David Guetta Quotes

1. When you're too relaxed it's not good to create.


2. I am trying to walk a tightrope; trying to keep the DJ community happy while trying to spread the message about dance music to more people. That is the mission that I am on.

3. You know, kids come to see me in the same way that their parents would go to see a rock concert.

4. I don't do this for the money, I don't do it for record sales, I don't really care about that, I just want to make beats.


5. I'm totally not a nostalgic person. I always look to the future and as much as I've enjoyed the ride until now and the different phases, I'm more excited about the next music.

6. Everything I make as a producer, I visualize it as a DJ first. And all those beats, I test them as a DJ.

7. I have studios in the different places where I live - in Ibiza, Paris and London - but they're not crazy studios, they're just rooms with good monitors, and all I do is plug my laptop in. It's a different way to make music, but for me, I love it, because it's more connected to the world.

11. If I had to play only for people who liked the music because they heard it on the radio, it wouldn't make me happy. That's why I'm working so hard to have, yes, a profile as an artist, but also a profile as a DJ.


12. All the big artists I talk to say that they are trapped in a formula and they are looking for the music of tomorrow.

13. I'm not the type of person to live in fear. I think positively.

14. Everything I do comes from the clubs. If I lose that, I'm done.






15. Actually, because of new technologies, my full studio is on my laptop. And I have a little keyboard in my bag. I can make everything I do come from my laptop. Even when I go to a big studio, all I do is to plug in my laptops. That's they way I do it.
