"If you can steal without getting caught, then you've pulled off the perfect crime –– which is what an artist is supposed to do. You're not meant to come up with new things as an artist; no artist would say that's what they do. It's all about taking your influences and hopefully filtering them through a personal viewpoint."
–– Chilly Gonzales, stage-name for Jason Charles Beck, (b. 1972), Canadian musician, songwriter, producer.
