I extract what I consider the best material from different sources. But often the material I perform comes from a very strange location in history, which are minstrel shows.

Who told you I was a musician?

I extract what I consider the best material from different sources. But often the material I perform comes from a very strange location in history, which are minstrel shows.

The only thing that interests me is history - reviewing the past and making something out of it.

I'm sad and blue, about nobody but you. I told you that I loved you right from the start, you told me the same and now you try to break my little heart.

I think of these things as obstacles rather than opportunities, because if they were opportunities it means I actually took the business of doing them seriously. To take myself too seriously is the gentle kiss of death.

What I do and what I record only work for the moment.
