I would never lay down a pre-programmed set and perform to a pre-mixed CD I would never cheat my fans like that.

More quotes by Avicii
When I started out, I was Avici with one i. But on MySpace, that name was taken.
Avicii
I always used to travel without a passport case, and because of it I think I'm four passports in. I bought this small Tumi case to protect my new one, and it works really well, not just for protecting it but also for keeping credit cards and small stuff. I just throw it in my bag when I'm traveling, as opposed to stuffed in my pocket.
Avicii
I make sure to use both Twitter and Facebook a lot which helps me connect to the fans.
Avicii
A lot of work and thinking goes into my DJing. I want the entire night to progress seamlessly and when I have to adapt the energy on the fly for the crowd on any given night, I can do so with harmonic mixes that Ive practiced over and over again. I am far from the only DJ that does this and its something I take pride in being able to do.
Avicii
I'm good at melody - I'll write the top-line melody and ideal words I want to go with it. But I'm not that good at writing lyrics. I bounce those back and forth with songwriters or someone who can sing.
Avicii
I always just sit down at the piano and make the main hook—what I want the track to be about melodically—and then I’ll build everything else around that. But growing up, I did not play any instruments.
Avicii
Life's a game made for everyone and love is the prize. So wake me up when it's all over - when I'm wiser and I'm older. All this time I was finding myself and I didn't know I was lost.
Avicii
When it comes to electronic music, I started listening to a lot of Daft Punk, way before I knew what house music was, and then progressed into a lot of Steve Angello, Eric Prydz, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Laidback Luke.
Avicii
My dad has always been a big Ray Charles fan, and I've grown up listening to all kinds of music.
Avicii
It's hard - some people get inspired by a feeling, but I'm mostly inspired by melodies.
Avicii
If I wanted to make a quick buck, there's far easier ways of doing it. What I want is to provoke people. If you want a hit song, all you need to do is rewrite an old song. It might have been proven to work, but you won't be remembered the same way.
Avicii
Dance music is like a virus, it has affected so many different genres.
Avicii
Obviously there is stuff that I wouldn't play in a club that I play at festivals, and vice-versa, but my sets are still dominated largely by my own music. I think that's what makes me stand out a bit. My music is also festival- and club-friendly, so it generally works out well.
Avicii
I have always been mainstream. It's so weird, because I don't see it as something negative at all. So many people see it as something negative.
Avicii
I'm a DJ. I get the party started.
Avicii
I think I am a pretty good judge of character in general and try to surround myself with the best people I can.
Avicii
To me, I'm always trying to look for the energy, to imagine in being played on the dance floor. I guess that's the most important thing in making music for me.
Avicii
I've tried plenty of telephones. I tried to get into the Samsung Galaxy and the Blackberry, but the iPhone is just too easy to use. The camera takes clear pictures and the phone itself looks great. Like all Apple products, it kind of just makes sense.
Avicii
