When it comes to electronic music, I started listening to a lot of Daft Punk, way before I knew what house music was, and then progressed into a lot of Steve Angello, Eric Prydz, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Laidback Luke.

I would never lay down a pre-programmed set and perform to a pre-mixed CD; I would never cheat my fans like that.

There's always haters, no matter what you're doing - whether they're complaining that everything you do sounds the same, or it's too different.

I have always been mainstream. It's so weird, because I don't see it as something negative at all. So many people see it as something negative.

People in Sweden are very conscious of what people are saying about you.

I always used to travel without a passport case, and because of it I think I'm four passports in. I bought this small Tumi case to protect my new one, and it works really well, not just for protecting it but also for keeping credit cards and small stuff. I just throw it in my bag when I'm traveling, as opposed to stuffed in my pocket.

I think I am a pretty good judge of character in general and try to surround myself with the best people I can.
