I wasn't pursuing a musical career or anything. It just happened and then it was there.

There's always music sitting around, but when you're cultivating music, the idea of getting into a studio and compressing it to get something out on time can be really good.

I write all the time. The wonderful thing about having a cell phone is that if I get an idea, I knock it out and it's in my phone and I can transfer it to my computer and go into the studio and bring it up.

There have been times in my life where I was asked to do things and I didn't feel comfortable with it.

Christmas to me is very much about family and the depths of winter.

It's not about mainstream global domination. I make clothes that I can't find. I made a few pieces and Lupe Fiasco bought a pair of trousers I'd made, and a few other artists picked some up.

I'm much more interested in Mike Tyson than I am in Morrissey.
