I suppose it's nice to have some surprise in life and to surprise yourself in life and see what else you can do.

I still love playing music. It was all I ever wanted to do, and I got the chance to do it.

Everyone gets frustrated and aggressive, and I'd sooner take my aggression out on a guitar than on a person.

I don't know if there's any formula. I'm not sure I believe in that, to be honest. I don't know if there's any rhyme or reason to music. Sometimes it hits and sometimes it doesn't, really.

I'd like to think I've left something in the world. Without in any way trying to be morbid, but life is very short, and I'd like to think I'd leave some body of work that would inspire other musicians long after I've gone.

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.
