I wanted to just recreate it in my own way, like how I heard it. J Dilla Read Quote
Variety has always been in my mind: to do something totally different. I’ve had a parallel career since the beginning. On one track, the TV and film, the other, theatre, but they never crossed. Sylvester McCoy Read Quote
