BEST MOMENTS

“I think it's just important to believe in your own vision, and to lead with that.”

“I got the word patience tattooed on my arm just to remind myself, like, when things aren't going too well or I've had a setback, then it's just about trusting the process and I look down at my wrist and see that patience was tattooed on there for a reason when I was feeling optimistic.”

“It's not going to happen overnight. It takes 10,000 hours to be an overnight success. And you'll come from absolutely nowhere to most people, but little do they know you've been grafting at it for ten years.”

“There are so many setbacks in this industry. It's just. I just don't think it would be this industry without the setbacks and the moments of, what the hell am I doing?”

“I've always been really good at listening to my body. So as tempting as it is, you're out in Ibiza, you've just played a set, you've got friends there, or other dj's turn up....the tequila's out, everyone's just getting on it, and as tempting as it is to, like, stick around, have fun with all these incredible people, if I'm exhausted, I will have to just sacrifice that fun and say, I'm really sorry, guys, but I need to go back to my hotel and sleep.
