All the big artists I talk to say that they are trapped in a formula and they are looking for the music of tomorrow.

I wanna be a nice guy.

What most people want, I guess? I want the individual to know that if we unite, we are not powerless.

If I had to play only for people who liked the music because they heard it on the radio, it wouldn't make me happy. That's why I'm working so hard to have, yes, a profile as an artist, but also a profile as a DJ.

My routine is fly, play, sleep, record. My center is the music I am making; when I see people together wherever it is on the planet, that we connect, that's what keeps my heart beating.

I headline concert halls for 20,000 people, but I still play smaller venues.

It's nice because success has allowed me to have a blast on stage, to be in the studio with amazing people, but I find it all a bit bizarre.
