“The thing I love about car design is that it's sculpture everybody appreciates, everybody has access to.”

“People such as Hunter S. Thompson and the Beats were a huge influence on me, not just in what they were saying, but how they said it.”

“I want to show people how fun Quan can sound on a variety of different beats.”

“When I first decided I wanted to make beats and write songs and stuff like that, it wasn't like I sat down and the first thing I wrote was even halfway legit. It took a while to find my way through it.”
