My Mother Was Pretty Strict. I Hated

I Didn't Really Get That Good At Cutting Because I Didn't Have Those Three Years Of Gestating And Nurturing My Skills In The Bedroom. I Was Kind Of, Like, Out And Playing In Clubs After Three Of Four Months, Because I Was Pushy With Promoters. But I Would Just Listen To The Radio - Stretch Armstrong And Red Alert - And Then I Would Go Hang Out With Mayhem, Who Did The Wnyu Hip-hop Show.

You Know, That Was The First Time [with Any Winehouse] That I Probably Ever Used A Baritone Sax. And It's Certainly The Texture That, You Know - It's All Over The Record 'cause It's A Nice Compliment To Her Tone.

I Never Studied Jazz Technically; I Just Know And Love The Music.

I Think, You Know, For Me, Whatever I Need To Slot Into To Make That Music The Best It Can Be Or Help The Artists, Or Whoever I'm Working With, Achieve Whatever Vision They Have In Their Head For A Song.

It's Like Every Time You Have One Of These, You're Sort Of - Your Lease Is Renewed Another Five Years. And That's Kind Of Great For Me 'cause That's All I Really Want To Be Doing Still At This Point, Like Just Making Records And Getting To Work With, Like, Artists That I Think Are Exciting.
