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

There is always a point in the party where I wouldn't say I have people in the palm of my hands, but when there is a point in the evening... if you have been to any great party, you know when the whole room becomes one.

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 learned to trust women's ears when it comes to hearing music a lot more than other men.

I think women's ears are a lot more sensitive. Men are going to follow whatever appeals to women.

It's not easy staying relevant in the marketplace.
