"I'm never as much in the moment as when doing music - there is no room for analyzing or filtering your impulses, no place for vanity."

"Sometimes, a piece of music comes to me when away from the piano - it's already composed when I reach my instrument. Sometimes writing a piece is pure craftwork - I search harmonic landscapes until something is triggered within me."

"Sometimes, a piece of music is strong initially, but does not evoke the same emotions later. Sometimes, a piece feels dull during the making, but grows with time. I guess one has to accept that some pieces are for certain moods."
