I like a challenge. I need to feel passionate about something. If I'm not passionate about it, I can't stand it. It has to feel real. DJ'ing, touring, charity work - anything.

I love playing FIFA on my PlayStation!
Tiesto
I saw a DJ from Germany called Sven Vath. I saw him in the club, he played for six hours and I was just totally intrigued, because everything he played I'd never heard before and everything he did I'd never seen before. I was so blown away by what he did.
Tiesto
You have to be open-minded, because it's so diverse nowadays. I used to be a deep trance DJ, and now I've transformed into something eclectic. So you can expect any kind of music, from house to electro to indie-rock to techno and trance. I have very wide musical tastes nowadays.
Tiesto
I've always wanted to be a DJ so I could play the music I love for other people. That feeling hasn't changed, but my sets are always evolving. In terms of tailoring to a specific crowd, certainly I do play differently depending on the situation. It's a different feel, for example, in a small club versus a festival.
Tiesto
I think trance music is the only music you can listen to without taking drugs. You can really feel the emotions in it. You can get on another level without the drugs. If you listen to techno, it's so monotone that you really need drugs to enjoy it.
Tiesto
Sigur Ros make beautiful music. Bloc Party are fantastic and exciting and innovative.
Tiesto
I have been DJing in clubs for years. I always dreamed to be a famous DJ in Holland. And now it's worldwide. You can't imagine. I mean, I still can't believe it myself that everything has gone so well.
Tiesto
I love L.A., but I don't live there. I spent some time there when I was recording 'Kaleidoscope,' mainly working with some of the artists I collaborated with. The city and people in L.A. have a great vibe and the weather is always beautiful.
Tiesto
At the end of the '90s and into 2000, electronic music was still an underground phenomenon, especially in America.
Tiesto
I am honored to be to be part of the biggest sports event in the world. The fact that the Games are returning to their birthplace and to the city where they were revived makes Athens 2004 very special. The opportunity to perform my music for billions of people around the globe will be the greatest highlight of my life.
Tiesto
In the end of 2012 no one looks back on this year and remembers the nights they got plenty of sleep
Tiesto
No more hellfires and please no more gunfire.
Tiesto
It doesn't matter if they're famous or not - I just want to meet other creative people who can maybe bring something different to the studio than what I have. I think that's the most important thing for me.
Tiesto
I listen to all kinds of music, but I really like deep house.
Tiesto
I like 'Elle' magazine. I love things online, like when all the big brands have a fashion show, I like to see the new collections.
Tiesto
A 'Magik' session is a journey through different stages of emotions and the 'Search for Sunrise' is more chilling music for when you come home after a party or when you are just about to go to one.
Tiesto
I integrate music from all over the world in my sets, harmony is what my music and life are built upon.
Tiesto
It [our best show] was this year, the 7th of January in Eilat, Israel 6,000 people in the desert going absolutely mad!
Tiesto
They say learning to love yourself, Is the first step, That you take when you want to be real...

I spend a lot of time talking to young and emerging producers on Twitter, feeding back thoughts and encouraging them.
