"I avoided working with other people for many years, partly out of paranoia, and partly out of an earnest desire to stand on my own. After a while, I got tired of thinking that way, and it just seemed natural to do the opposite of what I had done before. I like making music with other people. I can still make music by myself too."<ref>[http://www.andrewwk.com/production.php Production]. Andrew W.K.. Retrieved June 29, 2012.</ref>
