I'm fascinated by musicians who don't completely understand their territory; that's when you do your best work.

Feelings are more dangerous than ideas, because they aren't susceptible to rational evaluation. They grow quietly, spreading underground, and erupt suddenly, all over the place.

If you watch any good player, they're using different parts of their body and working with instruments that respond to those movements. They're moving in many dimensions at once.

I see TV as a picture medium rather than a narrative medium.

When you make something you are always offering some choices and denying others.

W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you.

As soon as you externalize an idea you see facets of it that weren't clear when it was just floating around in your head.
