Music is its own language - if you don't speak it, it's hard to say what you're trying to do.

There's nothing better than making music and hearing 3,000 people chant, 'Afrojack! Afrojack!'

I think the thing that L.A. had on Sydney is an awesome music scene, especially for what I do.

As long as we're in a democracy, I have to give what I think the majority of people will enjoy.

I don't have the same respect for time as most people. I take that extra day to think about it.

Growing up, all of my friends would set their schedules to the showing of kung fu movies on TV.

The way I see EDM right now, it's a healthy industry for sure - minimal work for maximum profit.

I've always believed food, like music, has the power to change our day and even shape our world.

I feel like my music has a reputation for being pretty serious or whatnot, but I like having fun.

Ellington is a writer and arranger, as well as a musician and leader. He does movie sound tracks.

Grew up in Stapleton House village, where blood flood the waters in the streets like oil spillage

For me, one of the downfalls of electronic music is that it can feel a little soulless or robotic.

If I were to put on Barbra Streisand and Duke Ellington, one might say the combination isn't good.

I didn't discover how music and film could work together until Jim Jarmusch had me do 'Ghost Dog.'

I just understand that Im supposed to be one of those people that disrupts the flavor a little bit.

I go through phases where I'm not into jazz as much, and then I'll get heavy, heavy, heavy into it.

I love Snoop - I grew up with his music - but I never thought for a second that we'd work together.

This is the way to hear music, I think, surrounded by rolling hills and farmlands, under a big sky.

I fear no secret of a person I trust, and he has no need to fear mine. It is part of being friends.

I first was introduced to really, I guess, underground electronic music when I was in middle school.

I wouldn't want to get involved with a game that's a stinker - I can smell one of those a mile away.

I have a special style of frying tofu that even the most carnivorous meat-and-potatoes eaters enjoy.

It's pretty much the songs I write that dictate what vibe it should be and what singers it should be.

When I'm working on something and need to take a little break, I'll go down and play some video games.

I'm so thankful that I had music to turn to in the dark times and be able to understand myself through it.

I always had this imagination about making colorful movies. I use to walk to school and daydream about it.
