Dr. Dre

I don't even listen to the records after they come out. It's outlawed in my house. My wife and my kids can't play any of my music around me. Once it comes out, for me, it's just business. Numbers. ”

The actual making of a record is the most exciting part of this business. ”

Kids are the ultimate form of motivation. They're watching. They're mimicking. They're an extension of you. So you have to win. ”

The race factor was just a minuscule part of what I was doing with Eminem. It was really about the music and how well we worked together. ”

I know sound, and this is what I'm going to stick to: what I know. ”

Everything that I do is for sound goals. It comes from my gut. When I'm sitting in the studio, a mix isn't done till I feel it in my gut. ”

Anyone that's trying to do something to improve sound... that's all good. ”

I've sold a lot of records. Did I keep other artists from eating? ”

People are always coming up to me, thinking I've got some magic wand that can make them a star and I want to tell them that no one can do that. Making hit records is not that easy. But it took me time to realize that myself. ”

It's entertaining to watch somebody break my music down or explain what he thinks I was thinking during the process of making these records. Because... he has no idea. ”
