I've been sampled so much and I'm glad it's happened, it's a great compliment.
DJs and people in the street know what they like.
I always had this energy level that made me want to come to New York.
I don't like rap that you can't understand. The youth is so quick and alert.
When I was recording from '70 to '82, I always played piano and laid the tracks down. But I used to talk to the other musicians while the track was playing.
Back in the day, I used to be in the studio recording 20 hours a day. And that was all of the time. I still record a lot of hours, but I don't go as long as I used to.
