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 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.

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.

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.

I can't really have any friends. It's sad, really. It's lonely. But that's how I am.

I have to say that the judges and our judiciary system makes better decisions than the politicians.

Only by you my heart always moves.

A woman in love is a very poor judge of character.

I sometimes find reality far more fantastical and unlikely than what I could just make up.

If you want to see birds, you must have birds in your heart.

I often think my life would be a lot easier if I were a mute.

In Florence, classical buildings sit against medieval buildings. It's that contrast we like.
