Guidance is everything, you have to accept that somebody is their own person, an individual.

About 20 years ago, I had a dream in which somebody sang one of the most beautiful melodies I'd ever heard, and gave it to me, and warned me not to forget it. Of course, I did forget it by the time I had got out of bed. Now as precaution, my phone is overloaded with half sung melodies.

I wish I could do something else, I wish I was an amazing painter or a brain surgeon or something, but it's just what it's been.

One thing I always found hard to stomach over the past few years is that being a DJ or musician is a career opportunity.

If you can't frighten yourself, I don't think you can excite other people. And I like being frightened.

It's getting to the point where, to be honest with you, even though there is a lot of great music around, especially in clubland, certainly from my corner of something I just felt like I needed to get my hands dirty and DJ out.

Sometimes something has a value, it has an instant quality to it, and that's all it needs to be.
