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 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.

In August most of Europe goes on holiday.

No one else in our family was a professional musician so this took an enormous leap of faith on their part.

Today a record producer is even more involved and is often the production's sole musician, one person playing all the instruments one-by-one.

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

It might be that to surrender to happiness was to accept defeat, but it was a defeat better than many victories.

If I drive myself to the brink of my ability, then I don't get stale or bored.

The unconscious is our best collaborator.

[Charles] Reznikoff was in between faiths, in between worlds... a double, hyphenated American. I think it probably goes deeper than that.

If I want to keep working as an actor, I'm going to become a comedian who does fart jokes.

Every effect that one produces gives one an enemy. To be popular one must be a mediocrity.

Canada is a Northern European welfare state in the worst sense of the term, and very proud of it.

The Internet is awesome because it's...there.

We make too much of winning. The mere fact of winning doesn't make you great.
