The only person with you all your life is you. Your parents die. Things inside you die — illusions, gushes of personality. Only you can sort yourself out. Yourself may not be all you need, but it’s all you’ve got.

I'm quite a private person and I like my work to do the talking.

I don't think it's a very nice idea [making biopic] at all. I don't think my life is that interesting.

I just know that something good is going to happen. I don't know when - but just saying it could even make it happen.

I was so nervous every night that I had to really focus and keep myself in that moment so that I would not forget the words. I was really present for every song.

If you believe in what you do and you really want to be in music, just stick at it. It's always a learning process. Enjoy it because I think making music is a privilege, really. In an ideal world, it should also always be fun. As much as possible, make it fun.

As the people grow colder, I turn to my computer and spend my evenings with it like a friend.
