In your daytime life you have to be more strict.

When you hear the music of these celebrated Dutch superstar-DJs nowadays... my God, I wouldn't even feed their music to my dog. I don't consider that to be my sort of dance music.

Amsterdam is not Holland. It is a city that attracts people from all over Holland. And lots of international tourists and party people.

Dance music is one of the biggest export products in the Dutch economy these days.

In nightlife you can become a star, while in the daytime you can just be a nobody.

Even nowadays some people see me as a "vreemde eend in de bijt" [translated literally as the strange duck in the pond. In other words, an outsider].

That's the main thing. People have to feel it's real. If they feel there's something commercial or some fake thing behind it, then the feeling is definitely different.
