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

“Conceptual art, I don't even know what that is.”

“I made a clean version of 'Enter the Ninja' that my mom can listen to.”

“Whenever we do stuff with Die Antwoord, it's kind of like... I made a lot of music before this group that I'm kind of bored of and forgot about, and everything with Die Antwoord I really love. It's the first time I've made music where, even the first songs we made, I really adore all those songs, and I'm proud of them.”

“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.”

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

“Ever since I was a teenager, my style around girls has been kinda like 'laid back in da cut.'”

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

“There's layers to our stuff: Our top layer is like candy-coated pop, because we want to party and have a nice time, but we also have a lot of different human experiences and other levels present in the Die Antwoord experience.”

“The only real things in life is the unexpected things. Everything else is just an illusion.”

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

“It's super dope when you connect with something personally.”

“It's good to be intuitive.”

“My favourite book in the world is 'Neuromancer' by William Gibson.”

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

“You'll get a kid in Liberia wearing a Tupac T-shirt, and for us, that's zef. People try to say it's like trash, but it's not really trash. It's putting things together you think are cool.”

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

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