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

I've looked at pictures that my mom has of me, from when I was four years old at the turntable. I'm there, reaching up to play the records. I feel like I was bred to do what I do. I've been into music, and listening to music and critiquing it, my whole life.

I can take a three-year-old and make a hit record with him.

The record business. It’s exactly what it is-Record-Busin ess. You have to take care of both, or they won’t take care of you.

Anyone that's trying to do something to improve sound... that's all good.

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.
