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.

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.

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.

That has always been my biggest ambition. To bring people together. To achieve a family spirit. Because then, you can actually do anything, because people are open to what they feel is real.

I believe in the 20/80 rule. That's where working an extra 20% faster, harder, or smarter gets you an extra 80% of the rewards.

There is no honour in betraying your friends.

For the achiever the battle with critics is a slow war of attrition. Let time do the dirty work for you.

There are in life real evils enough, and it is folly to afflict ourselves with imaginary ones; it is time enough when the real ones arrive.

Maybe there really isn't any such thing as mortality; life simply wears us out with love.

We're not responsible for the bustling and hustling that may go on here. Lots of people bustle, and some hustle. But that's their business, and a very old one.

There are now some mountains that my brain can no longer climb.

Seems like there's always someone who disapproves. They'll judge it like they know about me and you.

My answer to your question'Does the writer have a social responsibility?' is NO.You owe me ten cents, sir.

It looks to me like the candidates are trying to relieve the farmer of his vote, instead of his debts.
