'''Costello:''' Not really. Incidentally, I used back in 1997 synth loops, at that time I often listened to music of Kraftwerk. Where I on "When I Was Cruel" loops and samples have used, this is done in a very musical way, as you would use an instrument. Therefore, the album the listener also appears as homogeneous. | '''Costello:''' Not really. Incidentally, I used back in 1997 synth loops, at that time I often listened to music of Kraftwerk.

'''Costello:''' There is quite a compliment for me, if someone feels that way. It was a trip to Ethiopia, which has inspired me to "15 Petals". As I felt the feeling of freedom in the music of this country, I wanted to write a love song. A love song that is not sentimental, but very great passion expressed. You know, the whole mystery of "When I Was Cruel" is that we have tried to retrieve the roll, the rock and roll has lost long ago. And that's what makes this album even sexy. Some people think of my music to something very head-biased, because I do a lot of words in my songs. But this is not the case. My music is entirely suitable for all parts of the human body, thus also for the pool. | '''Costello:''' There is quite a compliment for me, if someone feels that way.

'''Costello:''' That's very different. There are definitely songs like "[[Alibi]]", where the lyrics are very important to me, where every word is chosen carefully. In other songs, it's more the music that will provoke an image in the listener. The words are then more like an instruction manual for a VCR, the one she needs, the other is also very well without them. | '''Costello:''' That's very different.
