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

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.

Love elevates the beauty of life

When anyone thinks a woman who serves "gives 'cause that's what mothers or real women do, " they deny her full humanity and thus fail to see the generosity inherent in her acts.

All seasons are beautifully filled with splendid wonders.

All the arts are predominantly national, and therefore the Australian Film Commission should be funding us. The battle gets more and more vicious each year.

The essentials of poetry are rhythm, dance, and the human voice.

A woman is more than the sum of her parts.

If you went to see me today, you might not like my music.

Running all my different companies has turned out to be a lot easier because I mediate twice a day and go to yoga every day.

If we want to be sincere, we must admit that there is a well-nourished love and an ill-nourished love. And the rest is literature.

Thinking is not enough. Nothing is. There is no final enough of wisdom, experience — any f...ing thing.
