People are going to be seeing me a lot everywhere: TVs, music, movies, festivals. You name it, I'm gonna be there.

Nowadays, all the people who are major are just DJs. The lighting and all that makes the show - without all of that stuff, it's just a person behind a laptop. With me, though, it's an actual show.

I want to produce with people that are going to be on the charts and win Grammys because having regular old street songs is cool, but I did all that already.

I don't practice. It's a gift. It's talent. Obviously, I do it all the time so it's like I'm practicing, but that's just what I do. Sometimes I'll be in the studio flipping through beats and I'll do something quick and people will be like, "What the?!" It's natural! I don't need to be nice like that, I just do it.

I don't just strictly sample. I build. I'm a musician: I play piano and drums, I read notes, I write music.

I'm not stuck strictly doing hip-hop. Songs from the dance/electronic scene are my favorite to make and remix, and I like that world.

What's crazy to me is that people now assume I'm behind [hip-hop] tracks that other people are putting out. They're just sitting on the edge of their chair waiting for me to put out [rap beats]. But it's not going to happen. I've graduated from that.
