I approach everything as an absolute outsider. It is the only way I can break so many rules.

I think it is nice to be a little magical. Today we need this. All that we can read in fairy tales or in books. I think somewhere it is all around us. But nowadays we can think that this magic has been killed and I am try to make it survive as long as possible.

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.

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

Every time I bought a Rock and Roll record, I bought a classical record at the same time. I like each as well as the other.

I think opera music is very conservative, and Rock and Roll music is conservative as well, and that's why I'm trying to make a bridge between these two elements.

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.
