I remember watching Romeo + Juliet when I was 14 and listening to the soundtrack. When I hear that soundtrack now, all those emotions come back. It's really beautiful when you're at a certain point in your life where most of the adventure lies ahead of you. And it's a sad thing when you feel like you've lost that. But you can get it back.

The key to a good life is finding things that you want to master.

My whole art is based on escaping life and reality, which might not the best tendency to have when you're trying to be a good person in general. But people can escape into my world easily - artists are supposed to create a keyhole that people can look into.

Of course, there are a lot of things I'm angry about in the world.

I know that I'm dealing with some kind of wound through my music.

I lived five years in Portugal and then spent winters in Nepal or India.

Driving, for me, means power and freedom. The feeling that I can go anywhere I want at any time is exhilarating.
