Growing up in Dumfries, I got no sun - I spent all my time in my room making records. When I came to America, it made me recognise the benefits of sunlight. Oh, and I also got a good haircut. I used to have a terrible haircut.

Growing up around British music, you realise how much depth there is to it... my stuff is different to the likes of Pitbull for that reason.

There are a lot of mindless moments in my tunes.

The trouble with making music as a job is that I have no outside interests. All I can do to wind down is go to sleep.

I contribute a large amount of money to the Southern Poverty Law Center, so I'm on their mailing list for all their Klan Watch newsletters. I'm very well aware of White Power movements in America.

No state, furthermore, unless it has aggressive military designs such as those which consumed Nazi leaders in the thirties, is likely to divert to defense any more of its resources and wealth and energy than seems necessary.

I've been dedicated to the proposition that there's been no greater wealth-creation system in the history of mankind than the American free-enterprise system.

I go, and I do my work, and I try to do the best I can, and I collect my money, and I go home, and then I go on to the next thing. That's my attitude.
