About 20 years ago, I had a dream in which somebody sang one of the most beautiful melodies I'd ever heard, and gave it to me, and warned me not to forget it. Of course, I did forget it by the time I had got out of bed. Now as precaution, my phone is overloaded with half sung melodies.

Guidance is everything, you have to accept that somebody is their own person, an individual.

Running a label in 2013, you don't do it for any financial purpose, you do it for all the amazing creative aspects of what you can achieve.

You can't live life being afraid, because fear censors ambition.

I think I just want to make and be part of great records, because of what it brings to other people, what it gives back, is so incredible.

I'm sure that there are many situations in life that are going to offer the same risks and pitfalls that you have to get past. That's just life.

You have to follow your instinct, and that's what I've tried to do all my life, whether in music or anything.
