I really like to be alone. It's nearly like being naked in the studio, and if someone were to walk in, that wouldn't feel good.

Even if I don't think in visuals about the music while I'm doing it, after the music is finished, it could be great to incorporate that in the live show or doing my own music videos.

There are some ideas that I know I have to try out before I find the right sound, before I find the right melody.

I must admit I'm a total control freak. That is the way that it works best for me.

It's very easy to overproduce stuff and you can forget those first spontaneous ideas are often the best ideas.

Sometimes, I actually end up doing three or four different versions of one song, and sometimes, those versions can be done very differently. They can be very laid back, downtempo, or sometimes the same song can be quite uptempo. But it is always the same melody and chord progressions.

I'm very much thinking in music most of the time, but I really would love to start filming because when I was a teenager, that was my big hobby and it was always fun for me to explore that world.
