She [Beyonce] is just an energetic performer and she loves drums. She loves edge.

I never feel like I've done good enough. That's why I'm always so excited about working because I gotta keep pushing myself to do better work, to do great work.

One half was like, I hope this doesn't affect it, and the other half was like, it's great that people know I did a Beyoncé record.

You might be a legend one day if you just keep your head to the ground and never get overzealous and start thinking you've outdone yourself. That's the space I try to stay in.

I made the record, and I sent it over to Jay Brown, who was working on Rihanna's album. He was like, "Send me that record for Rihanna."

You know Beyoncé, man. She's very quiet about how she does things. She doesn't like to let everybody know what she's about to do.

Generally, you're always shooting in the dark with Beyonce. She's just creative and eclectic and up on always trying to be ahead of the game. That was the moment of me trying to figure out how I wanted to give her another moment.
