हाउस म्यूजिक न काला है न गोरा। यह बस है। यह अच्छा महसूस कराता है और यह सही लगता है।
House Music isn't black or white. It just is. It feels good & it feels right.

जिस पल आपको लगने लगे कि आप संगीत से बड़े हो गए हैं, समझो आपका खेल खत्म।
The minute you think you're greater than the music, you're finished

मुझे लगता है कि नृत्य उन सबसे बेहतरीन चीजों में से एक है जो कोई भी अपने लिए कर सकता है। और इसमें कोई खर्च भी नहीं आता।
I think dancing is one of the best things anyone can do for themselves. And it doesn't cost anything.

जब आप शून्य से कुछ नया रचते हैं, तो वह सबसे रोमांचक अनुभव होता है।
When you create something out of nothing it's the most thrilling thing.

पार्टी में हमेशा एक ऐसा पल आता है, मैं यह तो नहीं कहूँगा कि सब मेरे इशारों पर नाचते हैं, लेकिन अगर आप किसी बेहतरीन पार्टी में गए हैं, तो आप जानते हैं कि वह पल कौन सा होता है जब पूरी महफिल एक हो जाती है।
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.

मैं हमेशा एक ऐसे सही गाने की तलाश में रहता हूँ जिसमें कहने के लिए कुछ खास हो।
I'm always looking for just the right song that has something to say.

मेरे लिए संगीत ही सब कुछ है।
The music is everything to me.

मैंने सीखा है कि संगीत को समझने के मामले में महिलाओं की परख पर पुरुषों की तुलना में कहीं अधिक भरोसा किया जा सकता है।
I learned to trust women's ears when it comes to hearing music a lot more than other men.

मैं निश्चित रूप से सही जगह पर हूँ और सही काम कर रहा हूँ। यही मेरी असली कमाई है।
I am definitely in the right place doing the right thing. These are the rewards.

मुझे लगता है कि इस क्षेत्र के बाकी लोगों की तुलना में मैं संगीत के प्रति कहीं अधिक संवेदनशील हूँ। उनमें से ज्यादातर लोग सिर्फ बीट्स और शोर के दीवाने हैं। मैं धुन और संगीत को ज्यादा अहमियत देता हूँ।
I'm a lot more sensitive about music, I think, than most other guys in this particular side of the business. Most of them are beat crazy and beat heavy. I'm more melody. I'm more musical than most of the other ones.

सही समय ही सब कुछ है। यह इस बात पर निर्भर नहीं करता कि आप किसे जानते हैं, खासकर आज के इंटरनेट के दौर में, जहाँ कोई भी रातों-रात सुपरस्टार बन सकता है।
Timing is everything. It is not so much about who you know, especially now with the Internet, because anybody can become a superstar overnight.

तकनीक ने बहुत कुछ बदल दिया है, जिससे लगभग हर कोई संगीत बना सकता है। लेकिन हर कोई गीतकार नहीं होता, और यही बात मुझे उन अन्य डीजे से बिल्कुल अलग बनाती है जो सिर्फ ट्रैक बनाते हैं। मैं सिर्फ ट्रैक तक सीमित नहीं रहता, मैं पूरे गाने को एक मुकम्मल रूप देने की कोशिश करता हूँ। इस स्तर पर काम करने ने मुझे एक अलग ही मुकाम पर पहुँचा दिया है।
Well technology has changed a lot of things, making it possible for just about anyone to make music. But not everybody is a songwriter, so that puts me in a completely different ballpark than the other DJs out here that are writing and producing tracks. I don't stop at tracks, I try to complete the whole package with the song. So working at that level has put me in a completely different place.

मुझे लगता है कि महिलाओं की सुनने की क्षमता कहीं अधिक संवेदनशील होती है। पुरुष हमेशा उसी चीज़ के पीछे भागते हैं जो महिलाओं को पसंद आती है।
I think women's ears are a lot more sensitive. Men are going to follow whatever appeals to women.

बाज़ार में अपनी प्रासंगिकता बनाए रखना आसान नहीं है।
It's not easy staying relevant in the marketplace.

मैंने अपमान सहने से इनकार कर दिया था। इसलिए, 16 साल की उम्र में, मैंने शालीनता से लेकिन स्पष्ट शब्दों में अपनी बात कह दी, जिसके कारण मुझे अपनी नौकरी गंवानी पड़ी।
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.

मैंने कई बेहतरीन लोगों के साथ काम किया है। मेरी पार्टनर और मैनेजर जूडी वेनस्टीन ने मुझे और [डेविड] मोरालेस को एक बात सिखाई थी कि नाम कमाने से पहले काम की गुणवत्ता पर ध्यान देना ज़रूरी है।
I have worked with a lot of different great people. One of the things my partner, my manager Judy Weinstein, instilled in [David] Morales and myself is that the quality goes in before the name goes home.

मेरा मानना है कि यह इस बात का प्रमाण है कि मैं हर किसी का दोस्त हूँ और किसी का दुश्मन नहीं।
I believe it also says that I am a friend to everyone and enemy to no one.

मेरा मानना है कि आपकी निजी ज़िंदगी निजी होनी चाहिए और आपको सब कुछ जगज़ाहिर करने की ज़रूरत नहीं है - लेकिन वहाँ, मैं खुद को दुनिया का एक नागरिक और संगीत का इंसान मानता हूँ।
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.

ऐसे दो लोग हैं जिन्होंने मुझे बाकी सभी कलाकारों से कहीं ज़्यादा प्रभावित किया है: निक एशफोर्ड और वैलेरी सिम्पसन।
There are two people that probably influenced me more than anybody out of all the artists out here: that's Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson.

अच्छी डांस म्यूज़िक की कमी और यह हकीकत कि अमेरिका में म्यूज़िक इंडस्ट्री हाउस म्यूज़िक को कोई खास अहमियत नहीं देती। मैंने सोचा कि शायद यह इंडस्ट्री को हाउस म्यूज़िक की संभावनाओं को देखने और उसे वह सम्मान देने का एक और मौका हो सकता है, जो वे अभी नहीं देते। यह कई कारणों का मिश्रण है, लेकिन यह कुछ ऐसा था जिसे मुझे संगीत के ज़रिए कहना ही था।
The lack of quality dance music and the fact that here in the United States, house music is not seen as anything viable by the music industry. I figured that this might be another shot at the industry looking at the possibilities of house music and giving it a little bit more legitimacy than what they give it. It's a host of different things, but it's something that I needed to say musically.

जब मैं बहुत छोटा था, तो खुद से कहता था कि मैं एक दिन 32 साल का होकर भी रिकॉर्ड्स नहीं बजाऊंगा। ऐसा तो बिल्कुल नहीं होगा। खैर, किस्मत का मज़ाक देखिए, मैं अब 56 साल का हूँ।
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.

मेरे एक दोस्त ने, जो दूसरे क्लब में डीजे था, मुझे [डीजे के तौर पर] काम करने का मौका दिया। मुझे नहीं लगा कि मैं यह कर पाऊंगा, लेकिन उसने कहा, "तुम सारा संगीत जानते हो। तुम हर पार्टी में होते हो और हर कोई तुम्हें जानता है।"
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."

हाई स्कूल में मुझे जो पहली नौकरी मिली, वह न्यूयॉर्क के एक डिपार्टमेंट स्टोर में थी। मैं स्टॉक रूम में काम करता था। तभी मुझे समझ आया कि मैं किसी और के लिए काम नहीं कर सकता, क्योंकि वहाँ मुझसे जिस तरह बात की गई, वैसी बात घर पर कभी नहीं हुई थी।
The first job I got when I was in high school was working for a department store in New York. I worked in the stockroom. That's when I learned that I couldn't work for anyone else, because I was spoken to in a way that I wasn't spoken to at home.
