Zitat des Tages von Agnes Obel:
I've heard from other artists that people are a little bit more reserved in Northern Europe, which comes across at concerts, where the audience may be quieter. So this means less hecklers, but maybe it also means that people may not be as open about how they felt. I'm not so sure this is especially true of Denmark, but it's what I've heard.
I learned that music should be fun and should be a way to express yourself - that there aren't really any rules.
I love Denmark. But it is a very safe place, and it is easy to let the state look after everything for you.
The best thing about Berlin was that I got to be surrounded by people who pursue their ideas for themselves.
Sometimes I feel like a melody doesn't have anything to do with me, but it's just something that comes, is accumulated from me playing on the piano, and then this little creature just appears.
I wish my parents had been more strict and made me learn more instruments.
I don't have a classical-music mentality. I haven't been taught that way, and it doesn't fit my character, either.
I don't have a daily routine at all.
The orchestral or symphonic music never interested me.
Everything that has a spare piano is 'like Satie' and everything with strings is 'filmic,' Sometimes I get annoyed when they say my stuff sounds 'like Satie'. No, it doesn't. At least, I don't think so.
Feelings such as loneliness, longing or love are sometimes hard to put into words; maybe that's why we all love music, because it resonates with something we can't share.
When I started working on my own music, I didn't have the chance to record in a big music studio, so I had to record everything myself.
