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

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.

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.

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.

Nothing in my life has ever felt so good, yet hurt so achingly bad.

As I tell my children, 'If you are going to do something, do your best while you're doing it.

The lack of access to proper nutrition is not only fueling obesity, it is leading to food insecurity and hunger among our children.

Guilt is a weird thing to me. I don't have a lot of it.

If you want to know, life is the principle of self-renewal, it is constantly renewing and remaking and changing and transfiguring itself.

I have faith in human beings. I struggle with that faith.

The Queen has been guillotined, accused of crimes beyond imagining. Last night she appeared to me in a dream, handing me her head.

An industry begins with the customer and his or her needs, not with a patent, a raw material, or a selling skill

I'm focused on what I'm doing and nothing can stop that.
