When someone walks into my room and goes 'wow' at my record collection, at that moment I could actually hate music and just want to go sit in the garden.

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.

I think I just want to make and be part of great records, because of what it brings to other people, what it gives back, is so incredible.

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

Instinct is the most powerful thing you have, and you have to trust it.

I love the idea that the person that signs you makes the record, because you get that sense of guidance, of being there at that close point.

Everyone is going to prang out at some point. I don't worry about that stuff too much because most things can be sorted out with a chat, a cup of tea and an arm wrestle.
