I write for a lot of places, so I'm on a lot of promo lists.

I don't sit down and say I'm going to write a song about this or that. They are never mapped out.

I got a promo of 'Nichts Muss' in what would have been 2002 or 2003 and fell totally in love with it after listening to it on an airplane that took me to Australia via Taipei and Kuala Lumpur.

Well, the only way I can get a leading-man role is if I write it.

I write my music.

I write in the studio.
