The biggest shock of your life is when you first make a record and go to a show and then people start singing the words. Because it occurs to you that they've listened to it!

I accidentally produced a Willow Smith track!

I like to be in the laboratory with the doors closed. I like experimenting and trying things.

I would rather do things that I really love with people that I love working with, and to be able to extend that and go and play, it's great. I feel very fortunate.

Musicians are like politicians. They're the last people who should be making music, just like politicians are the last people who should be running things.

Making music is a wonderful way to spend your life, but do it for the love before a career. Enjoy it.

If you love music and you are good in it, you will be fine. But be prepared to have to work hard.

Don't judge your success by other peoples opinions. Have self belief.

Electronic music is really weird right, because it is bleeding into the mainstream, but, at the same time, it's fashion.

I smell blood and an era of prominent madmen.

Life is as a result of time evolution

History isn't about dates and places and wars. It's about the people who fill the spaces between them.

Destiny is the invention of the cowardly, and the resigned.

No time to marry, no time to settle down; I'm a young woman, and I ain't done runnin' around.

Demon or angel or evil spirit, I just need something to show itself. Ghoulie or ghosty or long-legged beastie, I just want my hand held.

You look at 1968 and it was truly the year that shook the world. The world was really completely upside down.

What do men want? They want a lot of pals, and they wish that people wouldn't get so mad at them.

Take away the violence and who will hear the man of peace?

I never saw the point in listening to only one thing. The low art/high art distinction comes from the establishment telling me how I'm supposed to think.
