The orchestral or symphonic music never interested me.

When I'm flying, I really like to listen to piano music. Something impressionistic, loud and beautiful. Flying can be such a claustrophobic experience, it's nice to open that up a bit with music.

Sometimes I feel like a melody doesn't have anything to do with me, but it's just something that comes, is accumulated from me playing on the piano, and then this little creature just appears.

The best thing about Berlin was that I got to be surrounded by people who pursue their ideas for themselves.

The orchestral or symphonic music never interested me.

The piano and the singing are two equal things to me - maybe not inseparable but very connected. You can say they are like two equal voices.

Even though music is something I travel around doing, it is also a very private thing. A sort of escapism.
