I'm proud of my kids, they are doing what they want to do.

The best thing about this band is I'm the leader!

My sons are into German music, but they are into all kinds of music.

I was always playing the Hammond Organ back to front even during the days of the Nice, going back to 1968. Really what I was doing there, was choosing notes at random and trying to make some sense of them, improvising back to front.

Next year I'm going to be a guesting soloist with orchestras all over Europe, to start off with.

I don't regard myself as a great classical or jazz pianist. I like country music, but I'm not a great player. I just like music. Drums 'n' bass is pretty exciting and I'd love to explore it.

I consider everything I compose a gift.
