“I've always tried different stuff in the studio. I use rakes, spoons, ...” — Timbaland Quote

I've always tried different stuff in the studio. I use rakes, spoons, cans... I'm a surround-sound type of guy.

I don't have beef with nobody.

An artist don't make you bigger than life - being that person that can break artists can make you bigger than life.

I consider myself a composer.

My first love is producing.

There's a lot of guys who use their likeness - to do movies, and do other business stuff, but not too many guys are actually making product. I'm making product, it's a different thing. A lot of guys are holding up Coke cans and get paid a lot of money to do that, but no one's making a Coke can. I'm the guy that's trying to make the Coke can.

My sister and I are pretty dorky, so we drive around at night in her car listening to old Disney songs and feed the coyotes cans of wet cat food, which I'm sure is a terrible idea. Meanwhile, 'Cinderella' and 'Sleeping Beauty' showtunes are playing in the background.

Labels are for cans, not people.

For research, I like to go to the location of the places in the novels. The first thing that I do is involve my senses: I notice the smells; I open the trash cans and look at what people have thrown away.
