I think that is a great, great thing, to create your own identity and foster a true family spirit.

In nightlife you can become a star, while in the daytime you can just be a nobody.

For me nightlife is like everyday life's mirror.

Amsterdam is not Holland. It is a city that attracts people from all over Holland. And lots of international tourists and party people.

A scene can be created when people are coming together. Either to shop or to hang out.

Of course I knew disco and dub from years before but I never heard such a radical new sound like house. It blew my mind!

Sometimes I happen to be the right guy in the right spot at the right moment.

I don't like cliques. I used to go out a lot in London with friends. And London can be very cliquey. I mean if you don't belong to one set you don't go to a particular party.

Dance music is one of the biggest export products in the Dutch economy these days.

If you can make something genuine, then the ground is fertile for introducing something new. And that happened a few times in my life where I could sow the seeds and see something grow out of it.

That's the main thing. People have to feel it's real. If they feel there's something commercial or some fake thing behind it, then the feeling is definitely different.

The world is but a canvas for our imagination

I was born to travel and write verse.

I realized... that the artist is always alone. Early in life I had thought I needed other people to confirm or approve what I was doing.

I don't like to think that I'm on a treadmill of album, tour, promotion and all that.

The small town smart set is deadly serious about its smartness.

TV is the rat race of the century.

Any unarmed people are slaves, or are subject to slavery at any given moment.

If it weren't for fear, I wouldn't have to teach you a damn thing

Doth perfect beauty stand in need of praise at all? Nay; no more than law, no more than truth, no more than loving kindness, nor than modesty.

I'm tired of being treated like a second-class citizen.
