After 2001, everyone in the Soulquarians blew up, which wasn't expected. We all got the success, and then everybody froze.

I prefer to unwind by DJing. I learned that from Mike D from the Beastie Boys. After a show, he would DJ. Once I saw that, I wanted to do that. And now DJing is like my lifeline. I love the power it represents.

Hip-hop is so much about character and caricature that people just see you as a character. Very rarely are you flesh and bone to people.

I don't believe in good music and bad music anymore. I'm through with that phase of my life. Sometimes I just wanna feel good, so I put on a good record. But mostly I'm more of a businessman than a music fan, so I'm listening to music in terms of, is this effective or not effective?

I keep moving through time and time keeps moving through me. And through that process, life takes shape. The question is what shape it is. I'm not the first person to ask that question, or to see how absurd it is to think there's a real answer. Maybe life's a circle.

I want to be as healthy as I can be so I can make it past 50; make it past 60 and make it past 70.

I don't have friends, and it's hard for me to make new friends. Right now, the people that are in my life are the people that I work with.
