I'm just really happy to be happy for the first time since I was about 20.

It's nice to just do my hobby and be able to live.

My uncle was a music producer and even he'd tell me to get a proper job. I tried to get him to give me five grand to make an album - it didn't happen.

I understand people have to go to work and earn money and bring up kids, but I always thought, "Why can't I just do what I want to do?"

I want to move away from sampling records and just have it be quite minimal. I don't want any more hip-hop beats in there.

I'm a long way off finishing the LP, but I've got an idea in my head of exactly how I want it to look and sound.

Maybe I should disappear and not make anymore music. I mean, I think I'd take it really badly if I got slayed.

I was really into hip-hop as a teenager. I dressed up like Tupac with baggy jeans and a dodgy bandanna around my head. I was pretty confused at that time.

There's just so much stuff that sounds like Flying Lotus now - I really like what he does, but I don't want to be like him. The new stuff is more experimental.

I'm more confident in my music now because people are saying it's good - I'm trying to believe it, but it's very difficult. I don't know if it's going to end in disaster.

I usually find stuff that I hope no one really knows or cares about. If I'm ripping off something that's already brilliant, what's the point?

The greatest thing a man can do in this world, is to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given him. This is success, and there is no other.

Jesus Christ saves the sinner.

Dreaming is very pleasant as long as you are not forced to put your dreams into practice.

Nothing ought to be more weighed than the nature of books recommended by public authority. So recommended, they soon form the character of the age.

Whatever good works ye send on before [death]... ye shall find with God.

The life of the nation is secure only while the nation is honest, truthful, and virtuous.

It was like having a box of chocolates shut in the bedroom drawer. Until the box was empty it occupied the mind too much.

To ward off alienation and gloom, it is only necessary to remember the unremembered heroes of the past, and to look around us for the unnoticed heroes of the present.

My own opinion is that youthfulness of feeling is retained, as is youthfulness of appearance, by constant use of the intellect.

Genius is the act of solving a problem in a way no one has solved it before.
