Whatever you want to do is more than possible. It’s what you haven’t dreamt of yet that will blow your mind

That's our job as artists is to be honest about what we're feeling. And what we're feeling is not always going to be perfect. Sometimes it's going to be controversial. Sometimes it's going to piss a couple of people off. Sometimes it's going to motivate people. Sometimes it's going to inspire.

That's sort of what I try to do with music: to harness whatever energy is already there and see where that momentum takes me. Sometimes you're spinning that oncoming momentum in a different direction, or sometimes you're coercing it to consider itself, or sometimes you're holding it up to a mirror. But I don't really like to interrupt and come in and destroy everything and start all over. I'm not that kind of guy.

First thing I do [in the morning] is thank the master. I thank God every day.

Intake is everything. And that is, that's where you start to realize your ego has no business in our business. Once you think you know everything, it's only a matter of time. So I will forever remain a student.

The best work comes from people who are motivated by crisis. When something stops their original idea, they respond by coming up with something even better.

When you're playing, you're playing something for the world to hear.
