In the past I've had public feuds with people, and I have really not benefited from any of them. The feud with Eminem did kind of torpedo my career in the United States, but it also introduced me to Middle America in a way I never could have conceived of.

I honestly haven't thought much about what to play and where, perhaps i should...it seems like most musicians are better at that than I am.

I've worked with all sorts of random people - everybody from Metallica to Britney Spears to Ozzy Osbourne to Michael Jackson to the Beastie Boys. I've got a really strange CV. It's interesting - I work with a lot of these disparate, different people to learn what it's like to work with random people.

I thought that my life would be spent working in a bookstore, teaching community college, and making music in my spare time that no one would be willing to listen to.

I'd much rather go out and have music randomly presented to me by different DJs than stay home and discover it on my own.

I have actually found myself buying up more and more old analogue gear. I have this strange obsession with old drum machines.

There's no wrong way to meditate. And meditation should never be a difficult practice that leads to self criticism.
