If I hear a record once, I usually never listen to it again. I rarely listen to music - unless it's Billie Holiday.
Being a woman in music was fine, but when I wanted to direct, I was poking my head into a man's world.
I don't read music. Not even essentially. Not even nonessentially.
When I'm skiing, I listen to electronic music. It's repetitive and let's me get into a groove and crank out the miles.
I'm inspired by music. Sometimes more than I want to be.
I use music in the operating room to help create a healing environment for patients and staff. There is a reason that certain heart rates are healthy and certain beats of music heal and relax us.
People who tend to listen to my music have come back and said, 'Yo, this is my anthem. This is what I live by.'
G.O.O.D. Music is just real tastemakers, man. Kanye's a real tastemaker. One thing that I feel is tight about G.O.O.D. is that a lot of people have their own style, and you can see that. My style is different than Pusha's, it's different than Cudi's....
As a crew, G.O.O.D. Music is taking it to levels that really haven't been done collectively. Kanye is someone who knows how to make classic albums, a true thinker. He got me in the mindset of being a true thinker and always planning out every move yo...
I feel like I definitely have a real sporty style, more so than a lot of people in G.O.O.D. Music.

I had an advantage because people would post me on blogs because I had co-signs from Kanye West, Def Jam, and G.O.O.D. Music. Everything I put out, the blogs would put up. When I realized that, I used that to my advantage and helped build my followin...
Music is always changing and the changes are unpredictable.
I listened to many different types of instruments and music, and have always tried to look at the bass as an instrument as opposed to only a bass.
I'm a fan of many different styles of classical and symphonic music.
Very often I suspend my musical sensibilities to enjoy music as a fan.
We'll see some simplistic players for a while, who'll then get into more complicated things and evolve with their instruments. This is a cycle that happens over and over again in music.
Be honest with yourself and the way you act when you hear music. That way, when people watch, they'll see something from your heart and soul, and as a result will communicate your feeling and thought much better.
I wasn't really writing with anything commercial in mind I just wanted to create some new music.
I have always enjoyed different kinds of music.
I moved to Nashville at 17 to make music, and since then I've put everything I have into doing it right.
