In a way, I pick out the films that have a same attitude as music that I like.

I like to express true emotions under the cover of melancholy: It includes fulfilment and pain, which describes human existence.

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.

When I'm walking with my father through the woods, and we reach a place where you see so far that your ego suddenly shrinks because you are so touched by the dimension of your surroundings.

I was actually very surprised after using some plastic necklaces on the strings, as the sound was very bright. Sometimes I just put something inside that lies next to me.

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!

I can't say that electronic gear is restrictive. I think it is a challenge to play with electronic gear, and I regularly [perform] concerts with guys who are processing sound.

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

I am inspired by the films of Pedro Almodóvar, as they are funny, sad, and extremely weird.

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

I had a record deal with Sony in the beginning of the 90s, and I was rapping and singing in my band.

Non-doing simply means letting things be and allowing them to unfold in their own way.

I'm just kind of taking a break now and enjoying the freedom of making my own choices. When you're on a television show for six years, they run your schedule.

In a way I am saying the nation-state doesn't exist, borders don't exist, you can try going anywhere. It is a kind of pre-Internet consensus I always had in me.

There doesn't seem to be any tomorrow. Every time I wake up, no matter in what position, it's always been today.

Oaths are the fossils of piety.

Beware the wrath of a patient adversary.

I wish that every director was as interested in doing as much in camera and with physical objects as much as possible as J.J. Abrams is.

I don't think there's any great mystery to writing female characters, so long as you talk to them. If you lived in a monastery and never met any women, maybe it would be difficult.

I've gotten to hang out with Elmo, I'm the Fairy Shoeperson on 'Sesame Street'. So hopefully our kids will get to see and hear me as much as they're able.

I don't know what the future holds. I just try to do roles that I haven't done before.
