People Are Willing To Get Short-term Gains

I'm Just Trying To Make My Favorite Music. That's How I Work; I Just Do Things Based On The Way They Feel To Me. I Want To Be Touched By The Music I'm Making. Luckily, Other People Have Shared That Response To My Work Over The Years.

Everything Happens Kind Of The Way It's Supposed To Happen, And We Just Watch It Unfold. And You Can't Control It. Looking Back, You Can't Say, "i Should've..." You Didn't, And Had You, The Outcome Would Have Been Different.

I Really Like The Challenge Of Working With Different Kinds Of Music. I Feel Like My Role Is Really Like A Coach, So I Feel Like I Can Do My Job For Different Kinds Of Music That May Not Necessarily Be What I Listen To.

Everything I Do, Whether It's Producing Or Signing An Artist, Always Starts With The Songs. When I'm Listening, I'm Looking For A Balance That You Could See In Anything. Whether It's A Great Painting Or A Building Or A Sunset.

Well I Listened To Mostly Rock Music, And I Felt Like Hip Hop Was Like An Extension Of Rock Music When It Was Done Well. So Energetically, Again I Felt Like It Was In Line With Punk Rock And Maybe Hard Rock, More Than It Was In Line With R&b, Which I Never Really Liked.
