On the other hand, I'm very tolerant as well. I expect that everybody can play what they want. I'm only not tolerant when it comes to myself and what is presented on my album that I have to listen to for the rest of my life.

The problem is that I don't want to add another record to the world that is not necessary to be published, except to make some business. There has to be a musical reason.

When I started to pick up the bass, it was purely by random chance.

I am a classical music lover - not necessarily the contemporary stuff, but the old stuff.

In 1972, I got my first electric bass and started playing the kind of instrument I play now. I found that the majority of musicians couldn't bear that. They are not used to listening to the bass because they think the bass is in the background to support them.

I played cello in my high school orchestra.

It is probably very necessary to present your ego at some point.
