As everyone else, I was a fan of Pink Floyd in the sixties.

Most of today's music is done electronically.

How did this or that change my music? The only time I have to think about it is when an interviewer asks me that.

We are all part of a tradition, at least we depend on the past.

Yes, I was invited to make the sound environment at a booth of a huge electronic company, during the Hanover Industrial Fair in 1973. It was a job. Slightly good paid. But not as much as my producer then told the press.

When I came back I had to realize that IC was not in a very good shape - all the much money that we had because of the huge Ideal success, was gone. I was very upset.

Everything changes permantly. How boring if it wouldn't.

I did not start IC and Inteam to have control over my music. I had control before and after.

Sometimes I like to make music together with a singer or with singers.

Because, also the world of showbiz is not just black and white, good and bad.

Manuel is still today a good friend. The others I see rarely, but with Edgar I phone from time to time.

As always in a musical collaboration: One has to like each other. As simple as that.

I listened to the rock music of that time, but as you know and can easily hear: my music of that era had nothing to do with the common music of this era. I was experimenting, I was searching for something new.

The human voice is the first and most natural musical instrument, also the most emotional.

And of course, the musician - if he's serious - always answers: My last album is my best, otherwise I wouldn't have done it.

Every music - except dance music, which is for dancing, I suppose - is for the spirit of the human being, and not for the body.

Yes, I'm a musician. I also like to play with others, sometimes more, sometimes less.

Yes, sampling has changed not just my way of playing and composing.

I had to realize that the use of samples has its rules, too.

I never had many problems to do my music and to give it to a record company. Rarely do they try to argue with me about my music, probably because it's still too far-out.

My interest in his new toy, the Theremin, isn't very big. It simply does not fit into my way of playing music. I do not want to fiddle around with my hands in the air.

The problem was the journalists who also did not understand much of my music, but they wrote about it. I think you fell into the usual trap laid out by parts of the press and other writers: that the poor musician has always to fight the evil companies and managers.

Then, in 1983 I went on a very long concert tour all over Europe.

A concert is a concert is a concert is a concert. An album is an album is an album is an album. Musically, both have nothing in common.

I actually started singing those songs six or seven years ago, when I was an opening act for Frank Sinatra.

When I make movies, I don't ever go out there to please anyone other than myself. I never try to make a film for the masses. I just try to tell my story.

We were called, male and female, to do great works with separate approaches and separate assignments.

I believe that God and reality are too big for my poor words.

There are still great artists in the country format.

I am a big fan of the Gallagher brothers. At Liverpool, they came a few times; they are friends of Steven Gerrard. It was nice to meet them. When I was in Spain, I couldn't speak English, so I couldn't understand the lyrics. When I came to England, I started studying music and trying to understand what my favourite songs said.

The spiritual virtue of a sacrament is like light; although it passes among the impure, it is not polluted.

To me, old age is always fifteen years older than I am.

There is something about having babies in your 40s that is unique in both a humiliating and amazing way.

The world is not growing worse and it is not growing better - it is just turning around as usual.

In the beginning she had haunted me haunted my dreams but even now just weeks later she was slipping away falling apart in my memory and everyone elses dying again.

I want to build a Big Labor party. A party of big ideas. A party which is deeply connected to the community. A party which reflects our diverse nation.

You go through life experiences. Each record captures a different turning point in my life.

Someone who is not a killer is not going to watch a TV show and decide to be a killer.

Time is about the need to control. Let go of control and embrace what happens.

I'd always read omnivorously and often thought much literary fiction is read by young men and women in their 20s as substitutes for experience.

My kids are exhausted every day, and I keep them that way. It's gym, ice, homework. They're too tired to get in trouble.

The highest earthly enjoyments are but a shadow of the joy I find in reading God's word

Of course I prefer to have nature around me, but it doesn't have to be with the exact original vegetation for nostalgic reasons. Nature is moving and making new things.

Let's not forget that the little emotions are the great captains of our lives and we obey them without realizing it.

But I went down to Venezuela and spend a few weeks going through jungles. It's fantastic looking.

Thanks to President Obama, being a woman will no longer be a pre-existing condition!
