Everything Dre and I do is completely on feel. We don't prepare for anything... we only work on instinct.

I didn't have any sophistication. I didn't really have any great taste or anything like that. I was just a kid from Brooklyn. But what I learnt is the why, the how. The work ethic.

Dre's from Compton, I'm from Brooklyn, and we both wanted to make a better life for ourselves, right? And we both - somehow, we're both recording engineers, that's how we got our break.

I really think that education is ground zero for fixing anything.

Labels need to work with artists to help them achieve their best work, not to jam records out that are half-baked or three-quarters baked.

The good news is in the record business, they only count your successes.
