When i think of the future, i think a lot of quincy jones and how he is an inspiration. look at the quality of his work over so many years. he didn't even make his best record, 'thriller,' until he was 50. that gives me something to look forward to. nothing pulls you back into the studio more than the belief that your best record is still ahead.

More From Dr. Dre

Quality doesn't mean deep blacks and whatever tonal range. that's not quality, that's a kind of quality. the pictures of robert frank might strike someone as being sloppy-the tone range isn't right and things like that-but they're far superior to the pictures of ansel adams with regard to quality, because the quality of ansel adams, if i may say so, is essentially the quality of a postcard. but the quality of robert frank is a quality that has something to do with what he's doing, what his mind is. it's not balancing out the sky to the sand and so forth. it's got to do with intention.

My whole life at a certain point was studio, hotel, stage, hotel, stage, studio, stage, hotel, studio, stage. i was expressing everything from my past, everything that i had experienced prior to that studio stage time, and it was like you have to go back to the well, in order to give someone something to drink. i felt like a cistern, dried up and like there was nothing more. and it was so beautiful.
Beautiful Past Order
My mother and i are more than best friends; we are partners in crime. after she and my father, quincy jones, separated when i was 10 years old, my sister, kidada, who was 12, went to live with our dad, and i stayed with my mother.

My earliest influence was quincy jones. i thought 'the wiz' soundtrack was the most amazing thing i'd ever heard. it was my first record and you had michael jackson, ted ross, nipsey russell and diana ross on it. i even took it to show and tell in third grade!

You know, quincy jones was a great mentor, but he was a man in a man's world. fortunately he's a very sensitive man and a beautiful human being, and even though he was 14 or 15 years older than me, he's a capable human being and has great communication skills.

I was looking for quincy jones, that's who i was obsessed with. watching mike [jackson], i always knew that i had to be a showman on stage, because when people come to you live you always want them to come back. you gotta give them something to remember.
