It's big production. It's huge. It's using studio technology to your benefit. You don't go in and play live and then just take the tapes and get them mastered. You have to create.
Nearly every moment of every day, we have the opportunity to give something to someone else - our time, our love, our resources.
I actually only started listening to house music around the time I started making it. I got hooked both to making music and to house music.
I've always had a fascination with making your own music but never have been skilled enough to play the instrument, so to be able to make music without the ability was awesome.
Growing up, I never listened to English music. I was more into Motown, as well as early rock n' roll like Chuck Berry and Little Richard.
Plus, you know, when I was young, there was a lot of respect for clowning in rock music - look at Little Richard. It was a part of the whole thing, and I always also believed that it released the audience.
Getting things straight in your head is a major achievement because there's so much clutter out there. You've got to push aside the static to really hear the music.

The trend of opinion among eugenists is that we must make marriage more difficult. Certainly no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny.
Some movies I see today have the most dramatic plot points but the actors are not playing them dramatically.
You know those movies where the people in the audience are screaming, 'Don't go in that door!' because you know the killer is there? Well, it is the same thing with this debt. We know how this ends.
I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are.
Now I start my diary of my personal plot to kill by pistol either Richard Nixon or George Wallace.
I cannot guarantee to endure at all times the confinements of even an attractive cage
One of the reasons why my album is called 'Forget the World' is because when you listen to the world, you make stupid mistakes.
Should l go on playing bridge and dining, going in the same old monotonous circle? It's easy that way, but it's a sort of suicide, too.
I've always been a producer - that's how I see myself first. The DJing came second as a way for me to be able to perform.
There's always haters, no matter what you're doing - whether they're complaining that everything you do sounds the same, or it's too different.
In New York City, the meek don't inherit the earth. The big mouth does.
