Q: How are you?

A: Im fine thanks. And you?

Q: You are on tour right now and you played in Nice last night - how did it go?

A: It went extraordinarily good. I felt free on stage. You can never know how the crowd is in advance, so im very greatful of the nice mood we managed to get.

Q: Can you describe a normal reaction on your current liveperformance

A: Specially on festivals people may think im weird. They are often just happy to meet me and see me.

Q: What does sexuality mean to you?

A: It means alot and is a perfect theme. Very deep and covers the whole humanity. Earlier I thought it was politics, but i was wrong - its sexuality that rules the world.

Q: Tell me about your connection to Italy

A: Italy is definitely my favourite country and i especially visit north of italy alot. Beautiful landscapes make me happy. I drink white wine and eat mushrooms there.

Q: You have worked with half of Daft Punk on your latest album. Do you have plans to continue this co-operation?

A: Yes, why not? I think Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo is an amazing producer. Last time we where in the studio in Paris we came up with many new ideas. I love him.

Q: You love Guy-Man?

A: Yes. But you know, not in the same way as my girlfriend.

Q: Do you already have a new theme for your coming album?

A: Not yet. I have to first stop and think about whats happening around me and get a feeling for a new concept. Its too early to find that right now. I have to get a perspective on the whole, to be able to start on something new. All my albums are based on a concept, thats the only way i can make music.

Q: Mention some important stuff in your life

A: Videogames and my girlfriend

Q: You were performing at Flou08 in Helsinki - guess which song everyone was waiting for?

A: Yes, I remember. It was raining and everyone in the audience was yellow (the organizers handed out yellow rain hoods). The song yes, it must have been Divine?

Q: Wrong

A: Okay, La ritournelle?

Q: Yes. Will we hear it in Tavastia in february?

A: Yes i promise. I love to perfrom with that song.

Q: Speaking of La ritournelle - the song has suddenly appeard in l'oreal tv-commersials. How come?

A: Yes, its true. But it isnt really my song, its a cover. I dont really remember how it went, got an email about it a while ago or something like that. But its okay that its playing in commersials - that way more people get my music. And its L'oreal, it would be worse it was a commersial for ham.

Q: Did you say ham?

A: Yes, or cheese

Thats all
