"To convince oneself that one has the right to live decently takes time."

"The mind of man, moreover, works with equal strangeness upon the body of time.

"There is no waste of time in life like that of making explanations."

"Orchestra had a little brass ensemble on two tracks as well, but the rest was me. I knew I couldn't continue in this direction, even if people liked it, because I can only duplicate myself."

"Orchestras are not used to playing the kind of stuff jazz musicians like to play. It requires a lot of rehearsal and recording time, so it's much easier to do on a synth or sampler. So, we came up with that idea."

"In 1972, I got my first electric bass and started playing the kind of instrument I play now. I found that the majority of musicians couldn't bear that. They are not used to listening to the bass because they think the bass is in the background to support them."

"The problem is that I don't want to add another record to the world that is not necessary to be published, except to make some business. There has to be a musical reason."

"At the time, I didn't know that bass would not be enough for me. I'm not a bass player because bass is always a background instrument even to this very day."

"I like to create the music I hear in my interior. As a conductor, you have the ability to squeeze the sounds and interpretation you asked for from 50 to 80 people."

"When I think back now to the recording sessions, there is more improvisation than one hears. It's an ideal combination of arrangements and improvisation. Only a few people are able to listen and say what is composed and what is improvised. It's a unit."

"There are always some doubts when you do a new album though. You wonder whether you succeeded or not, especially when you waited as long as I did for this one - seven years. You're never really sure if it will be a nice record or not."
