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

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

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.

When I read a script, I am already in the movie with my music, and I can dive into a world that I haven't seen before.

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.

Memories were in my mind during nearly all the concerts I've done, and I realized the deep connection to my childhood, when I went out in the morning and the only thing my mom said was, "Come back before dark." What trust and what freedom!

I was always interested in finding the elegance of each style and understanding why it influences so many people.
