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

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

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.

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.

I like the influence of pictures on music and the other way around.

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!
