I am surprising myself [at] each show, and the delivered piano often surprises me. Sometimes the piano is so old that I don't have to prepare it, and sometimes I have a concert grand!

My music is also one part of my inner process, and people also seem to connect with me on that - especially the ones who have the same questions for their own lives.

I always felt strongly connected to the region where I was born. But after leaving school, the only clear thought I had about my life was to leave this provincial area and go to places where real life was happening.

I can't really say that film music inspired me; it is more the films themselves, in connection with the music.

I am a big fan of the Coen Brothers; I like their kind of absurd, dark approach.

I always liked stories that carry on and have a different format from the normal music video.

The opportunity to use a computer is great when it is used as one component, or when someone is working on his or her own sounds and approaches. I think it actually has the same restrictions as using the piano or any other instrument in [a traditional] way.
