Engineering and mixing are absolutely key. Once a song is done, for me personally, it's usually two or three days to get the mix down.

No matter how hard you work to bring yourself up, there's someone out there working just as hard, to put you down.

I love the new technology. New things give you a reason to want to go to the studio. New challenges mean you have to keep up, you know?

When the ideas are coming, I don't stop until the ideas stop because that train doesn't come along all the time.

It ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em.

I just took some ecstasy, ain't no tellin' what the side effects could be.

Everything in my life has been about sound and making music, so Beats represents just that - the improvement of sound and the dedication to everything I've been doing from the day I started.
