Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo

“There's a feeling of despair for some, but that's not what we wanted. Because the whole movie is without dialogue, it's more a question than an answer. We wanted to make a question mark so people could project what they wanted onto 'Electroma' - some people see it as sad, some as happy. Everyone is different.”

“The star system, the idol, the cult of personality is not the only way to be in entertainment.”

“If you respect the audience and on stage you put on a disguise, that is part of the show.”

“We've been able to create those personalities that are not anonymous that can somehow support exposure but in a fictional way.”

“We've never been, really, singers or performers. We are a little bit but we are not like Mick Jagger or Keith Richards or anyone like that.”

“We're like regular blokes.”

“From the beginning, with our first album, we wanted to make the music that maybe was lacking around us - the music that we wanted to hear.”

“There's this idea that robots are not human, so they are cold,' he said. 'But it's not really the case. They can be anything you want them to be.”

“We don't really worry about... what the audience might think. When we make a piece of music we don't worry whether they will like it or not; we are really trying to create the music that we want to listen to as individuals. We think it's the healthiest way.”

“You can have energy in music and dance to it but still have soul.”

“We are huge Bach fans, and huge Glenn Gould fans.”

“Since we began Daft Punk we go from surprise to surprise.”

“Any time an English band came to Paris we went to the concert. All the French crowds were really bad and really blase. We were the only ones wanting to have fun.”

“EDM is energy only. It lacks depth.”

“We're not idols onstage. We're not the Rolling Stones.”

“We work a lot.”

“The magic - we can try to capture the magic - the music that comes out of the speakers. That sparkle of magic that we can get sometimes is just what we are looking for and if it works while we're in the studio the two of us, then we think that maybe we can share it with an audience. And it's been the case from the beginning.”

“When we come on stage as robots, it's really powerful.”

“Obviously, we love 'Tron.'”

“It's true that when I was younger and I first got interested in music, I used to read books about the Stones and the Beatles and how they listened to Muddy Waters and people like that when they were starting out, who are much less well known now than the Rolling Stones. The Stones really changed blues.”
