I realize Im an ambitious guy, but I just try to take things as they come, you know, for the most part.

Your reputation is what influences people to think, feel and talk about you the way they do.

We cannot make rivers whole unless we wholly understand them.

The biggest revolutions are the ones that happen in-between our ears.

You can get the oldest drum machine out and whack out four sounds like a kick, snare, and two types of high-hat, and try and come up with the freshest thing on the spot. The gear can guide you - you can choose one bit of gear and it's obviously got its restrictions and its limitations, but at the same time, you've got to exploit what it's capable of and what it's best used for.

You can sit in front of a computer and have a blank slate and be completely overwhelmed by the possibilities and not get anywhere.
