The thing to do, it seems to me, is to prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in somebody else‘s cloud. Somebody who may not look like you.

I think it’s difficult to say what exactly made me become a successful DJ. It depends on so many different things. If I were given an award, I would thank my family, friends, Tiesto and the great team behind me for all their support and hard work. Without them, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

Why should I care about posterity? What’s posterity ever done for me?
God gave me life to continue to do things that I would never have done.

A girl phoned me the other day and said… ‘Come on over, there’s nobody home.’ I went over. Nobody was home.
For me, I think one of the biggest battles is mentally. You have good days, and you have bad days.

Why is this so hard?’

Give me love and work – these two only.
I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
I don’t set out to win awards. I don’t think any musician does, but when you receive an award, it’s an affirmation: it means that people appreciate what you do. Every award I have received is a confirmation of something I have done, and that motivates me to push a little harder.
I detest jokes – when somebody tells me one, I feel my IQ dropping; the brain cells start to disappear. But something is funny when the person delivering the line doesn’t know it’s funny or doesn’t treat it as a joke. Maybe it comes from a place of truth, or it’s a sort of rage against society.

Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.
Your words are my food, your breath my wine. You are everything to me.

Summer afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.

So many times, people told me I can’t do this or can’t do that. My nature is that I don’t listen very well. I’m very determined, and I believe in myself. My parents brought me up that way. Thank God for that. I don’t let anything stand in my way.

Water for me is so essential, like swimming.

The most important decision I’ve made in business? The choices of people I have around me. When I first started I brought everybody with me, my homies from the neighborhood, criminals. I just said, ‘Come on everybody, we made it.’ Then I had to realize we didn’t make it. I made it.
My philosophy is it’s none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am, and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.
Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.
Business is war. I go out there, I want to kill the competitors. I want to make their lives miserable. I want to steal their market share. I want them to fear me and I want everyone on my team thinking we’re going to win.
As a child of God, I am greater than anything that can happen to me.
Quality is everything to me, and I perfect everything I do.

The hardships that I encountered in the past will help me succeed in the future.
It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.

I am going to stop calling you a white man and I’m going to ask you to stop calling me a black man.

I never learned from a man who agreed with me.
I know my flaws before other people point them out to me.
Do you love me because I’m beautiful, or am I beautiful because you love me?
I want to be judged by who I am, not what I am. I mean, I am Johnny Weir. Judge me the way you see me, love me the way you see me, hate me the way you see me.
A lot of people know me, but they don’t know me well.
I’m lucky to be part of a team who help to make me look good, and they deserve as much of the credit for my success as I do for the hard work we have all put in on the training ground.

They can put me in a jungle. Still, I can create.

I’m a mirror. If you’re cool with me, I’m cool with you, and the exchange starts. What you see is what you reflect. If you don’t like what you see, then you’ve done something. If I’m standoffish, that’s because you are.
You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
In me the tiger sniffs the rose.
Great and glorious God, and Thou Lord Jesus, I pray you shed abroad your light in the darkness of my mind. Be found of me, Lord, so that in all things I may act only in accordance with Thy holy will.
