The most important thing is to be happy myself with what I am doing.

In general, in painting sometimes people like Picasso or somebody are not very well known in the beginning, sometimes they become well known just before they die, or sometimes after they have died. I think these people start to be artists after they've stopped existing.

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.

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

I can introduce new parts because when you are on stage in front of a very happy audience or people who love what you are doing, you are able to do extraordinary things that you yourself didn't think you could do before.

I think about all these influences and musical cultures, then the opinion of the audience is of course important, but when I'm working on an album or a new project, I'm not all the time thinking about what the audience will think about it.

For me, each time I'm on stage, each time I'm working on a new album, it's like a dream. I can't believe it's happening.
