I never dreamed that my future would be my husband's past. But it's such a huge past in terms of the recorded content.

The problem with composers is that they are the most unrequired job in America.

When I put out the records, when I make a distribution deal, those distributors tell me who they sell it to and how many copies. So I want nothing less.

I think ingenuity is part of our DNA. That plus curiosity, plus the willingness to commit.

Musicians more than most people are in the moment. That's the dual nature of that job.

When you have a single composer writing his work, it shouldn't be doled out in singles based on the length of a piece.

Live concerts were to train the ears and to introduce, constantly, new musical ideas to the audience so the next time they showed up or the next record they would be ready and receptive.
