My ambition is to further create a signature sound, a signature spirit, that makes some kind of contribution to music in general.

It doesn't matter the kind of music, it doesn't matter whether it's a cowboy hat or a yarmulke. I don't care if it's outer space or pop, the spirit is the same.

You want a hero in the music world? James Brown. He brought a feeling to music without really using words. He's just famous for his sound.

Rap is poetry to music, like beatniks without beards and bongos.

A general loathing of a gang or sect usually has some sound basis in instinct.

Music is like girlfriends to me; I'm continually astonished by the choices other people make.
