I can create a vibe without saying anything, just by being in the room.

I wouldn't want to hear Beethoven without beautiful bass, the cellos, the tuba. It's very important. Hip-hop has thunderous bass. And so does Beethoven. If you don't have the bass, it's like being amputated. It's like you have no legs.

But it's not only: What are you going to do about touring, it's: What are you going to do with your life? Is there a point to what we do? I think there is. Making music, creating beautiful things. We have to be in love with the good and the beautiful. If we are not, then you're in a nihilistic state.

I'm an artist and that means I can be as egotistical as I want to be.

Sound is more than just noise. Ordered sound is music. My life is music.

The heart says what only the heart knows.

I always thought martial arts was the most modern choreography we could have right now, and I always wanted to put it to music.
