"We don’t believe in the star system. We want the focus to be on the music. If we have to create an image, it must be an artificial image. That combination hides our physicality and also shows our view of the star system. It is not a compromise. We’re trying to separate the private side and the public side. It’s just that we’re a little bit embarrassed by the whole thing … We don’t want to get recognized in the streets. Yes. Everyone has accepted us using masks in photos so far, which makes us happy. Maybe sometimes people are a little bit disappointed but that’s the only way we want to do it. We think the music is the most personal thing we can give. The rest is just about people taking themselves seriously, which is all very boring sometimes."

Daft Punk, on whether or not fame can be avoided.

I love this. Absolutely love this. Not just because of DP, but because when (if? I like when better .. ) I become an author, for some reason I never want my identity to be revealed. I want people to not know if I’m a man or a woman. What my age is. What I look like. I want my work to speak for itself, no bells, whistles, shit storms around it.

Mystery is beautiful.
