I don't just strictly sample. I build. I'm a musician: I play piano and drums, I read notes, I write music.

I'm not stuck strictly doing hip-hop. Songs from the dance/electronic scene are my favorite to make and remix, and I like that world.

I don't want my music to stay New York, I want it to be everywhere.

Nowadays, all the people who are major are just DJs. The lighting and all that makes the show - without all of that stuff, it's just a person behind a laptop. With me, though, it's an actual show.

I want to produce with people that are going to be on the charts and win Grammys because having regular old street songs is cool, but I did all that already.

People are going to be seeing me a lot everywhere: TVs, music, movies, festivals. You name it, I'm gonna be there.

Somehow we have to detach from feeling as though money is a quick and easy standard by which we can gauge how well we're doing.

Progress is possible only if we train ourselves to think about programs without thinking of them as pieces of executable code.

Being a filmmaker is kind of like being a glorified spy.

I would have to say that working on 'Warrior' felt more like working on a play than any other film I've ever done.

There's nothing like the force and challenge of a new ballet to galvanize everyone involved in bringing it to life.

In a sense Toronto feels like home to me.

The truth is that reason is the enemy of life.

Whatever you do, do not feel sorry for yourself - things could always be worse and they are for someone else!

I think that political marriages are subject to more strain than most precisely because of the nature of politics.
