In the daytime, you act the way you should act because that is what people pay you for, or want from you.

In nightlife you can do anything you want, because that is the fantasy life, the opposite of your daily life. Everything - except violence - is tolerated. And that is why it is so surrealistic in a way.

I believe that the Belgians do possess some surrealistic gene.

I don't like to sit and count my money and be a "happy entrepreneur".

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.

I was born in Belgium and moved to Amsterdam when I was 17. I am not a Calvinist Dutchman but a Catholic Belgian. I think that makes a big difference.

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