The beauty of having a studio is I can go in and record any time I want to, so you can always put down your ideas or whatever. You use your voice recorder and, you know, take your voice notes down and just preserve all the little jewels and gems when you're in there, putting that song together.

I'm just a product of my environment, and it comes out in the music.

The world is really run by the Web. There's so much information out there that you can click and keep going down the rabbit hole finding stuff.

My kids listen to everything because I listen to everything, so it's not far-fetched to hear them playing Metallica and then playing A Tribe Called Quest or N.W.A.

Look, I got 11,052 songs on my iPod. Cyndi Lauper, Guns N' Roses, Geto Boys, N.W.A. push shuffle and anything will come on.

I'm cooler than a polar bear's toenails... bend corners like I was a curve, I struck a nerve.
