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.

Timing is everything. It is not so much about who you know, especially now with the Internet, because anybody can become a superstar overnight.

I used to tell myself when I was much younger that I didn't want to wake up one day and be 32 years old and still playing records. It's just not going to happen. Well, the joke is on me, because I'm 56 years old now.

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."

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

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.
