I know this because the worst has happened. The thing I can’t live with… has happened. And for all our back and forth— and all the things we’ve said and done to each other… there’s one thing that I’ll never be able to tell anyone now… The one thing! The one thing I should have told you. But now I can’t… It wasn't worth it.

Brian Michael Bendis

Leave one wolf alive, and the sheep will never be safe.

People still talk about sampling as this new, progressive problem in music. There are technologies now where you can glean the polyphonic information out of a sample and then put that back in and then score it for five instruments. You don't need digital audio to sample; you can rewrite things.

Tim Hecker

Music is going to go in some direction that is entirely inconceivable now. If someone had been asked twenty years ago what direction they thought music was going in, they wouldn't have said sampling.

Adam Yauch (MCA, The Beastie Boys)

Never confuse education with intelligence. You can have a Master's degree and still be a fucking idiot.

A lot of artists who have a certain style are expected to more or less keep doing their style. It’s so easy to get into that rut of production.

David Byrne

Nothing disturbs me more than the glorification of stupidity.

Carl Sagan

Some people don't understand that sitting in your own house alone in peace, eating snacks and minding your business is just priceless.

Tom Hardy

As a producer you need patience, you can’t always rush things so you need to allow time for the magic to happen. This can take a bit of time, or you may have to come back to something if it’s not quite there. You know when it’s right though!

Every now and then there might be a beat someone turned down that I have as an unused beat. But everything that predominantly matches the artist in my 30 years of doing this, it was me walking in and sitting there with no drums, no samples, no nothing, and making a beat on the spot.
