Kurt Cobain represents a very legit, realistic outlook. Before that, in my head, to be a white artist was to be privileged.

I hate videos. I'm meticulous on everything from cover art, fonts, productions, mixing. But when it comes to videos, I just feel so defeated.

I think the music comes first, then comes the fashion, and thus, the lifestyle. I believe it starts with music, and then the person delivering it delivers the lifestyle, the fashion. Madonna is a great example of that.

When you live your life through records, the records are a record of your life.

I don't bask in the awards I've won, read my bank statements, I refuse. To me, that's how you start losing the hunger.

In the 2000s, I became an artist. I started preserving and educating. I became more obsessed with making iPod playlists for people.

I never want to get to that level of poverty where taking a bath has to be a hot-pot experience.
