The music is everything to me.

It's not easy staying relevant in the marketplace.

A friend of mine that happened to be a DJ at another club actually offered me a job [as a DJ]. I didn't think I could do it but he said, "You know all the music. You are at all the parties, and everybody knows you."

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.

When you create something out of nothing it's the most thrilling thing.

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