All the best bands have a language, and what they say within that language makes it is what it is.

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

I think the two sides to me are the same as two sides to anybody. In relation to the link between doing the label and being a DJ, it goes back to the thing of necessity. It's the only way I feel I can do something creative that's going to satisfy me.

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.

It's all gravy when everything's great, but if there comes a point where there's a problem, as with any kind of relationship you need to fix it. There's always going to be something, and it could be the smallest detail you'd never have expected or it could be something substantial, but it's how you deal with things.

Instinct is the most powerful thing you have, and you have to trust it.

There's zero correlation between owning music and being a greater music lover or musician than the next person.
