In hip hop, it’s a lot more about lacing a hot track. I start it, I help mix it, I help write it, I help produce it, I cut the person’s vocals. I’m involved from the beginning to the end of a song. I’m not just giving someone a beat, you know?
I don’t want to mix my work and personal life. They should be kept separate.
New clothes are a great way to deal after a breakup. A good mix CD also helps you get through it and… you know, 72 hours of ice cream.

I work out two or three times a week, whether it be a run or a workout class, a hike… I really try and mix it up a little bit so that it keeps me interested. I have a gym in my house, so if all else fails, I’ll get on the running machine and book a movie or some crappy reality TV and just zone out.
As the property market is very steep right now I think people should invest their capital in a mix of equity and debt instruments, through reputed mutual funds and maybe some in gold and silver. Regular savings are very very important.

Nuclear power is cost-competitive with other low-carbon technology and is a crucial part of our energy mix, along with new sources of power such as shale gas.
Some of the best art in the world is collaborative, a mix of voices that are stronger together than separate. Take the Beatles, for example. Or every great movie ever made.

As far I’m concerned, being an adult is way more fun than being a kid. But then I was a kid who wanted to be an adult. I’d watch shows like ‘Bewitched’ and see Darren come home and mix a martini and I’d go, ‘That looks awesome! I want to do that!’
I want to expand my horizons and mix with different people.
My wife Gwenaelle prepares an ‘energy shot’ for me for breakfast. It’s a mix of linseed, cereal, and raisins, with fresh fruit like kiwi. She also adds yogurt for added texture and some pollen and honey for an energy booster.

Breakfast is Special K cereal. If I’m having a big meal, it’s lunch instead of dinner. Some kind of wrap, like chicken for protein. For dinner, mainly vegetables. I mix it up if I go out to eat.
In my movie work, if I do one guy, the next guy I do, I want to do something kind of different. Even in terms of genre – it’s really great to mix it up a little.

It truly amazes me all the things you can add and mix in to truly transform a plain old bowl of oatmeal.
I should have lived through the ’80s, not been born in it. My style is a mix of hip-hop and ’80s casual.
My favorite thing about decorating is mixing different periods and styles. If you have something that’s old, and you really do want to mix those styles, then you have to add something that’s obviously modern with it. You can’t put a kind of a mediocre thing in the middle.
You can’t be serious all the time. You got to mix it up.
People feel I don’t mix much, but I’m working at it.
I use a wide selection of colours. It is impossible to produce work like mine using only the primary colours as they only mix a certain range of colour.

I do a lot of juicing. I don’t put a lot of food in my stomach, and I don’t mix my foods too much. So if I want to have, like, protein, I’ll just eat a bowl of lentils; I won’t mix it with a bunch of stuff.
I took a lot of long summer road trips with my dad, and the mix of music we listened to on the road skipped around from classical to Western to new age to hyper-cinematic.

Layering is always a great way to look different and to keep your look younger. Basic tees, vest tops, jackets, leggings, shrugs, etc, can be mixed up to add spunk, variety and colour to your look. A good sense of mix ‘n’ match is required to make this look work.
During the week it isn’t always easy to sit down together and I am usually in a rush to get everyone off to school. A bowl of cereal and milk with fruit is perfect because it’s quick and easy. I like to mix it up on the weekends when we can all relax in our pajamas.
