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

If the melodies are strong, it's much easier to see which way I can take them sound-wise.

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.

For every album, I really try to make an album that you hopefully will listen to from the first track to the last track. I personally really like if there's a - maybe not a story, but there's a natural flow.

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.

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