“If you are not going to produce albums then you are not going to produce new fans. It’s impossible.”

Just how do I design if not with prototyping? An excellent question. The short answer is ‘on paper.’

Typography should not vary widely in an interface.

Ironically, the thing that will likely make the least improvement in the ease of use of software-based products is new technology.

When I was a teenager, that was when I fell in love with music. It affected me in a deep way. That’s why I love having teenagers at our shows.

It has also been said that the software industry is an example of midgets standing on the toes of other midgets.

Men do not greet one another like this … except perhaps at rugby club dinners.

I just like so many different kinds of music that I like experimenting. I don’t want to keep making the same record over and over and over.

As these machines leak into every corner of our lives, they will annoy us, infuriate us, and even kill a few of us.

To scenes by memory’s silver chain Close-linked, and ever yet apart, That like the vine, whose tendrils young Around some fostering branch have clung, Grown with its growth, as tho’ it sprung From one united heart.

In other words, humans have special instincts that tell them how to behave around other sentient beings.

Computer memories work in a manner alien to human memories. My memory lets me recognize the faces of my friends, whereas my own computer never even recognizes me.

Because computers have memories, we imagine that they must be something like our human memories, but that is simply not true.

It has been said that the great scientific disciplines are examples of giants standing on the shoulders of other giants.

Run for your lives-the computers are invading. Awesomely powerful computers tackling ever more important tasks with awkward, old-fashioned interfaces.

There is little difference technically between a complicated, confusing program and a simple, fun, and powerful product.

If we want users to like our software we should design it to behave like a likeable person: respectful, generous and helpful.

I like to perform every once in a while for people who want to see me, and cut albums of music that is what I’m really about.

I definitely have plans to do more collaboration albums in the future.

Stillmatic’ is the rebirth of ‘Illmatic,’ my first debut album to come out in 1994. ‘Stillmatic’ is me coming full circle in my career and with everything, and just bringing pure hip-hop back.

By the time I got to record my first album, I was 26, I didn’t need pen or paper – my memory had been trained just to listen to a song, think of the words, and lay them to tape.

My first album didn’t come out until I was 26.

Some people are attracted to vulnerability. From my very first album, I’ve been vulnerable. I’ve always given parts of me, parts of my life – good, bad, ugly. I’ve never put up this image as a super-thug. Also, some people just like the music.

The average rap life is two or three albums. You’re lucky to get to your second album in rap!

When I’m recording my album, I want to be acting, or when I’m on set, I want to be making music.
