When you work with somebody for a long period of time, you develop a shorthand with everything.

I think trying to be offbeat is the most boring thing possible.

There are certain records that you love because the songs are great, but you don't go to them as an example of great production.

I never had any expectations of winning a Grammy. It wasn't something I was set on, that I was hoping and praying and starving for.

Eventually, if you're experimenting with a sound that's unfamiliar, it gets absorbed, and somebody comes and does it better, and it becomes part of a vocabulary.

I love British humor. It's just so - surreal.

I've personally reached the point where the sound of MP3s are so uncompelling, because so much is lost in translation.
