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

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 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!

It's not always possible to play a song exactly as it is on the album. That's also something that I really don't want to do because I like to have versions that also adapt to the band, so that is always a big challenge to see how we can transform those songs so it feels natural.

It's pretty much the songs I write that dictate what vibe it should be and what singers it should be.

I like to surprise the listener a little bit and also surprise myself when I write the music.

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.
