If you have more money than you need, you have to give it away. It's a duty. I get to choose whom to sponsor, and I like to give to the areas that I know something about.

I want to make the world better.

It's true that I tend to daydream. I'm the same person in business as I am in music: I can be distracted and absentminded. It's my style.

My father was so much more than an accomplished businessman.

I personally do not write highbrow music. If I do, it's by accident.

The Getty family has been fully supportive throughout 'double life' situation, and for that, I am very grateful.

My music is all about an idealistic human personality. I have 19th-century ideals.
