“it could be that this is some degree of sexism . m.i.a. had to deal with this with the respected website pitchfork.com where they assumed that diplo had produced all of her kala album without reading any credit list or nothing , it just had to be , it couldn´t have been m.i.a. herself ! it feel like still today after all these years people cannot imagine that woman can write , arrange or produce electronic music . i have had this experience many many times that the work i do on the computer gets credited to whatever male was in 10 meter radius during the job . people seem to accept that women can sing and play whatever instrument they are seen playing .but they cannot program , arrange , produce , edit or write electronic music . ”

—Björk, on sexism in the electronic music genre

“If that's making you happy that's brilliant. You know? People shouldn't be so snobby. To say that "Beethoven is great but 2 Unlimited is crap" I think is rubbish because it's just not that simple. It's like saying "filet mignon is brilliant food but bananas are stupid to eat!" It's not! You need all the different things.”
