[Bach is the] reason I became a musician

I don't approve of people who watch television, but I am one of them.

The nature of the contrapuntal experience is that every note has to have a past and a future on the horizontal plane.

The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenaline but rather the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity.

One does not play the piano with one's fingers, one plays the piano with one's mind.

Once I turned pro, so to speak, I put away childish things forever.

I believe that the only excuse we have for being musicians and for making music in any fashion, is to make it differently, to perform it differently, to establish the music's difference, vis-a-vis our own difference.
