The minute you think you're greater than the music, you're finished

I refused to be disrespected. So, at 16, of course, I was a gentleman about it, but I told them and it cost me my job.

The lack of quality dance music and the fact that here in the United States, house music is not seen as anything viable by the music industry. I figured that this might be another shot at the industry looking at the possibilities of house music and giving it a little bit more legitimacy than what they give it. It's a host of different things, but it's something that I needed to say musically.

I think dancing is one of the best things anyone can do for themselves. And it doesn't cost anything.

I'm of the mind that your private life is private and you don't need to put everything out there about yourself - but on there, I describe myself as a citizen of the world, a man of music.

I believe it also says that I am a friend to everyone and enemy to no one.

I'm always looking for just the right song that has something to say.
