“My music is based on the delicacy and colourfulness of my instrument. I do not play any new types of musical genre, I only follow my own path and improvise and write music. I cannot see differences between musical styles and ways, so I play folk-, classical-, rock-, blues-, jazz-, and improvisational music.”

Még azt mondják ez se szép, az se szép,
Olyan vagyok, mint a csillagos ég,
Olyan vagyok, mint az engedelem,
A két orcámon rajtaég a szerelem a sötétbe.
Édesanyám vett nekem kalapot,
Fújja a szél rajta a szalagot,
Ha nem fújja magam is lobogtatom,
Ezt a szőkét, idecsalogatom a sötétbe.
