We're just getting better at our trade, man. We know what we're doing, and the reason why is that we've spent 30 years doing it. There's nothing that can replace that.

But of course it's always gonna be Suicide, our fingerprints, ya know? You can't ever get rid of that.

Usually I'm the one who does the covers. And I just said, man, it would be nice to see what somebody else could do, outside of this thing. A fresher look. And I never, in a million years, would have come up with this. Believe me!

People said that way back in the early days I was probably one of the first rappers; the reason is that I couldn't sing, so I had to talk! Lou Reed was probably the one who started it all.

It was when I saw Iggy Pop, that's what did it for me. That changed my life pretty much.

I like performers who I know are for real. You can tell, man, there's an intensity about their stuff. You can tell right away they're real people, ya know?

You're gonna laugh when I tell you this, man, but I'm starting to enjoy Eminem.
