There's individual turntable setups devoted to piano, bass, drums and a set for soloing as well. We like to try and explore the gamut of what a turntable can do.

Playing with decks, for me, has always been about trying new things. I make it a point to keep trying different things, keep pushing it a little bit at a time.

I realized that we were all sort of conspiring, well, not conspiring against each other, but all this cloak and dagger stuff and I was like; what is this?

It's funny how making odd noises can get you into strange situations sometimes.

A lot of the stuff I've accumulated over the last few years of touring I thought was really interesting. Like sounds, sound bites, and beats even, but they weren't good dance beats they weren't ones anyone would want to rap over or anything.

If you met my dad, I think a lot of things would be put to rest. Because my pops is a pretty silly guy. But, Coldcut, they're based in the U.K. I'm a big fan of jazz music, so American music has had a big influence on what I listen to.

When the generation after me started getting on the cut, a lot of them would call me over to hang out or go jam and scratch and they were always separate from each other.

When I started, there weren't that many kids doing it in the city, but the in the wave after me there were a lot of them and they actually never spoke to each other.

You can say battle or war or whatever, but in the end, it's music. It's not really violent in intent at all, it's really just about expression and celebrating that in itself.

Eventually we want to do a puppet musical with turntables in the orchestra pit.

My scratching I don't really think communicates to intelligent life forms. Anyone with more than one brain cell would think Kid Koala music is completely retarded.

We're on tour to kind of explain why we do what we do, how its done and how we put it together.

I try and make little stories. Whether it's with a pencil or with bits of records, it's really the same thing.

Even though you were radiated doesn't mean you get to have that sort of power.

I really enjoyed the sort of real crazy, eclectic layering stuff and how it all worked together. I could tell it was some of it was derivative of something. I could tell that certain things were being looped around and I just really enjoyed the way that it all came together.

Eventually it just got really crazy. Less and less oxygen in the apartment.

Nothing to do with anything, something to do with everything.

If you can understand the humor in the drawing part you'll probably get the humor in the audio part.

Dear motorist on the information superhighway. I'm sorry I do not have a car.

When I'm playing with the band or playing with some projects or some of my own stuff it's about the musical approach. That would be the more turntablist approach to things of where it's strictly about music.

I'm not here to battle anybody. In the end it's just an instrument. That shouldn't be a concept.

The fact is the U.S. has enormous resource potential available to it.

The White House New Media team circulates multiple highlights each day of what people are looking for online - Twitter trending topics, popular Google searches, etc. - and it gives us a sense of what's breaking through, what isn't, and a sanity check for what the larger online population cares about at any given time.

Information networks straddle the world. Nothing remains concealed. But the sheer volume of information dissolves the information. We are unable to take it all in.

There is only one real failure in life that is possible, and that is not to be true to the best one knows.

We have a plan for a stronger middle class, with the goal of generating 12 million new jobs over the next four years.

You might make a lot of money, but it's very hard to get out from under that rug. The more you can reinvent yourself, the better - and unfortunately TV is designed not to let you redesign yourself.

When the waitress asked if I wanted my pizza cut into four or eight slices I said Four. I dont think I can eat eight.

I like to tread uncharted territory and push myself in terms of performance.

Deadlines give us the sense that we are really on our way and that we will achieve the goal – soon!

Conservatives frequently complain of being frozen out of the culture industry, though, like all industries, the culture industry will produce or sell anything it expects to profit from.

Part of making TV is the process - you just have to churn it out.

The same group of New York pseudo-intellectuals who've put down prayer are the same ones who put down L.A.

I've always kind of been a little skeptical about bands that won't play their hits. That's really arrogant to me as a music fan. I do want to hear obscure songs, but like most people, I want to hear the hits, so we always play them.

I think I always wanted to be an actor - sounds a bit boring, doesn't it? And I pretended once that I wanted to be a vet because one of the teachers asked me and saying you want to be an actor sounds a little bit silly. And I do still feel a bit silly saying it. You feel a bit fraudulent.

I like to deal in the reality of life. I'm too old to sing about women and things like that.

Buy land, they're not making it anymore.

Poetry is the impish attempt to paint the color of the wind.

I find myself unable to let go of the sense that human beings are somehow special, and that moment-to-moment human experience contains a certain unquantifiable essence. I still suspect there is something too quirky, too paradoxical, or too interpersonal to be imitated or re-created by machine life.

I'm from Canada, and New Zealand feels like you took all the best bits of Canada and squished them onto a tiny island like Hawaii. I was absolutely blown away by the beauty of the South Island.

Our life is our masterpiece, it's up to us on how we paint our story. It's up to us how we see the substances we have. At the end of the day, all our accumulated stuff will be presented as our greatest piece of work.

So you can't lose serving God, and that all things work together for good.

I'm not a hero.

A graphic is never an end in itself it is a moment in the process of decision making.

We have a lot of historical and religious baggage in our culture. It's ancient; we are clannish as a species. We like things to fit into boxes, and it's unfortunate because humans are unique and should be celebrated and embraced as such.
