You can only make a good noise on the guitar if you're committed. Little careful noise doesn't work. You have to be bold.

What are you going to do when you are not saving the world.

I want to go and write music that announces to you that you can feel something. I don’t want to tell you what to feel, but I just want you to have the possibility of feeling something.

You're going to fail a few times, because that is the only time you actually learn something.

I've never had a real job in my life. I didn't learn anything, I was terrible at school. It was just this thing. Music was all I wanted to do.

Why get up in the morning unless you’re going to have an adventure?

I'm homeless, in a funny way. My culture I think is completely rooted in German 19th century music I suppose.
