I don't do this for the money, I don't do it for record sales, I don't really care about that, I just want to make beats.

Everything I make as a producer, I visualize it as a DJ first. And all those beats, I test them as a DJ.

When you are in your 20's and 30's, you just want a hit record and you don't really care how it happens.

When I was running 'round in America, about 30 years old, I didn't want no woman. I knowed I could make enough money to take care of myself, but I didn't want nobody to take care of.

Our job as producers is to make the music sound as good as possible.

My studio is a laptop. Everybody I work with is the same. We make computer music, we're the laptop generation.
