Writing songs is really about writing. It's not about necessarily focusing on one particular style or making it one particular thing.

Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.

I would love to compose something for dance before I kick the bucket, and I'm not closed-minded about the dance, or the dance company.

I can't just make a song people can dance in a club to... it still has to be real.

For me rappers and dancers are poets and artists and often times the most interesting performances are given by them.

When I think of folk music, I think of topical songs. And I don't write topical songs.

I love writing for dancers. You don't have to worry about the lyrics. I think to write words without music must be so frustrating. It must be always be so good, so perfect.

It's a blessing as an artist to express myself - whether that be via dance, via song or via speech - in so many different ways.

Dance music is no longer a simple Donna Summer beat. It's become a whole language that I find fascinating and exciting. Eventually, it will lose the dance tag and join the fore of rock.
