Being yourself is what will make you survive through anything. If you make music to please someone, it's the first step in the wrong direction. Always do what you believe in, no matter what people say. Only way to go!

A DJ can't just play one song. It's about playing a set, or how you connect songs in those two hours, and where you place them.

Music is its own language - if you don't speak it, it's hard to say what you're trying to do.

Whenever I'm in the U.K., people say I have an American accent. Which is, obviously, funny.

I always take care to have interesting chord progressions, because you can have the best sound design in the club, and you'll kill it in the club, but in five years, kids will have better sound design. But if your music is good, you'll always be able to listen to it, even in 20 or 50 years.

I love silence. But I usually only listen to that when I'm sleeping.
