Daft Punk wouldn't have normally fit into anything that was pop on the radio, but they just did it.
melodies music
I'm into song-writing; I'm into melodies that break your heart a little bit. That's the thing that got me into music; that's what I look for in music for the most part.
remix
After the 'Grey Album,' everyone thought of me as the hip-hop guy, the remix maestro. I didn't know how to show them otherwise.

I often have an argument with people. I say name me a classic song that's not sad in some kind of way. And even if you can, you'll have to search pretty far.
drawn music people
I find that the kinds of music I'm drawn to are those that a lot of people take for granted.
music stuck
I'd hate to have to leave music, but if I got stuck some place, I would.

Basically, the way I do it is I get to work with a bunch of people; get a bunch of great people together, and you'll be able to get something cool on the other side.
create good music quitting time
When I don't have a good time making music, I think of quitting a lot. I really do. I can create something else. I'll do something else.

I started out really making music in my dorm room, and it wasnt really producing or anything like that; it was you making something.
passion people matter
No matter how naturally gifted you are, it's your passion that's going to make you better and maybe touch some people.
musician enough position
The musicians themselves don't seem to know enough about why they're in the positions they're in, so they're afraid to lose those positions.
people band wake-up
I've had nightmares about having to kick people out of my band because they've said that they don't like the Beatles. I'd wake up and turn to them and say, "You like the Beatles, right?"
