“People always say, ‘How is it to be so successful?’ I’m not successful yet. Richard Branson is successful. That’s successful. Michael Jackson was successful. U2 was successful.”

I studied psychology for a couple of years as a personal hobby, so you start learning about people and listening to your intuition, like when you you’re feeling that people are not being entirely straight with you.

I love what I do. Dance music is my passion, my life. There is no greater feeling than being one with my fans, partying to the music we love.

We didn’t have money for a babysitter, so she always brought me with her to the dancing school. Back then, I was already watching and listening to Michael Jackson for a long time.

That doesn’t happen with a lot of genres. If you go to a hip-hop club, it’s not like when one songs comes on that everyone suddenly loves each other.

I was lazy, though. I was always, like, sort of an outcast. And when I got home, I was always doing music, but when I was doing music, no one was there to judge it, you know?

My debut album, ‘Forget the World,’ is all about not listening to the negativity around you and to continue to do what you love, no matter what people think.

Maybe one day there will finally be an education for electronic music.

I think the most important thing about dance music is the connection.

Cars for me are like a piece of art.

When I was a baby, my mom used to have a dance school, and she used to teach classes there.

When you’re walking down the street or in the car just listening to the radio, and you’re, like , ‘Oh, that’s my song.’ You want to say, ‘Hey Mom!’ That never changes.

I have been fully involved in designing my stage shows; it’s important to me to do something really unique and almost off-the-wall to bring the music and the visuals together.

One of the reasons why my album is called ‘Forget the World’ is because when you listen to the world, you make stupid mistakes.

I’m just a guy, doing okay. But I’m a happy guy doing okay.

The only thing you can do to lead a crowd is prove your passion to them.

People need realness, reality. People can sense when someone is being pretentious or fake. It’s because you feel it; you see it in someone’s body language.

And I want to do it the right way, like everybody else, not just a famous figurehead that gets a job because he is a famous basketball player. I want to really learn the business.

I’ve never not been famous.

Everybody wants to be famous, but nobody wants to do the work.

I was the most famous kid in the United States. That was 1936.

Wanting to be an actor and wanting to be famous are different.

What I’ve said before, only half in joke, is that everybody in Ireland is famous. Or, maybe better, say everybody is familiar.

The result, I think, is pretty interesting … we don’t expect to make a fortune at it or ever be popular or famous or worshipped or hit The Ed Sullivan Show or the circuses or the big top.

I begged the universe to make me a famous comedian, and it did. So I tend not to ask for any more.
