Musician

Hollywood's not knocking on our door. They're banging down the door with a sledgehammer.

It's super trippy coming to America because we know everything about it - from music and film. I know what a Southern accent sounds like; I know what a New York accent sounds like.

I just wanna hear my own voice.

We will always make music, but Die Antwoord is... finite.

Live shows are pretty much like the center of the storm... where the power comes from, the most raw experience. That's the juice. That's where we hit the hardest.

I've only been to jail once, and I didn't get my tattoos there.

We don't really think that much about what we do; it's just fun.

Die Antwoord will be presented to the world as a wild and savage rap crew from the deep, dark depths of Africa.

I would categorize Die Antwoord as pop music: extreme, futuristic pop music.

I used to be called Waddy Jones. But I changed my name to Ninja because it's more me.

All Die Antwoord music, on a weird level, is like relationship music.

We'll support anyone who's doing something fresh.

People react to 'District 9' and Die Antwoord on the same level.

'Die Antwoord' just has a nice ring to it.

It's good to be intuitive.

I do this thing with my daughter - I put my hand on her face and shake her head, but really affectionately. But I didn't think, and I did that to Flea.

We didn't move to L.A. to move to L.A. We moved to make music with Muggs.

You can't be new for too long. You want to just respectfully disappear. It's a bit sad sometimes. Michael Jordan retired like a god, and then he came back... We don't want to go out like that.

The '$O$' phase, it was like, 'Save Our Souls': we didn't know how we were going to get out of our situation... It was our last chance just to go all out. 'Ten$ion' was another phase, to maintain the tension we had, just to pretend nothing had happened and stay in that same furious, hungry zone.

The only thing I regret in life is that I didn't practice basketball more.
