„Gradually I got a clear idea of what music I wanted to write. It had to be transparent, not ‚art for art’s sake’, not cute, no superfluous notes – plain text. It takes courage to express one’s own opinion. Because if you are outspoken, you are often misunderstood. But I prefer this misunderstanding than an understanding based on ambiguity.“
