I'm really just concentrating on making good music, whether it's using a sample or doing an original track.

My music should evoke a feeling; whether it's a feeling in your stomach, goosebumps, whatever. When you don't get a feeling then there's a problem.

Everybody is looking for a hit single but what the artists really need is an executive producer to help put better albums out.

I have no problem with thinking small. Sometimes you have to think small first in order to think big.

When I'm in the studio I just try to zone out and not think of whatever is in the industry, if it sounds too much like someone else, I have a tendency to erase it.

You can't have somebody guide you through everything - some things you have to learn on your own.

I like so many different genres of music that I guess it would be hard for me to pick one person who inspires me when so many people inspire me to make good music.
