cool cooler finding happier love people
You're going to be way happier doing what you actually love and finding other people that love the same thing than doing something that other people love so you're just cooler and you have cool friends.
cool
I even have shoes that don't fit. They're just so cool, I wanted to have them.
buy cool people ticket
People buy a ticket to see your show, so from the moment I get onstage, I can have no insecurities, because they're already there. You have to get people to listen. If they listen, everything's cool.
cool lady stuff
I was thinking about working with Lady Gaga, not 'Born This Way' but more her old stuff that she did with RedOne from her first album. I think that would be really fun - a cool combination.
art car pieces
Cars for me are like a piece of art.
management remix
I actually did a remix for Katy Perry, and her management didn't respond.
reality people fake
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.
song art shoes
Every song, every form of art, clothing, shoes, it has to be special.
one-day maybe-one-day electronic-music
Maybe one day there will finally be an education for electronic music.
mom baby school
When I was a baby, my mom used to have a dance school, and she used to teach classes there. 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.
wall school unique
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. I love design and actually went to school for a bit for graphic design, so it isn't so much 'pressure' for me; it's a way to be creative, and I really enjoy it.
country nashville holland
Holland is to dance music what Nashville is to country.
successful people guy
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'm just a guy, doing okay. But I'm a happy guy doing okay.
mistake stupid world
One of the reasons why my album is called 'Forget the World' is because when you listen to the world, you make stupid mistakes.
