The average life expectancy of a celebrity is 20 years less than someone working in a coal mine.

The most emotional part is when I go into my studio every day and pretty much never have an idea of what's gonna happen.

When playing big festivals, I tend to play big, over the top techno tracks, like hands in the air songs that make sense being played in front of 30,000 people. I steer away from subtlety in the interests of big bombastic dance music.

I'm sure most people have this experience: when you're young you drink, you do drugs, you stay up late, and there are no consequences.

There are a lot of public figures who, before they take a stand on a issue, they talk about it with their publicist and they figure out how it's going to affect record sales. Life is really too short to worry about that sort of thing.

Old people go to the polls because they can't get erections, young people stay home, do drugs and have sex.

I have no patience for anyone who thinks they've figured things out, no patience for people who think they're right at the expense of everyone else. The world is too connected and too complicated to conform to any of our rigid ideas of what it should be like.
