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 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.

If I wanted to make a quick buck, there's far easier ways of doing it. What I want is to provoke people. If you want a hit song, all you need to do is rewrite an old song. It might have been proven to work, but you won't be remembered the same way.

Life's a game made for everyone, and love is the prize.

When I started out, I was Avici with one i. But on MySpace, that name was taken.

I make sure to use both Twitter and Facebook a lot which helps me connect to the fans.

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