People see me on stage and sometimes they think, "Who's this hotdog thinking that he's the best." They miss the point that what I'm doing now comes from a whole different world of doing it for no one with nobody caring.

In the past, hearing music had more value.

Nowadays when you buy music its like you're donating to that cause, because you most likely could hear it in some capacity for free.

I do try to pick music that is from different worlds and typically doesn't flow together. When you do that, you get songs with conflicting messages, but for me, it's on a musical level first and foremost.

I can't wait to wake up in the morning and listen to music in order to try to find something to work with.

I am ultimately comfortable with what I'm sampling.

I feel like there's always something to prove.
