I listen to a lot of 80s stuff, like Owner of a Lonely Heart, by the group Yes. And Mr. Misters Broken Wings.

I've always tried different stuff in the studio. I use rakes, spoons, cans... I'm a surround-sound type of guy.

Greatness can never be over because you can lay it down for a minute.

I'm weird, I do crazy things, it's not like the average norm.

I wanna be selective... very selective. Right now, hip-hop's very boring to me. It's no excitement.

Everyone wants to work with the big new producer or the hot new singer. The key is to find them before they're hot.

I look at Lil Wayne as being from my generation.
