But It All Came, And For Me,

The Effect Hip-hop Had On Me Was Enormous. I Was Exposed To It By Happenstance. My Father Worked At A Radio Station In New York Called Wktu Disco 92. It Was The First Radio Station In New York City To Play Disco In The Late '70s.

To Be Able To Play Somebody That Says And Does Pretty Much Whatever He Wants Is Great.

When I Was A Kid, My First Favorite Song Was Probably Lou Reed's "walk On The Wild Side."

The Thing About New York Is You Can Leave Your House Without A Plan And Find The Day. You Can't Do That In Los Angeles. You Need To Get In Your Car, All This, You Can't Just Drive Around Like A Lunatic. In New York, You Can Literally Walk Outside, And Wind Up Anywhere.

I'm Not Going To Try And Change How People Perceive Me. I Think It's Important To Be A Contradiction. People Are Contradictions; Everyone Has Contradictions. So I Don't Expect Anyone To Look At Me Differently.
