I have a hard time repeating myself.

I realized I liked being in the studio and working on translating the ideas into recordings.

Hip-hop has never had boundaries - the more adventurous it is, the more popular it seems to be.

The best bands kept making records and had this evolution, where by the end, by their commercial phase or sellout phase, the records are from outer space.

Im still an idealist. My manager is always trying to talk me out of it, but thats just the way I am.

If the chemistry between me and the artist is good, then that's half the battle.

It was very punk rock for me to take a stab at working with Justin Bieber. I don't know how people portray that, or 'Climax,' for that matter. But for me, it was the most adventurous thing I could have done at that exact moment.
