Music is my life, it is a reflection of what I go through.

Tape machines are effects boxes as well because each tape machine has its own sound. You can over-load a tape machine or you can bump it a certain way so it compresses or makes a sound, tape saturation.

I started out making furniture because I couldn't find certain things, and then I really got into it.

I've woken up from dreams and the whole song is there. I'm listening to it in my dreams. I consciously have to wake myself up and get a tape recorder because I hear it like a record.

I'm just as white as I am black, and I'm just as Russian Jew as I am West Indian.

I am trying to get closer to God.

You've got your entourage and people that help you make whatever happen around you. Everything's crazy and you're not paying attention to your inner feelings because you're so busy. I couldn't take it.
