Why people used to go to clubs was to have a great time and to forget their troubles and worries and stresses of the week and enjoy themselves and I think that the music was a huge, important part of that

Let their music skill speak for [itself]. If they are producing good tracks and are resonating with their fans, or even gaining new fans, then that's great.

There is a definite Chinese pop sound developing, but I was shocked at how influenced it is by American music.

When I was in the studio with Madonna, we would work 12-hour days. If you want to work with the best, then that's what you have to do.

I'm about to start working with a singer I met on my last trip: she'll get international exposure, and I'll have a song out in that market sung in Cantonese.

Madonna has a very unique style and comes up constantly with these great songs.

All of the artists that I've worked with have an incredible work ethic. And Madonna has the best work ethic of them all. I've learned a lot from being around her.
