I think for me, fusion is a word that describes a positive, collaborative combination of different styles. Every kind of new music was created by a fusion of different styles because to move on and find something new you have to allow all the influences within yourself a voice.

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!

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

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 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.

I like to express true emotions under the cover of melancholy: It includes fulfilment and pain, which describes human existence.

Even films without music are inspiring, as I think a good story is full of changes, different paces, and ideas.
