I built computers and stuff when I was a teenager and whatever.

I've always been a techie kind of person.

I need to help people to create the best work that they can. It's just something a producer should do anyway.

Whenever I am making stuff, I got a thing in the back of my mind: 'Oh, this would be so perfect for' whoever.

My collaborations tend to be pretty organic. It starts off with me being a fan first.

I love 'Pop Team Epic,' which is really trippy.

I was 10 years old when the Northridge quake happened, and I lived right in the area, so it was a traumatic thing for me. I'd never had anything like that happen before. It's always stuck with me.

I can't let darkness be what guides my decisions. I can't let that be what guides how I treat people. I can't let that be what drives my art, either.

I'm always seeing stuff and imagining scenes in my head when I'm making music.

I'm the kind of person who needs to be challenged all the time. I need my brain to go, or else I just end up playing video games all day, you know? That's cool too, I guess, at times.

I like boring. Boring is cool.

Childish Gambino - him and I are the same age, and I really like him.

My music divides people!

I've been working with Thundercat forever.

I'm a silly guy.

I like comedy.

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

I just understand that I'm supposed to be one of those people that disrupts the flavor a little bit instead of being part of the same sound as everyone else.

I'd love to work with Drake. I got Drake beats.

Takashi Miike is definitely one of my top five, you know?

I am a big cinema nerd! I've absorbed a lot of films.

Death is a reality, and one day I'm not going to be here anymore, and whatever's next might not be that bad either.

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

Part of what I like to do with Brainfeeder is to get the younger kids hearing jazz, because they don't know where to go to really hear it. Brainfeeder gives me a platform to put out people like Kamasi Washington or Austin Peralta.
