Alexander Rybak, Interview, M1 "Ma délelőtt", 27.05.2016.Budapest

I: You will also perform in the 2nd season
of Virtuózok. What can we look forward to?

A: This time I will play only classical.

I have played two concerts here in Budapest, and those were a mix.

But this time I will only do classical.

I realise that you have an amazing orchestra, and I will play with them and a pianist, Apor.
Is that a name?

I: Yes.
A: Okay, he is a great pianist, and I also
played with him in the previous shows.

I'm very happy to play with him ?????????.
But I will only play classical this time.

You have played both piano and violin since
you were five, but you chose the violin?

Well, you know I'm from Soviet Union.
The children don't choose themselves.

It's their parents who choose what's best for their children.

And I am happy that my father introduced?? me to violin.

It sounds like they were pointing with a gun at my head. It's not like that.

They just pushed me, helped me really,a nd made me focus in ???? instead of football ???? .

?????

They had a plan for me, and for a child it's nice to know ?????
What is comming tomorrow. To build your talent.

It's really nice to have it all planned ?????
Of course I was crying sometimes, I hoped my violin broke?????.

But they knew it was just child emotions. The next day I was like; Oh, I want to play the violin.

????????? every day, also when I didn't want to play. Parents know that and children do not know that.

I: How many hours did you have to practice every day?

A: I say 3-4 every day, but I'm exeggarating. I'm sure it was less.

All these ????? they always exaggaret about their childhood. ??????????????????

All those things ?????? exagerating. ?????? ( I gues she is taking about teh medias overdoing the facts ) ?

My parenst has pushed me towards practising. But I had a very normal childhood.

I: Did you the violin playing totally quit already at the begin ???? Not sure what she asks here.

No, I did half of each. %0% piano and 50% violin.

But after 2 years,a ctually when I was seven, I played with teh Oslo Philarmoncica Orchestra.

I: Where you nervous?

A; I don't remember. ??????????

Then I started.... my father saw I had more talent for violin than piano.

I: Do you still have your first violin?

I'm not a collector. Never. The museums have ???????? In Oslo ???? I dont have those clothes???

I'm lucky if I have the clothes I were yesterday. I'm not a collector. I just were teh clothes i have and just want to go on.

I: You won the ESC in 2009. How was it to represnt Norway in Moscow?

That was the most important thing. To represent my coutry. To show what kind of music we play .

And that it can be done with a classical violin and the most improtant was that I wanted to show the world how to combine different things.

Because before that all teh radios in Norway was like ...?????? the same outfit, the same costue.

I wanted to show something new, and I really didn't think of winning or coming last. i really wanted just to show ???? on a big stage.

I become a favorite??? ,and then i won. So I was a bit surprised too.

The biggest moment was when I was on stage.

I: In front of such a huge audience.. I can only imagine....

It ????? Actually the very biigest moment was to sit in my kotchen and work with the song.

I: The composing itself.
A: Yes.

A: To be able to... without any ???? choreography ????.
I just wrote the melody , the story about my lost ??? girlfriend.

It was me and myself,a nd that was the biggest moment.

I: What other things inspire you?

Freindship, love of course. With freindship .????

So, maybe my best song is about dragons. It's from the movie "How to train your dragon 2" by DreamWorks. It's big.

That was bigger then Eurovision. Because someone has to win Eurovision every day, ???, but also ????

But to send a song to DreamWorks i LA 2 weeks before the premiere, is ????

???? He is talking about his deal with DW here,

And then they called me and ???? : they want teh song afterall.

I: Wow, it's amazing.

A: I was amazed that it ecatually happened. But I like the song from teh beginning. ??????

I like miracles???. It inspires me to make ?????

I spent lots of Euros on, lots of thousands, and I know I wont get anything back ???

But it inspire my work , so ??? So when YT is gone, I still have teh vidoes I can show to my grand children, and I want them to be really ???

??? directors.

Some people are using their money to buy cars. I use my money to visit Disneyworld and doing my music.

So it's like...I'm not very rich ??? I spend so much more on my work. but it is just the balance I need.

And also the children's book I have been writing.

I have wrote a children's book, and it's a very big siccess in Norway. Because inside the book there are 3 CD's with teh songs that follows the story.

And also an audiobook, and there are like 4-5 of the most famous actors who do the voices .
