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

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.

The only thing I regret in life is that I didn't practice basketball more.
-
I would categorize Die Antwoord as pop music: extreme, futuristic pop music.

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

I was, like, in a rap gang. I loved rap, and it was all around me.

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.

We don't work with anyone.

We'll support anyone who's doing something fresh.

Roger Ballen is pretty much a member of Die Antwoord, it would be safe to say.

It's good to be intuitive.

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

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.

I just wanna hear my own voice.
-
I made a clean version of 'Enter the Ninja' that my mom can listen to.
-
Ever since I was a teenager, my style around girls has been kinda like 'laid back in da cut.'

It's cool having a little bit of money to do your thing.

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

I wanna be the biggest pop group on the planet.
-
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.

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