Amy [Winehouse] changed pop music forever, I remember knowing there was hope, and feeling not alone because of her. She lived jazz, she lived the blues.

When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance.

My goal in life is to give to the world what I was lucky to receive: the ecstasy of divine union through my music and my dance.

I'm also very impressed with the best people in experimental electronic world, like Peta and Eckart Aillers and Finez and Jim O'Rourke and Oren Umbarci and Francesco Lopez. Most of them use the computer as their main instrument.

I have so many playlists full of Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown.

I think Kenny Chesney or Garth Brooks would be the coolest duet partners. I look up to them so much for their work ethics.
