I always like to remain a fan, put it that way: and I like to hold the idealised version of what these artists are like. Greed is one of those components of human nature that's inherent in everyone, and sometimes it is an unpleasant thing to engage in.

I personally feel the need to experience life and new music and ideas before I can sit down and start writing music again.

I realized that people don't quite understand what I do when I was the new kid on the block and a lot of Hollywood was offering me fairly cheesy projects.

I would agree with you that there's 90% imitation and 10% innovation. That's true of any genre.

I tend to gravitate away from the more trendy Ibiza style of dance music. It's not me.

I was asked to do TV ads for Macintosh. Nowadays, I think anybody would jump at that but, at the time, it didn't feel appropriate for what I was trying to stand for.

If I have a chance to positively impact how the populace views DJs, then I'm going to try to do my part to nudge things in the right direction.
