In the end it doesn't matter what you do.

One thing I've tried to do in writing music is take on very basic things, very archetypal things.

I don't have ideas so much as there are things which constantly evolve... there are various threads or layers, if you like, which change.

I'm not an architectural composer.

When I was a kid, I wrote music - from the age of 11 until the age of 18.

The thing about influence is that any composer worth anything will give you the same names.

Music is such a problem in the time it takes.
