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

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 really like stories, so in a way it doesn't matter for me if they are real or fiction.

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.

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!

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.
