I studied art just short of the level where you can earn a degree.

Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress.

It's so much in me to want to keep experimenting all the time. It's just inherent.

I think that's always very valuable: to keep the mind open to receiving all sorts of information, which can then be used in my work, but also just as a human being.

I am someone that follows the news and reads newspapers yet what do you believe and what don't you.

I never feel that I have to adopt a character. It's more the way I choose to present the music and that's always based on what is right for the song.

Ive always been very visceral in that I feel things very deeply.
