But this does not put them beyond common morality.

Whereas it might take three or four hours if you start over, you might finish if you just work that extra hour.

Which is why I think computer people tend to be night people - because a machine doesn't get sleepy.

There always comes, I think, a sort of peak in suffering at which either you win over your pain or your pain wins over you, according as to whether you can, or cannot, call up that extra ounce of endurance that helps you to break through the circle of yourself and do the hitherto impossible.

Once you live longer than you're supposed to live, things go dreadfully wrong. But nevertheless, you're not dead.

When you're a producer on top of that, just havin' a beat that's hot is not enough. Now you know your sound, 'cause you've been workin' on your sound for so long, and now you're extra picky.

So you're extra picky.
