I will never do a record without some sense of responsibility.

I have enough rhythm to blend at this point. I have enough rhythm to blend one song into another. But man, I have such respect for the art of deejaying. I hesitate to even call myself a deejay.

And you know, art as commerce, doesn't really make too much sense, they don't go together.

Well if somebody's giving me a script, I'll consider it. But it's not something I'm chasing.

I don't feel comfortable making empty music.

Hip-hop is a vehicle.

I like the fact that I can rep New York, but my style does not - I'm not trapped in a New York thing. I can do art songs with other artists and it's seamless.
