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.

Well, you know, I am in the business and I like to promote myself.

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.

The way I look is part of it. It sounds affected but I do see myself as a piece of living art.

I feel threatened, and sometimes it makes me angry because I can't do anything about that, there's just too many issues. But in a way I think my work is meant to get people out of that.

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.

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.
