There is no formula to it because writing every song, for me, is a little journey. The first note has to lift you and make you go, 'What's this?' You play C, but why is it that one day it leads to G and it didn't yesterday? I don't know. It's everything. It's the walk you take in the morning, it's the night before, the meeting with people, landscapes, the chats, all of that evolves in some way into melody, but I'm not sure how it's going to happen. I'm dealing with the unknown all the time and that is exciting.

I don't have pets, I have two guard dogs; and I don't do my own shopping; it's a security thing.

I think they find it - they find me quite confusing, because - they know the music, but they don't know anything about me because I keep a very private lifestyle so they end up making up stories as such. But I don't really concern myself too much about them.

I do promotion when it is necessary, but I always want to get back to the music.

The success of Watermark surprised me. I never thought of music as something commercial; it was something very personal to me.

The writing of a melody is an emotional moment; success doesn't make it easy.
