There have been records I've been really, really pleased with that haven't connected with people. But I felt good about them.

When I'm dead I wanna leave a body of work, like authors or great painters do.

Young people can listen to music at any moment in the day or night. Which is great, but I think it kind of devalues it as well. They don't feel the need to own it. They certainly don't feel the need to pay for it. I'd have to save up for weeks to buy an album when I was a kid, and that made it even more great for me when I finally got that thing in my hand.

The way that house music has become so white and so sanitized over the decades and the fact it's still going on, well I think it's sad really, but at the time I really loved it. I loved all the black house music that was coming out of Chicago and New Jersey, which I just thought was really soulful.

I've always liked my clothes, even before I could properly afford them. Clothes for me were never a cloak, a cover. They were how I chose to express myself.

Sometimes you're ahead of the game and sometimes people don't get it and that's just one of those things you have to accept and carry on.

It is nice to make a record and people like it, and it's encouraging.
