“In '92 - '93, I was at that age when I was looking for my identity and that's when I found dance music and I really fell in love with it.”

“I don't try to be someone I'm not - I've always followed my heart and trance has always been my main sound.”

“The government is a very large constructor. They have schools, colleges, hospitals and courts, offices. We are trying to influence the public works department to adopt green buildings.”

“When I have a family someday, I'll probably adopt. Adoption has always been something close to my heart. There are so many kids out there who really need a family.”
