To be nice to people and make them happy - that's my philosophy in life.

The really strong key thing always comes direct to your heart. Even if it's a visual thing it doesn't come to your eyes! Even if it is a listening thing it doesn't come to your ears, it goes directly to your spirit!

For the piano and me it is always a blind date! I meet different pianos every single day. I can't take my piano with me like a bassist can take his instrument. So whenever I arrive I am a bit nervous to see what kind of piano is waiting for me.

Travelling is very difficult, you have to go to places with different climates and time zones. Travelling like that every single day through the year is definitely not healthy, but that's something I have to sacrifice if I want to play music.

My music is very emotional. The reason why I want to play music is very emotional. I want to call out my emotions and package them into music.

Every day is different and improvised. Sometimes, a song can lead to a completely different adventure. You can't control it.

I'm always hungry to learn. I always look for something that I can study.
