There are so many international musical connections here, in Amsterdam. And some of them are amazingly successful.

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 lower the ambient noise of your life and listen expectantly for those whispers of God, your ears will hear them. And when you follow their lead, your world will be rocked.

When you love fashion, there is no weekend. Everything just blends together.

Who can really be faithful in great things if he has not learned to be faithful in the things of daily life?

I've always really loved stories told from the point of view of children.

It's a simple solution. You change one thing, and suddenly you've changed everything.

The leafy blossoming present time springs from the whole past, remembered and unrememberable.

The elephant hath joints, but none for courtesy; his legs are legs for necessity, not for flexure.
