I mean, at the end of the day when I'm making a record, what I want to do is what I do.

I put together amazing records, whether that's finding the beat or putting the right hook on there, and picking the right artists on the record. That's me being an A&R. And I'm making sure that they give me their best.

I just want to write another record that's as good or better than the one I've already made. That's my main goal, to follow up stronger than before.

I was trying to do the same thing that I always do which is make an interesting record.

I just don't think you can make records easily and have them be great. It's a process. You've got to get really lucky all the time, or you've got to work like mad.

I felt like I was making a record under the radar, and that is my favorite way to do anything.

I never played for records. If I had played for records, then I would have had many more runs against my name. If, by your performance, the team wins, then that is what is most gratifying.

In the beginning, I wanted to be successful. I wanted to make and have hit records.

I think I've done a pretty fantastic job, but of course I want to sell millions of records.

I'm really lucky that my record companies have been patient with me and leave me alone and give me the time to make it right in my mind.
