My policy has always been to play new music. New beat, industrial, techno, disco, funk, rare groove and house music.

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.

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.

A friend is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.

Hail Caesar those who are about to die salute thee.

For me, President Obama is our best choice because he has a vision of the United States as a place where we are all in this together.

Comes over one an absolute necessity to move. And what is more, to move in some particular direction. A double necessity then: to get on the move, and to know whither.

I come home with an honestly earned feeling that something good has taken place. It makes no difference whether I got anything; it has to do with how the day was spent.

That was the worst part about losing someone-finding a place to store all the thoughts and feelings you'd otherwise share with them.

Just because I have a guitar, it doesn't mean that changes me. I still rhyme, I still sing.

I prefer people who rock the boat to people who jump out

If you don't have outstanding relief pitching, you might as well piss on the fire and call the dogs.
