DJs are the new rock stars.

I love playing FIFA on my PlayStation!

No more hellfires and please no more gunfire.

I listen to all kinds of music, but I really like deep house.

I love suits, but onstage it's too hot. So, I like a nice T-shirt!

It will be great to have a fashion career during and after my DJ career.

I think I am example for our scene, so I have to be an example for the rest.

I got involved in 2003, 2004, with a company called Dance4Life out of Holland.

Sigur Ros make beautiful music. Bloc Party are fantastic and exciting and innovative.

I love to produce a track and then play it for the crowd; that's the biggest kick for me!

They say learning to love yourself, Is the first step, That you take when you want to be real...

There's nothing more frustrating than when you hear a track and you can never find out what it is.

Love comes again Just when I've broken down I found Love can come again You've got to believe that.

In the end of 2012 no one looks back on this year and remembers the nights they got plenty of sleep

If I were a girl, I always like Chanel. It's so stylish and timeless. So I like Karl Lagerfeld a lot.

There's an amazing intimate feeling in a small club but an insane rush playing a stadium or festival.

I integrate music from all over the world in my sets, harmony is what my music and life are built upon.

I love performing in the U.K. Everyone is always up for it and brings all their energy to the dance floor.

If you remix, people want to tap into your sound. If you keep that to yourself it makes the sound more special.

At the end of the '90s and into 2000, electronic music was still an underground phenomenon, especially in America.

I spend a lot of time talking to young and emerging producers on Twitter, feeding back thoughts and encouraging them.

It [our best show] was this year, the 7th of January in Eilat, Israel; 6,000 people in the desert going absolutely mad!

I like 'Elle' magazine. I love things online, like when all the big brands have a fashion show, I like to see the new collections.

Since I was a kid, I always felt the need to share the music I love with as many people as possible, and DJing seemed like the perfect outlet.

I was only interested in music, but I spent so much time in the clubs and seeing fashions change. So naturally, I developed an interest in it.

At first, I was only interested in music, but I spent so much time in the clubs and seeing fashions change. So naturally, I developed an interest in it.

Besides music and charity, fashion is one of my interests that has been growing over the past few years. I think it goes so hand in hand, music and fashion.

I heard 'Get Lucky'; it's just not my taste. It's great what Daft Punk does and the sound quality is great, but that whole disco vibe is not really my thing.

I was a huge 'Pyromania' fan. You would never expect it, but I was in love with Iron Maiden; I was such a huge fan. I went to a lot of rock stuff like Van Halen, too.

Whenever I made money I invested in myself... I bought whatever I needed to make my career better. I never really spent money on other stuff, like buying expensive cars.

Most of the time - at the Grammys for example - a DJ will perform with just their hands in the air because they can't do anything and that makes it a little awkward, I think.

My fans are crazy, but in a good way. Very supportive, and some tweet me more like a 100 times a day. As for tour tales, I have a saying: 'What happens on tour stays on tour.'

I like a challenge. I need to feel passionate about something. If I'm not passionate about it, I can't stand it. It has to feel real. DJ'ing, touring, charity work - anything.

I think I'm commercial underground. I'm not commercial in the way that people consider 'pop,' but I'm not underground in the way that people consider that. either. I am just a cool guy.

Trance is a very emotional and uplifting form of dance music. It appeals to many people in this way having such a strong connection with emotions. It makes people happy and ready to party.

Miami is a really special place for me, particularly in the U.S. It was one of the first places in the country to really embrace dance music, and I've been going there for many, many years.

A 'Magik' session is a journey through different stages of emotions and the 'Search for Sunrise' is more chilling music for when you come home after a party or when you are just about to go to one.

I have been DJing in clubs for years. I always dreamed to be a famous DJ in Holland. And now it's worldwide. You can't imagine. I mean, I still can't believe it myself that everything has gone so well.

It doesn't matter if they're famous or not - I just want to meet other creative people who can maybe bring something different to the studio than what I have. I think that's the most important thing for me.

When I design the clothes, I have a very good team around me, showing me different pieces and cuts. I'm very involved in the process, I go to L.A. and get onto the design floor, and I help pick out the best pieces.

A lot of DJs who started the same time as me, they are not to be seen anymore. And I get so much love and respect from the young DJs, and some of them look up to me or ask me for advice. I am almost like the mentor.

Most people went to dance shows, but it was basically a table and a DJ playing and not really a spectacular thing. I brought the whole production with the effects - the best sound, the best lighting to blow the fans away.

I think it would be different to work with a guy like Kanye West or Jay-Z, those guys are so phenomenal, but just to work with a rapper, I don't think is really my thing. I really like songs, like true songs. Like indie songs.

The 'Work Hard, Play Hard' video shows how much a part of music the fans can really be. With the help of SanDisk, we were able to create the first-ever music video to be made using fan videos shot only from their mobile phones.

The best clubs in the world are always the clubs where you have a variety of people. Like, you have the crazy people, you have the nicely dressed people, you have the office people, you have the regular guys - that makes it fun.

I was playing a gig in Greece in September 2003 and this guy walks up to me and says, 'Hey Tiesto I just heard you play; you're amazing. I want you to play at the opening ceremony of the Olympics.' I looked at him, like, 'Sure pal!'

I love L.A., but I don't live there. I spent some time there when I was recording 'Kaleidoscope,' mainly working with some of the artists I collaborated with. The city and people in L.A. have a great vibe and the weather is always beautiful.

If you play the same club every week of every month, it's kind of boring. It's great that you can play one night in Brazil and one night in Japan, one night in Europe, and see the world. It's amazing what you see if you travel around the world.

Growing up, Guess always had these amazing billboards and cool affordable clothing. I wore it then, and I still wear it now! It's come full-circle. When I design the clothes, I have a very good team around me, showing me different pieces and cuts.
