Drugs have nothing to do with the creation of music. In fact, they are dumb and self indulgent. Kind of like sucking your thumb!
I really enjoy dancing. When there's music around, I can't help it; I start dancing, especially when I'm with friends.
My sisters and I like a lot of different styles of music, but we're inspired by real artists like Beyonce and Adele.
I don't watch TV. In my spare time, if I have any, I want to make music.
Meeting all the wonderful, new people and people appreciating my new music has been a really fun and blessed ride.
These things I sample, or clip, are things that we share - music, films, sounds. It triggers a layer of participation from the audience as they recognize the material and remember it.

You must surrender whatever preconceptions you have about music if you're really interested in it.
I have a ballet barre in my gym. I turn the music up so loud that the walls are pulsating, and I go for it for an hour.

On the other hand, what I like my music to do to me is awaken the ghosts inside of me. Not the demons, you understand, but the ghosts.
With music, you often don't have to translate it. It just affects you, and you don't know why.
What's completely insane to me is that people would consider music that's simple to be dumbed-down. Couldn't simplicity be a deliberate, smart choice?
You know, most people called rap stupid when it started, and it was one of the most innovative music forms of its time.
Music drives you. It wakes you up, it gets you pumping. And, at the end of the day, the correct tune will chill you down.
I think music is the only thing that I'll ever really have.
My studio is a laptop. Everybody I work with is the same. We make computer music, we're the laptop generation.
The ideal situation would be to bypass all of the drama and mayhem and just get the music right to the people. I'm confident that we'll eventually figure it out.
