Before our albums are released I feel like we still own it, that we have control over our music. But once it's out there in the world it's no longer ours.

Nothing matters except life and the love you make.

Celebrity culture has gone crazy, and I think the reason is that real news is just not bearable, and it also seems impossible to change anything.

The lyrics just come out, and I don't know where from. I'm an incredible failure in relationships. I think there's a romantic ideal that I'm aspiring for. I don't know. The lyrics are always about unsuccessful relationships. They're not all about the love between a man and a woman. It's about friendship and family. Deep down there's a lot of talk about general existence.

I never talk about my wife: we're both in public professions but we try to keep our private life private.

I've had tinnitus for about 10 years, but since I started protecting my ears it hasn't got any worse. Looking after your ears is unfortunately something you don't think about until there's a problem. I wish I'd thought about it earlier.

Even when other people don’t expect a lot out of you,you have to take the initiative.
