The industry has always had a problem with the 18-to-25 market, but EDM is perfect - a unique identifier for a group in that mental and fiscal state; in their youth, but free to do whatever they want. We filled that void.

I do this sort of thing where, even for my own shows, I like to supply my own fingerprint of creativity. Not just ideas, technical things: offering model data, creating visuals for my stage show myself, babysitting renders, learning that technology as I go. That's what makes me feel like an artist.

If I had a nickel for every time someone asked, 'When are you doing an album?' My career is way too transparent to do say, 'Guess what - I've got 16 tracks you've never heard!'

I don't think anyone's career is so big that they can't know where their major synchs are or where their publishing is going.

He is the true enchanter, whose spell operates, not upon the senses, but upon the imagination and the heart.

Instead of a passion for the Yankees or fly-fishing or birding, I want to pass on to my sons a love of books, music, and art. I accept that this is partly about the gratification of my own ego, but it's also one of the only ways I know of making a rich life. That's what we all want for our progeny.

Anyone who has an imagination can write a book - it's cheap to do - but movies are big money.

Art, whatever form it takes, requires hard work, craftsmanship and creativity. As a writer, I know my grammar, cadence, the music of prose, and the art of the narrative.
