I love how music can create an audiovisual experience. To me, some of the best music is the music that does that.

The ramifications that you set for yourself can inspire you to do things that you would have never thought of because, once you're trapped, your job is to persevere.

I'm a huge Stereolab fan.

I know all my different formulas to get certain sounds. I've been doing this so long that I don't experiment anymore. Or let me rephrase: I've been doing this so long that I don't have to experiment as much.

As me being somebody that makes arguably nostalgic music, I cannot stand when somebody tries to make old music just to sound old.

'Luke Cage' is a gift. There's so many different ways you can look at it.
