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 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.

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

I'd love to get pajamas. Good, nice and warm flannel ones.

I always say, better ask forgiveness than permission.

I was raised all over. Kansas, Hawaii, Georgia, Texas and Kentucky, by the time I was 11.

We don't give 'em no respect..none!

A demanding performance challenge tends to create a team.

Game calls cant be just, Oh, by the way, as part of a larger discussion.

Life is merely a fraction of a second. An infinitely small amount of time to fulfill our desires, our dreams, our passions.

Many Americans knew their lives and their souls were being struggled for, and they fought for it. And I felt I should carry on.

No one is able to enjoy such feast than the one who throws a party in his own mind.

Turn your eyes away from fear. Discontinue the conversations of fear if you choose to embrace the fullness of your heart
