I went solo because I could do much better what I wanted to do. I didn't have to ask or discuss things and ideas that are already shaped in my head.

I listened to the rock music of that time, but as you know and can easily hear: my music of that era had nothing to do with the common music of this era. I was experimenting, I was searching for something new.

Every music - except dance music, which is for dancing, I suppose - is for the spirit of the human being, and not for the body.

A concert is a concert is a concert is a concert. An album is an album is an album is an album. Musically, both have nothing in common.

Because, also the world of showbiz is not just black and white, good and bad.

I had to realize that the use of samples has its rules, too.

The problem was the journalists who also did not understand much of my music, but they wrote about it. I think you fell into the usual trap laid out by parts of the press and other writers: that the poor musician has always to fight the evil companies and managers.
