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

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?

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.

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.

Team competition is my priority.

Ah, in work, love and the movies, everything is a fight.

I'm constantly humbled.

With Schubert, a lot of the melodies are very simple, but he's in this groove. He's in touch with his heart.

Awards are important for all directors because they improve your working conditions. You're only as good as your last film, so if you get prizes or large audiences, then you get more money for your next film.

Just as a flower which seems beautiful and has color but no perfume, so are the fruitless words of the man who speaks them but does them not.

I'm kind of a rebound junkie. So. when a relationship goes sour, I look at the sweetness in life elsewhere. So, I date a bit. The best catharsis is to write jokes and tell 4,000 people about it.

Ownership and control is important, because if you don't own what you do, all sorts of stupid stuff happens to it, and people spend good money on garbage.

I've been an assistant to a folklorist and a teacher. There may or may not have been some sandwich-making at a certain sub chain in my past as well.

I have my golden retriever now, Pontiac. He's a career-change guide dog from Guide Dogs for the Blind.

When my father passed away and then when later on I gave birth, those are sort of ground-breaking experiences that put everything else into perspective.

I think country music is Lynyrd Skynyrd. I think a lot of the country music is what we do, but I don't think rock & roll is dead at all.

The primary requisite for writing well about food is a good appetite.

My favorite movie is 'Die Hard.' It doesn't have pinatas and mariachis. It's just a good movie.

Worrying is the most natural and spontaneous of all human functions.

I remember an article, I can't recall who by, it was after the fall of the Berlin Wall, which said that now the Wall was down, there could be no more class war. Only someone with money could ever say such a thing.

I think a basic level of fitness can help the body cope with all manner of incidents.

It's always hard to wrap up a series. The longer I spend with the characters, the more they become like friends.

Knowledge is an island surrounded by a sea of mystery.

I don't regret setting bombs.

The worst thing about work in the house or home is that whatever you do is destroyed laid waste or eaten within twenty four hours.

If you know two languages the level of your intelligence is multiplied a hundredfold in other peoples eyes.

Without the name, any flower is still more or less a stranger to you. The name betrays its family, its relationship to other flowers, and gives the mind something tangible to grasp. It is very difficult for persons who have had no special training to learn the names of the flowers from the botany.

America is not a blanket woven from one thread, one color, one cloth.
