"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."
Business

"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."
Time

"When I started to pick up the bass, it was purely by random chance."
Chance

"I was afraid the other musicians might want to present themselves too much, though I see in the coverage I've received of the album that the musicians got wonderful reviews for their contributions and abilities. I think the four musicians played freely within my limits."
Limit

"I realized pretty soon that I have to do more than just play bass in the background way. So, I developed a kind of playing which only a handful of musicians accepted."
Musicians

People

"On the other hand, I'm very tolerant as well. I expect that everybody can play what they want. I'm only not tolerant when it comes to myself and what is presented on my album that I have to listen to for the rest of my life."
Life

"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."
