"I think that your reputation is built off of of your repetition, so for years we've been saying, 'If you try to interfere, we just won't do anything, and I don't need to be A&R'd. If you give us the dough, we'll make a record you'll like, I promise. And if you don't, then you should drop us.' And I'd rather bet on the music than anything else. I like to make the music that I really love. You're supposed to make your favorite music that no one else played, and I'd like to just keep it at that and not really change it at all."















"It’s just like when you’ve got some coffee that’s too black, which means it’s too strong. What do you do? You integrate it with cream, you make it weak. But if you pour too much cream in it, you won’t even know you ever had coffee. It used to be hot, it becomes cool. It used to be strong, it becomes weak. It used to wake you up, now it puts you to sleep."

"The degree to which this racism is deliberate is arguable but ultimately inconsequential when considering its actuality. When somebody says something racially offensive, it doesn’t matter if they intended to be racist or not. If somebody rear-ends your car, they’re liable for damages whether or not they meant to do it. Even when the aesthetic trope is used in a way that’s ostensibly devoid of or opposed to the racist characteristics to which it’s historically linked, the ugly history of the trope is still there and must be addressed if the work is to be of any significant positive cultural value."
