When you come in the club, people are trying to get your attention, so they pull your hand. It's like, why are you pulling on me?

I don't know why people be in the club trying to be so cool. Standing around, trying to be cool. I don't get that. I just think everybody wanna be a star. That's why people don't dance.

Everybody likes the new guy. Being the new guy is cool. But then when you're there for a couple months, you're just the cool guy. I think I'm just the cool guy.

'Who Do You Love' was kinda cool to make. I just made the beat; I was self-determined to make beats at the time.

I was taught to work for what I wanted to achieve in life.

Kids don't come with instruction manuals. It's interesting, but after you have your kids, it's a blessing. It's not as hard as people may think it is.

I think Justin Bieber should let me executive produce his album.

Whatever energy you put out is what you're gonna get.

I don't really like listening to so much rap because I like to have my mind focused on what I'm doing instead of worrying about what everybody else is doing.

I like dressing in designer clothes, and it's hard to buy them if you are overweight. And I got tired of, like, going in the stores, and then it was like I couldn't fit in anything. And overall, I wanted to be healthy.

The past is always recycled. I'm just taking what the people I looked up to did and translating it for my generation.

I think my set is more so mixed in everything. It's not just EDM.

Apart from working on music, I'd rather play big festivals than almost anything else.

When we came out, they just labelled us 'ratchet music' cos we said 'ratchet' a lot. Ratchet means that's it's ghetto, but I would just call the music we're making just good music.

As long as you have a percentage of a song, that lasts forever. You have to study the business. Don't just be in it for money. You have to understand what you're in it for, then get your money.

Me and my little cousin DJ John John, we used to always be DJing in the house. We never took it seriously.

You can't complain about everybody that steals your sound. You'll be fighting for years trying to figure out how to make people not steal it.

I thought I was going to be YG's DJ forever. I didn't plan on producing; I just picked up producing and got good at it.

I'm not afraid of anything.

I could do beats with a million sounds, and I could do beats with two sounds. Which one is going to make the most sense, and which one is going to sell the most records? Most of the time, it's the simplicity.

Anytime anyone of my friends in my camp, if we argue, we gonna fight for real.

Now I have a business, artists to take care of. I want to make sure everything's going right, because at the end of the day, it's my name.

I actually care about my shows.

It's just dumb: how you can have the number 1 record in Los Angeles and not have the number 1 record in New York? It's crazy.

I don't want people to think that just because I do club records, I can't do an album record or an R&B single. I can do R&B, I do pop, I do whatever - but it's still Mustard.

I'm just real in-tune with music - I really listen to R&B more than I listen to rap.

Diplo is one of my homies.

I just wanted to do my own albums where nobody could tell me what to do. Roc Nation was the perfect fit because I could do what I wanted to do.

What I would tell young producers is if there is someone out there who can help you, then go work with that person.

Everybody knows YG is a turnt up dude that can't nobody control.

I started DJing when I was, like, 11.

I never want to get stuck in the box.

Don't just be a mystery to your kids. You need your kids to know you and know they can call you whenever they need you.

It means everything to be a father. I had a father growing up, so I wanted my kids to have a father as well.

My cousin went to jail, and I was like, 'I don't wanna spend my life in jail.' So I just started DJing, and that was my out.

When Drake sings, it makes everybody feel like they can sing. Not saying he's a bad singer - he's a good singer - but it just makes everybody feel like, 'If Drake can sing, I can sing, too.'

I've always had an ear for rocking a party. Just knowing what people like.

I used to live with YG.

I'm trying to work with as many people as possible.

Time repeats itself, so it's up to you to keep up with the curves of the music and keep reinventing yourself so you can be better than what you are.

I wanna be involved in everything, not just one thing.

'Ratchet' has a lot of meanings. You can be a bad ratchet or a good ratchet. You can have fun, be ghetto, and get ratchet.

I create my music so you can go to the club and have fun.

I don't want to be known for only making ratchet music.

Dark music always works in a club.

My goal is to be the Jay Z of DJing.

I just want people to hear my music and feel good, go to the club, dance, have fun, and get home safe... none of that gang-banging stuff.

You never know with me. I change my mind like I change my job. And I do that very often.

Anytime you throw claps back to back on a song, it makes everybody want to get up and have fun. It's a fun sound.

Sometimes you can do a million songs, and if they're not good, you're just wasting your time.
