I got fired once for putting like a packet of biscuits through a fan - I was really bored.

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?

If Mere Christianity helps make Christianity comprehensible, Orthodoxy makes it weird again.

...You want a special truth. *You* want the truth to be a truth that *you* like. You want it to be a pretty little truth that fits what you already believe!

Talking is always positive. That's why I talk too much.

I don't love reading so much, but I love book shopping. It's just because I don't have much time.

Do not be a sniveler. Do not say you can't be happy, you can't be enlightened. How do you know? It is all chaos.

What induces a child to learn but his delight in knowing?

Filing is concerned with the past; anything you actually need to see again has to do with the future.

Consumers no longer want only a great product - they want to buy products from companies that align with their own character and values.

It's all about a balancing act between time, temperature and ingredients: That's the art of baking.

I have lost a brother and a best friend. The world has lost one of the greatest actors of all time.
