Nothing can stop us now 'cause we are all made of stars.

The good thing about working alone is I get a lot done and I can experiment more. The bad thing is I miss out on the gregarious, social way that most musicians work.

I'm envious of people who can sleep as long as they want. I have the circadian rhythm of a farmer.

Communication is the universal solvent.

I remixed a remix, it was back to normal.

It's the repetitive thing that brings space. That's one of the things I love secretly about hip-hop. Jazz doesn't have that element. It changes every bar, nothing is ever the same.

Slow, steady progress is better than fast, daily excuses.
