If we are abandoned to Jesus we have no ends of our own to serve.

Never allow anything to divert you from your insight into Jesus Christ. It is the true test of whether you are spiritual or not. To be unspiritual means that other things have a growing fascination for you. Since mine eyes have looked on Jesus, I’ve lost sight of all beside, So enchained my spirit’s vision, Gazing on the Crucified.

Jesus Christ became Incarnate for one purpose, to make a way back to God that man might stand before Him as He was created to do, the friend and lover of God Himself.

The Cross did not happen to Jesus: He came on purpose for it. He is “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Anyone can be a DJ but it's understanding how to read a crowd and keeping them on the floor is what takes years of experience.

If I could stay in a dressing gown all day I would.

When I was seven years old I played the flute, then by 11 I quit being a musician and got into Djing.

It's definitely hard to have relationships. When your life moves so quickly, people generally want replies on messenger apps and sometimes I don't get back to people for two or three weeks.

I got into DJing because that was the coolest thing to do and I've never looked back.

I come from the streaming world, so the changing trend of consuming music that way is positive for me.

I'm a songwriter and producer, so I'm always wanting to make my own stuff, and not use anybody else's.

I was a bit of a hot head when I was younger so I used to burn a lot of bridges.

I've gone through a lot of 'nos' from record labels but I've built a great team along the way and that's the best thing you can have - people around you who believe in you and drive you forward.

It's great to see Latino music coming to the mainstream, but at the same time, there are also a lot more styles to explore: African music, Indian music, Chinese music.

It's the worst feeling, going into your record label when you haven't got a hit. It was like: 'Maybe you've lost it.' And, once you're done, that's it. There's no support, or anyone to help you.

I am always listening to new music and reading about music.

I've always worked from a young age and was never big on drinking or smoking, so whatever money I had I put into synths.

I've tried to write songs that just make people feel happy and good.

Well after 'Fast Car' was so huge, everyone was asking me, 'What's the next song?' At the time I just had ideas I was working on, but it was very clear I needed to finish another song ASAP, and that's how 'Perfect Strangers' came about.

There's a lot of amazing women out there. There's a lot of hot models. But models are the worst, because they're models, you have to always step up and always look good.

The concept of 'Blue' is to transport its listeners to a different world with music. And I chose to release a full-length album because it enables me to experiment with many different production styles, not just a single sound, and take listeners on a journey.

Even when I'm travelling - which is when I do most of my writing - I have a little portable keyboard.

Sometimes what makes a great song is that bittersweet combination - a really heartfelt song, whether good or bad, mixed with something that gets you going.

I think the best thing about performing as producer is to hear the fans sing along with your tunes.

A mixer for me needs to have some sort of effects, as it's a big part of how I might hype up the crowd in certain parts of a track, using the delays and filters for instance.

My weakness is women.

I think some people have this thing where just because you do singles that means you're not a real artist. It's like hold on a minute - I'm selling millions of records here and been streamed billions of times... How can I not be taken as a real artist just because these songs are singles?

I love the idea of Pro Tools, but it doesn't seem as attractive to me in terms of the music-making side. It's great for recording, but with Logic you get the best of both worlds, the ability to do great tracking and producing something that sounds great as well.

I've got a lot of girl mates. Especially when you come to Ibiza and you're an Ibiza DJ, everyone comes out and they want to see you.

I'm always up for collaborating with people who are slightly leftfield.

Obviously the music I listened to growing up helped create my musical pallet. My parents were into pop, soul, disco, RNB, Latin, jazz and Middle Eastern music.

At the age of 12, I got free pieces of software in a box of cereal which allowed me to make music, like really early demos, and then I just never looked back.

I hate mess. I have the worst OCD so I'm not a hoarder of clothes.

I like releasing singles because I can get them out there quickly and it's based on the changes, the sounds that are going on all around the world that I'm hearing and just a whole different bunch of influences which is sometimes hard to get across on an album because it can take a few months or a year to come along.

Definitely India is one place I'd love to travel to and play.

DJs are the new rock stars.

I was never in this for the money. It's all about the passion for the music.

Albums are great but for an artist like me, I don't think albums are the way to go.

At times, for sure, I do love a party. However, I do love going back to my room and putting on 'Only Fools And Horses' and having a cup of tea.

I don't sing. I'm the worst singer in the world!

I think when 'Perfect Strangers' landed and was so well received, it was a magic moment.

I've always wanted to collaborate with Shawn Mendes, he's an amazing artist, but the thing with Shawn is that I won't collaborate... me just sending some beats. It has to be in the studio where we'd both be there recording together.

I was a musician first of all.

I made Fast Car just in my spare time with no real hopes for it at all.

My mates are absolute nutters. They're all Essex boys in the true sense and they definitely keep my feet on the ground.

Abbey Road was actually one of the first studios I ever got the chance to go to. A friend of mine won a competition and got the chance to spend a day recording there - that's when I was around 15 - and I was the only one who could engineer out of all of us.

I've always wanted to be a star.

Before I hit any country I always do my research. I look at what's on the chart there, what's worked in the last few years. As a deejay, as a producer, that's when I get editing. I bring my own edits of tracks that are really cool and happening out there.

I played the Azteca Stadium in Mexico to 100,000 people - that's something I never thought I'd do.

I buy new white tees pretty much every week because they fade and I like them super fresh.
