I get a lot of emails where people are writing me their experiences, how they discovered my music, what they feel... they motivate me to carry on with what I am doing.

I think there is a big question in how much music a film needs - a lot of films are overloaded for my taste, so that the story can't carry its own weight.

I also remember riding home from a wonderful day with only my bathing shorts, losing the chain of my bicycle, having no hand breaks, and slipping high speed on a street covered with stones. I had to go to the hospital.

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.

During Christmas time, on German television they show films with three or four episodes, and I quite like the feeling of waiting for the next episode.

I was bored to death and thinking more about the minibar and the after-show party than the performance.

I am inspired by the films of Pedro Almodóvar, as they are funny, sad, and extremely weird.
