Well, I sort of don't trust anybody who doesn't like Led Zeppelin.

I'm one of those people that you have to keep your eye on or I'll wander off into the woods and forget to come back.

I made a rule for myself in my early 20s not to become a record collector in the sense that I reference all my old records. I can't live like that. I'd just be trapped in comparison, trying to emulate something, so I made a rule to just buy what I need, just the records I need.

I consider music to be storytelling, melody and rhythm. A lot of hip-hop has broken music down. There are no instruments and no songwriting. So you're left with just storytelling and rhythm. And the storytelling can be so braggadocious, you're just left with rhythm.

I think that sometimes love gets in the way of itself - you know, love interrupts itself. We want things so much that we sabotage them.

Like it or not, people tend to buy paintings to match their drapes, couch or carpet. I know you want them to be so overwhelmed with your skills they can't resist hauling your art home. These three factors are what dictate most art sales.

I have never in my whole life asked for an autograph. It seems a little ... unnecessary.
