My father had a brilliant scholastic record in high school and was awarded a college scholarship. Unfortunately he had to turn it down so that he could continue to support his family.

I am flying back to New York as I write this. I will never forget these wonderful 35 days and I would go back to Copenhagen in a heartbeat to work there again.

When I was five my parents bought me a ukulele for Christmas. I quickly learned how to play it with my father's guidance. Thereafter, my father regularly taught me all the good old fashioned songs.

I am not a creature of habit.

It is easily overlooked that what is now called vintage was once brand new.

I love Logic Audio and have been using it for years. All my track outputs used to come up on my old board in the same order as in the old Mac G4 - 1 through 32, came up as 1 through 32, for instance.

Fortunately I own a vintage brain, and I am alive and well in the 21st century, still making records, still working at an intense pace and most of all, still having fun doing it.

My father loved people, children and pets.

Now I know what it's like to be a rock star. No, I didn't sleep with 5 groupies at once. But I was interviewed about 45 times in 5 days in 3 cities.

I can honestly say Ive never thought for a second about whether a character reflects poorly on any group. All that matters to me is that the character is true to my belief in who he or she is.

The easiest thing is to make sure you feel happy and satisfied in this moment. Setting long term goals is much more effort taking, but at the same time much more fulfilling.

Shops and clubs are very important when you want to change things. And they have a common denominator; the customer.

It appears that every man's insomnia is as different from his neighbours as are their daytime hopes and aspirations.

I will only debate with my equals. All others I teach.

The mountains have always been here, and in them, the bears.

Like adverts, today's works of art aim to create a brand, even if they have no product to sell except themselves.

Honestly, I don't recommend anyone get into music. If you have something else that you're good at, do that instead. This is a really tough world to live in.

Resistance is experienced as fear; the degree of fear equates to the strength of Resistance.

How you do anything is how you do everything.
