A part of me has become immortal, out of my control.

The biology of purpose keeps my nose above the surface.

I make a lot of pieces of music that I never release as CDs.

Attention is what creates value. Artworks are made as well by how people interact with them - and therefore by what quality of interaction they can inspire.

I think one of my pursuits over the years is trying to answer the question of 'what else can you do with a voice other than stand in front of a microphone and sing?'

When people censor themselves they're just as likely to get rid of the good bits as the bad bits.

I think most artists would be happy to have bigger audiences rather than smaller ones. It doesn't mean that they are going to change their work in order necessarily to get it, but they're happy if they do get it.
