Do you have a favourite place in Copenhagen?
”I can never find my way. My sense of location doesn’t work. It’s always been that way.
That’s why I don’t have favourite places, because I wouldn’t be able to find them again. Instead, all places are my favourite places. And in a city like Copenhagen, it’s easy.
To me, Copenhagen is a city that is green as well as blue. Wherever you are, you can almost always find something green. I really like that. Some say that green is good for the eyes, and I think that is absolutely right. I also really like the fact that you can always see the sky above the city. This is a city that doesn’t have many tall buildings. When I look up, the sky is usually blue.”

What is your favourite music?
”I have always been very fond of jazz, and jazz has always been very fond of Copenhagen. I like thinking about that.
Copenhagen is a jazz city. This is witnessed by many street signs as well as names of squares and names on gravestones (if you can find them!).
But the jazzy thing about Copenhagen is more fundamental, I think. Jazz builds on many different traditions and cultures – and you can say the same about Copenhagen.
There is probably good reason why I feel so at home here in jazzy Copenhagen, where there is always room for improvisation in the middle of all the green and blue. Room for the familiar – and room for the new.”

Do you have a favourite place in Copenhagen?
“One of my favourite places in Copenhagen is Assistens Kirkegård, next to where I live. Find a patch of grass or a bench and sit down and enjoy the peace, the people passing by, the trees, the flowers, the interesting headstones and the distant sounds of the city outside – I like to think that the dead enjoy our company when we drop by!”

Do you have a favourite place outside Copenhagen?
“When I am in the area, I like to visit Hesnæs Strand on Falster to take a swim on this ‘secret’ beach (a car is highly recommended to get you there).”

Who is your favourite Danish writer?
“If you are on the southern islands, then bring with you a collection of Emil Aarestrup's poems; he used to work in Nysted as a doctor, and in his spare time write beautiful poems – that were only discovered after his demise.”
