You seem confident, are you a confident person?

No, I'm not. When you are playing music, I wouldn't say everything is easy, but you can have an easy life. It's just that I'm not bothered by a lot of stuff. When you ask me about why I'm not worried about my loss of luggage, I'm not gonna cry or get angry, just because something happened to me. I prefer to have an easy life. As a musician, it's great to live the life that you have. So it's not about confidence, it's about taking it easy, taking it cool.

You kind of have an easy life attitude, but what is something that you take seriously?

Music, that is what I take seriously. Not just something I do. When I get on to the stage, I wanna have fun, I want people to have fun, and the only reason to be on the stage is the audience. And when it comes to writing and recording, I'm pretty stressed out, because I wanna do good. And I'm never sure I'm doing good. Even when I'm listening to my record, I'm never happy with what I'm doing, not really satisfied with what I have done. I myself don't have music that I liked very much, if I did, I might have stopped doing music. I hope that someday I will have something that I'm really proud of. I'm not there yet.

Are you harsh on your members?

I don't know, it's a good question for them. I'd like to know how they think of me. Umm, I don't think so, we have a friendly relationship, and we're pretty much friends. But sometimes you have to go to work, and be serious about something, and stop laughing, cause we laugh a lot on our tours.

Which countries have you toured in? And how do you discover a city?

Pretty much everywhere, I went to Russia, Brazil, Canada, all around Europe. Well, so far it's pretty much about sound check, hotels, and getting back my luggage because they lost my luggage at the airport. Yeah, when you come to a city, what's cool about music is that you get to know a lot of people right away, and you are not considered a tourist anymore, and you have a guide to help get to know the city and you can ask people, and are surrounded by local people.

What Chinese food do you like?

Pineapple pork, it was beautiful. I ate it last night, I ate it today, and I'm gonna eat it tomorrow. And fried rice with eggs. When I find something I like, I stick to it.
