orleans. So to me Party Rock was always wear your animal print, bring your no-lenses glasses, dress up in a bunch of colors and have fun. Animal print is a must.

Whenever I'm obsessed about anything, that becomes the subject of a song.

It is a big deal just to keep on your path. That is the biggest thing. Luckily, we are dreamers and we believe that whatever we are thinking, we are going to bring about in our life, kind of like 'The Secret.'

The X Factor' was amazing because I like being a positive role model to young artists; that's what I believe in. If I can shed some light and give them some tips on how to believe in themselves and be more confident with their craft.

Australia's got some of the best girls in the world. They are very fit, very athletic and always by the beach.

If you're thinking about making a hit song, and you think I want everybody in the world to love it, then you kind of make it up, and you do it.

I'm not about the past. I'm about the future and focusing on what you want in life.

I love comedy.

It's really deep to me. Although it seems to many people that I'm making silly music, I'm really serious.
