I would love to do an electronic record. There's just so much to see and do and try. And life goes by.

With modern recording techniques, and living in the Pro Tools era, the process gets really drawn-out, and it can become painstaking.

I never had any expectations of winning a Grammy. It wasn't something I was set on, that I was hoping and praying and starving for.

Somebody else is satisfied by five Bentleys. I'm satisfied by a beautiful string arrangement.

You have to shelve a lot of your inspiration. There's only so much you can do with one record.

Art is the child of Nature; yes, her darling child, in whom we trace the features of the mother's face, her aspect and her attitude.

I'm always looking for older equipment and ways of recording, but you can't escape the fact that it's all going to be digitized and reduced. I do think music sounds better when it's on tape and more simply recorded. I've been arguing with people for 10 years about tape versus digital, and I believe tape is absolutely essential in getting the sound that's conducive to the enjoyment of music. I wonder if it's going to go back to that. Sometimes I think it has to. As music becomes more computer-based, it's lost some emotional impact.
