I never thought electronic music would get as popular in America as it has. When I first came to Vegas in 2009 for my residency - we were they only people playing electronic music at that time.

I wish I had a great relationship with my mother.

There is no stillness like the quiet of the first cold nights in the fall.

This branch of mathematics [Probability] is the only one, I believe, in which good writers frequently get results which are entirely erroneous.
