It's always important to me to play something other DJs aren't playing.

That's what a DJ is at the end of the day - someone who leads where the music goes. The only thing that's changed is that in America, people have woken up in the last few years and realized it.

I love disco and we sample it a lot for Duck Sauce. For me, that sound is kind of a new manifestation.

I was a bit of an outsider in the hip-hop world because I was a scratch kid and people weren't necessarily trying to hear that all the time.

There's a ton of amazing music that's not getting heard.

A few guys will get up there with turntables as purists, to play vinyl or whatever.

There's a lot of producers that are much more technical or gear-skilled than I am. But I have a pure idea of what I like and where I want to go and I follow that.

When I get up I still check the rap blogs before I check any kind of dance stuff.

I'm still a hip-hop producer. I never put a label on what I can do as a producer or a DJ.

We have to wake up early and make songs everyday. I run my record label. You work at hours where your body isn't designed to work. But it's fun.

It's a good feeling to have something to stand for in any part of your life. It's like personal integrity.

The system wears a mask of civility, yet will quickly reveal its true nature in the form of magnificently-purposed violence when needed.

The final greatness of the presidency lies in the truth that it is not just an office of incredible power but a breeding ground of indestructible myth.

All men and women have an equal need for love. When these needs are not fulfilled it is easy to have our feelings hurt, for which we blame our partner.

I feel fortunate about being able to make the music I want to make and getting away with it

Mystery is not always about travelling to new places, it is about looking with new eyes.

Beauty, grace, and charm my foot. It's a school for sadists with good tea-serving skills.

Once you depart from the Ten Commandments as being the foundation of right and wrong, you are in a free fall.

In other words, with games, learning is the drug.

Those who practice Love have neither Religion or Status.

It's a very different thing, religion and faith. Religion is man-made, it's man-regulated. And faith, you can define God as you wish. But I think they're two different things.
