I prefer simple things - monotone melodies repeating the same things all the time. Because I think life is like that.

We're repeating the same things all the time; there aren't many new things happening in this life.

Everybody does music from his culture and his experiences with his culture. There are not so many people who are interested by the music coming from different countries and different cultures and trying to make music from that, from all these experiences.

My influences are jazz, blues, European classical music; they are rock music and pop music. So many kinds of music. World music from different countries like India and China. I think that would be a shame not to take advantage and do something... not unique, because I don't have this pretension.

The audiences are really different in general. Even in the same country or in the same city, from one venue to another, the audiences can be totally different.

I can change the arrangements on stage while I am playing or singing, doing signs to the musicians to change things because the audience is dancing or singing with us. That's the interesting part of the live show, actually, because everything is possible and everything can change.

I'm in a state of my life when the essential is very important to me. I don't like long songs with complicated arrangements and breaks anymore.
