Fun is the main thing. Because fun helps you transmit your message. You can only do that - transmit - when people are receptive.

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.

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.

Smile generously at others and you may find that their smiles are returned right back to you.

The only cure for grief is action.

Prayer for worldly goods is worse than fruitless but prayer for strength of soul is that passion of the soul which catches the gift it seeks.

I was a government employee in the morning and a writer in the evening.

A thousand people will stop smoking today. Their funerals will be held sometime in the next three or four days.

One would think that man would run out of wars.

A lot has been said about politics; some of it complimentary, but most of it accurate

I can't eat chicken and look at strippers at the same time.

The mask is torn off, while the reality remains

Let the path be open to talent.
