Zitat des Tages von Watkin Tudor Jones:

I wanna be the biggest pop group on the planet.

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

Afrikaans culture is very right-wing and conservative, very proper, and you get this hidden underbelly, the zef side of Afrikaans which no one knows about.

Watkin Tudor Jones

All the rappers in rave music are like the sloppy seconds of rappers who couldn't make it.

Watkin Tudor Jones

We don't care if you understand us.

Watkin Tudor Jones

I think because people can't understand our style, they think it's a joke. Our music isn't intellectual - we make music for the common man.

In South Africa, we speak English and sometimes Afrikaans, sometimes Zulu, sometimes Xhosa.

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.

Watkin Tudor Jones

America's got amazing presentation, especially New York - the most potent, strongest, concentrated, amazing presentation.

With a film, you can get into it and love it. With music, you can listen to over and over again, but with music videos, they're like this short little stab.

Watkin Tudor Jones

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

Watkin Tudor Jones

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.

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.

Watkin Tudor Jones

A rap dude has his rap persona, his hyper version of himself. Do you know Method Man's real name? Or Elton John, Marylin Monroe? You make up this character. That's kind of what we have done with Die Antwoord, playing with characters.

Watkin Tudor Jones

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

Watkin Tudor Jones

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.

Watkin Tudor Jones

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.

Watkin Tudor Jones

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

Watkin Tudor Jones

When I was a boy, I wanted to be a Ninja. Now I am a man, now I am a Ninja.

Watkin Tudor Jones

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

Watkin Tudor Jones

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.

Watkin Tudor Jones

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

Watkin Tudor Jones

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

Watkin Tudor Jones

I wanna be the biggest pop group on the planet.
