The goal of the work is always for it to come across as original material, as transformative material.

Sometimes the only way to fix a mistake- is to make it twice.

With rap music, there are billions and billions of samples that are uncleared that people have never been bothered about on an underground level.

KRS-One is one of my favorite rappers ever. I actually don't even know why I have this on my computer, but I do. I really like this album, Criminal Minded.

The traditional DJ world isn't a world that I come from.

I want to make new and interesting music out of pop music in a way that isn't ironic. I want to stay sincere to the source material but at the same time manipulate it and take it to a new world.

The point has always been to make music, it's not like I've always been running a giant money making scheme.

The music is in no way politically based - I'm not trying to make a point about sampling. It may bring up issues but I'm not trying to push it on anyone.

I still like weird music but there's such an overabundance that it's hard for me to stay enthusiastic about it.

I'm just making fun music so you can let your guard down and enjoy it, don't worry about what's cool and what's not.

I think some people form the traditional DJ worlds misunderstand where I'm coming form.

Dare to succeed. You were born to win.

To have all those noble Romans alive before me, and walking in and out for my entertainment, instead of being the stern taskmasters they had been at school, was a most novel and delightful effect.

We need to see men and women as equal partners, but it's hard to think of movies that do that. When I talk to people, they think of movies of forty-five years ago! Hepburn and Tracy!

I AM your anchor. I AM your haven. Let My Peace and Love infill and enfold you.

Our job with our digestion is to absorb nutrients and eliminate waste, and to not dwell on the waste - which is my issue with some of the pop American psychology masquerading as Yoga, by the way.

We will not permit the triumph of violence in the affairs of men; free people will set the course of history.

I kinda feel like everything comes full circle in life, even though that's a cliche.

When there is crime in society, there is no justice.

What I'm aiming to do within hip-hop is to point out that the music itself is powerful; it reaches so many people.

Once you get into a part, and someone sees you, you get asked to do it again.
