I'm really not one of those deejays who go, 'I play music that I like.' I play it for the crowd. I believe that's what a deejay should do.

That's the whole part about being a deejay: You've got to make sure you are prepared. At the end of the day, you do have your genre - house music, dance music - but there are many different ways of playing that.

I try and have two to four days a month to just be at home.

I'm very close to my family but this life moves so fast. Coming off stage, you're so tired so forget to make the call or send the text. By then five days have gone by and you haven't spoken to your family.

The way it always starts with me making my music is I will never, ever start with the production first. It's always me at the piano, fresh on the day. I never come with anything prepared.

I used to follow artistes like David Guetta and Swedish House Mafia a lot before making a full fledged career in EDM... their music inspired me too much.

I got on a bit of a rollercoaster looking into how Herbie Hancock used to make his tunes, and I remember a picture of Jean-Michel Jarre at one of his concerts and seeing the Memorymoog. When I heard the sound it I was like, 'Arrrgh, I really need that.'

My first bit of gear was a Roland JV-1010 sound module. I used to hammer the hell out of that.

I've never had that boring office job. All my jobs were music related.

My family wasn't involved in music, but I love music.

I knew music was for me from an early age.

I kind of write in a very classic way. I sit in the piano, working on some catchy, cool melodies and coming up with song concepts for those melodies. I kind of write in a very traditional way '- how people have written since the early '40s.

The concept and vision of 'Electronic Nature' is to give my fans a fully immersive sensory experience of music, visuals and more.

People like Sam Smith and Adele, they're album artists but for me, where I go around the world and sounds are changing so quickly, singles are the best way to get those influences out there and try new things out.

The role of a DJ is being able to keep people on the floor for X amount of hours so you can't just push buttons to do that, you have to have good tracks and a knowledge of where to take people.

People like Little Mix... they've got a big lot of choreography that they need to do so it's difficult to sing and dance at the same time. I think if they've got to do a big performance with loads of visuals behind, they need to possibly mime at some point.

I listen to a lot of Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Britney Spears - the songs just stick in your head and that's what I want to achieve with my music.

I stay up night after night looking at new software, seeing new trends, what music's happening you know you've just got stay constantly connected and that's just something that I do and I think is really important.

The adrenaline is like nothing else. You might be tired or whatever else, but when you get on that stage and see people reacting there's nothing like it. It's a bit god-like - that feeling that nothing can feel better.

I always strive to make my music unique.

When I got to high school, to be playing an instrument was really uncool.

I'm a massive Justin Bieber fan. You've got be able to admit that.

A turntable is the classic DJ's weapon for playing vinyl, but the mixer is the device that actually allows you to blend multiple tracks together to create a mix.

There's benefits of having established artists on the record, Liam Payne on 'Polaroid' for example. If you look at that song you have Lennon Stella, who's an up-and-coming artist, so there's a balance on there because I still want people to focus on the song just as much as Liam being an amazing superstar.

It is a pleasure for me when 'Rise,' which many people loved, was covered by a famous group like IZ'ONE.

I spend too much time away from home. I love travelling, but we can be away for as much as four months during the winter.

My dad was a keen cricketer - he played at school and club level - but it was hard for him to find time for it because he was a farmer, so he encouraged me and my brother.

I love Rome and the way that you can wander around and find something interesting around every street corner. You can smell the history.

With new fast bowlers on the international circuit few and far between, it's always good to see someone new coming through.

It takes very little effort to make someone happy.

Flying my own small plane is my escape. I learnt to fly in 2006 and share ownership of a Socata TB10.

We don't cover too many draws in Test cricket and its great: it means the cricket is more interesting, more exciting.

In Test cricket, you have to be adaptable.

In any international sporting career an opportunity comes along that you have to grab. Mine came at Old Trafford in 1985 when I was recalled to the England team to face Australia. It was a huge chance to prove I belonged in the Test side but I failed to take it.

Bowling on English pitches is not rocket science. If you bowl a good length on off stump, the ball just has to do a fraction, up or down or side to side, and you get someone out.

When you are captain at the same time, that's when it gets difficult and when your own game starts to decay because you have other worries and pressures.

Any decent coach can make more than enough money just doing three or four T20 leagues.

I was a professional cricketer from 16.

Anybody can have a dip in form.

My relationship with my kids is the one sad area of my life.

I'm not much of a reader; I'm more of a laptop person. I would never consider travelling without it.

Without television, cricket would be a poorer place;the two have to coexist.

It's all you hear on a cricket field - 'Knock his head off, knock his head off.' Cricket has gone too far. It shouldn't be posturing, abusing.

There are times when it's difficult to see your wife and her ex-husband sitting next to each other chatting away.

Cruising on the old rice boats in Kerala, southern India, with my wife was amazing.

I played in Sri Lanka, so I know how hard it is to come here and win. The weather is baking hot and the conditions are alien to English cricketers.

Tillakaratne Dilshan is innovative and scores quickly, while Upul Tharanga is neat and well organised - and left handed.

The Twenty20 is itself a banal game, a crude game, but it works, so I hope Twenty20 commentary works.

Fairness matters.

A good commentator is someone who obviously people like listening to, who gets the blend between description, entertainment and accuracy of conveying the event right. If you can do that in an interesting way, you are a good commentator.
