iQ: Steve Aoki

We capture a mental fingerprint of some of our musical and cultural heroes and preserve it in cyber-amber for the wonderment of future generations. This is the Insomniac Questionnaire.

What is the best advice you’ve ever gotten? Did you take it?
Follow your dreams until you realize they are just dreams, then get a real job. No.

What part of your day do you look forward to most?
Sometimes sleep. Sometimes eat. Sometimes rave. Then I repeat, so all of the above.

What’s the best time you’ve ever had without spending money?
The Aokinap. It’s pretty awesome when I’m in a dream zone, ‘cause I can’t get any real sleep anymore.

What is your most treasured possession?
My Dim Mak luggage scooter. Without it, I’d miss every flight and then miss every show, so I need it.

What is your favorite word?
Happiness.

Do you owe anyone an apology?
Of course.

When was the last time you were really scared?
Yesterday.

What is the last thing you googled?
How to swim with sharks with no cage… and be one with the sharks, so they think you are a predator like them and they don’t eat you.

What’s the last sound you would want to hear before you die?
All of my family’s voices.

Do you have any recurring dreams or nightmares? If not, what’s the last dream you remember having?
Hitting turbulence, then diving in a plane to the ground—while I was on a plane hitting turbulence.

How do you measure success?
If you’re happy, you’re successful.

If you could have one super power, what would you want and why?
Green Lantern’s, duh.

Have you ever had a brush with the paranormal or supernatural?
Besides being abducted by aliens and having them put their juju all in me, no.

What do you remember about your first kiss?
I had a boner and had to stick it in under my belt.

What four words best describe you?
Eat, sleep, rave, repeat.

What’s the last impulsive thing you did?
Eat a burrito.

Do you have a pet? Tell us a story about her. Also, what would your ideal pet be, and what would you want it to do in an ideal world?
Bulldog. Her name is Coco. She is stubborn and gets excited when a bike rides by. An ideal pet would be a big bird I can ride on the back of, so I don’t have to create any more carbon footprint.

What is your best personality trait?
I have no body odor.

Do you believe in any conspiracy theories or urban legends?
What, like the Bible?
