Making dance music is a spiritual thing. It's about being completely absorbed by rhythm and vibration, so much so that the petty stuff of life stops mattering.

The rhythm of the dance lies in the music.

Now I am going to reveal to you something which is very pure, a totally white thought. It is always in my heart; it blooms at each of my steps... The Dance is love, it is only love, it alone, and that is enough... I, then, it is amorously that I dance: to poems, to music but now I would like to no longer dance to anything but the rhythm of my soul.

There's only so much you can do with a male voice in dance music.

I grew up in an international school community my whole life, and my national identity is very confused, so I grew up listening to music from all around the world.

The producers and writers of dance music are becoming the stars, not so much the DJs.
