The primary goal isn't a financial gain; it's to put out interesting music.

Sometimes the only way to fix a mistake- is to make it twice.

With rap music, there are billions and billions of samples that are uncleared that people have never been bothered about on an underground level.

KRS-One is one of my favorite rappers ever. I actually don't even know why I have this on my computer, but I do. I really like this album, Criminal Minded.

The traditional DJ world isn't a world that I come from.

I want to make new and interesting music out of pop music in a way that isn't ironic. I want to stay sincere to the source material but at the same time manipulate it and take it to a new world.

The point has always been to make music, it's not like I've always been running a giant money making scheme.

The music is in no way politically based - I'm not trying to make a point about sampling. It may bring up issues but I'm not trying to push it on anyone.

I still like weird music but there's such an overabundance that it's hard for me to stay enthusiastic about it.

I'm just making fun music so you can let your guard down and enjoy it, don't worry about what's cool and what's not.

I think some people form the traditional DJ worlds misunderstand where I'm coming form.

Attention is the beginning of devotion.

I didn't give up in the nine months it took to get here, so I'm sure as hell not going to give up now!

I wake in the night. Or sometimes I don't wake in the night. It hardly seems to make a difference.

I really learn from something that really inspires me and it becomes something that I remember.

Do what I want, be honest to myself and then it would do good for others, that's all, full on.

Gratitude leads to happiness. Conversely, lack of gratitude is the curse of the unhappy.

This means more to me than any Grammy I could ever win ... It will take a village and an army, [some] countries and continents to make bullying a hate crime.

If my friends are going to the mountains with guns to fight, I will continue that fight, not with guns but with a camera.

I'm awkward at these things. Just being nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Karate Kid was a real surprise and I was a little uncomfortable.

The only difference between an extraordinary life and an ordinary one is the extraordinary pleasures you find in ordinary things.
