I actually only started listening to house music around the time I started making it. I got hooked both to making music and to house music.

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

I always just sit down at the piano and make the main hook—what I want the track to be about melodically—and then I’ll build everything else around that. But growing up, I did not play any instruments.

I love DJing, I do. I love everything that comes with it; it's fun and it's kind of glamorous.

It's hard - some people get inspired by a feeling, but I'm mostly inspired by melodies.

To me, I'm always trying to look for the energy, to imagine in being played on the dance floor. I guess that's the most important thing in making music for me.

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.
