Agnes Obel

I don't have a classical-music mentality. I haven't been taught that way, and it doesn't fit my character, either.

I learned that music should be fun and should be a way to express yourself - that there aren't really any rules.

I wish my parents had been more strict and made me learn more instruments.

That is the definition of equal justice under law: everyone gets a fair shot, everyone pays their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules.

There's never been anything I didn't love that I didn't connect with on a personal level because, to some degree, I projected upon it.

Painting... in which the inner and the outer man are inseparable, transcends technique, transcends subject and moves into the realm of the inevitable.
