If you think about how long it takes to write a piece of music for an orchestra, it's outrageous to me, outrageous.

Frank [Zappa] always wanted to do a sound library - he sampled so many great musicians. For piano, for example, he sampled every octave, not just one (that you could just transpose electronically), and he did all different types of attack, with and without pedals, all that kind of stuff.

I don't think there's a problem with people discovering the music unless there's no way to get to them. That's the problem that you always have.

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.

Frank [Zappa] was not a big fan of having lyrics, but sometimes he had things to say that lent themselves to lyrics.

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