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.

I think that the creative process, especially in the beginning of making an album, I'm feeling very fragile, so to speak, because you are trying out so many different ideas, and if you are listening to it from the outside, it would sound horrible!

If I was writing a song one night, I would leave the studio and come back the next day, and if I could remember the same melody on the same song, it was definitely something worth working more on. If I couldn't remember it, maybe there was a purpose about that.

I really love the fact that instrumental music can have you do your own inner-movies or your own visuals to the sound. There's not lyrics dictating what you should feel.

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.
