My music is L-O-V-E because it's a gift, and you only give something when you feel it deeply.

What makes life complicated is the things that are on me and it is very hard to keep things simple. I see it as I am complicated and there is innocence to this.

People do accuse me of being just decorative or an escapist - well I am. That's what I do. I am other things as well. I transcend the song and give it a different meaning.

I see myself as universal, not as a German, American, French or whatever, because we all live on this planet. We're all living on the earth.

I want to accomplish my work and fulfill my dreams, and do something with my life, and I hope I'll be able to accomplish it. It's very much work, but I like it.

The urge to sing was so strong one day I performed in a club and it was very successful.

There are moments in my show that are very moving as well as amusing.
