When I was in bands, I always liked the demo best.

The best thing about Berlin was that I got to be surrounded by people who pursue their ideas for themselves.

It's always difficult to know if a song needs more than piano, and I worry about my tendency to go in a sparse direction.

I have a difficult relationship with jazz. My parents really love it, and I went to a school where jazz was considered the best thing ever, so I had to leave it be for a long time. But now I'm rediscovering it. I'm approaching jazz in a different way.

Even though music is something I travel around doing, it is also a very private thing. A sort of escapism.

Feelings such as loneliness, longing or love are sometimes hard to put into words; maybe that's why we all love music, because it resonates with something we can't share.
