It's nice if you're making a regular pop or rock album and you get ten little songs. But I really try to make the album with one big story instead of ten small stories.

I listen a lot to my own music when I'm in the process of making it. In the car, in the kitchen while making food, on my iPod when I go shopping, etc. I listen to it as much as possible, and if I get tired of listening to it, it's not good enough, and I leave it unreleased.

The importance of selecting music and sequencing songs - making one song merge into another song. In retrospect, those are the most important lessons I got from DJs.

I think most good music has got some kind of crossover-potential. It feels nice to know that there are more people than those into dance-music that are listening to what I've made.

I don't like to put tags on my music. I leave that to others. Seems like some people see me as the founder of space disco, although that's a bit weird since there were lots of music from the late 70s and early 80s that easily fits into this genre. I can understand why we need genres, but I don't feel comfortable using any on my own music.

When I'm working on something and I get to the point where I feel it getting interesting, that's my reward.

I always spend too much time on getting the details right. That's the problem with computers. They make it possible to change too much of the music after it's been recorded.

I wish I could free myself from making music that has a dancefloor-function, or at least try to focus more on all the other elements in music.
