I believe that to knowingly commit actions that cause or condone suffering is reprehensible in the extreme. I call upon you to be compassionate and treat others as you want to be treated. If you don't want to be beaten, imprisoned, mutilated, killed or tortured then you shouldn't condone such behavior towards anyone, be they human or not.

I just want to try - on a daily basis keep trying - to make music that I really love.

When I dj at big venues I try to play tracks that I would want to hear if I were e'd up in a field with 50,000 other people.

As a New Yorker you can't help but be proud of the fact that so much music and culture started here. Punk rock, jazz, hip-hop and house music started here, George Gershwin debuted 'Rhapsody in Blue' here; the Velvet Underground are from New York.

One of the problems with being relatively conscious and human, is that you want to help everybody.

Nothing can stop us now 'cause we are all made of stars.

I'd rather be around broken people who have a degree of humility, and just get on with their work.
