| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | The thing about being around for a frickin' long time is that you're not gonna knock it out of the park every time. One time an older Jewish manager-man came out of a cave and said to me, "What you guys do, you're doing as a career over a lifespan." Take Neil Young: he might make a couple of albums like Trans, which is a great album, but a lot of people didn't feel it at the time it came out. But then he comes back with Everybody's Rockin', and people loved that. |
| 2 | "Seven hundred bucks, but he asked for two thousand dollars. I thought it was kind of fly that he asked for $2000.00, and I bartered Bob Dylan down. That's my proudest sampling deal." - on the amount it cost him to obtaining a sample from the song "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" from music legend Bob Dylan to use in the Beastie Boys' song "Finger Lickin' Good". |
