I have one guy that I really have to talk to once a day, and if I don't talk to him once a day, I really feel like something is not completed. This is, like, an attraction story.

When you have humor, you have a base for collaboration. It is very important.

I'm much better at saying something on the answering machine than texting.

You never know what you're going to share. I can play, I know what is written - the marks, the things the composer tells me to do - and I do it, but it will still sound different each day.

People can text with two hands and are so fast and I am not... I just have that one person I want to talk to.

I always talk about the hierarchy of art, and I always put music on the top of everything, because it's so immaterial.

Musical talent is maybe something, but there are no unmusical people. You're moved by music. It's total rubbish to say, "Oh, I'm unmusical." It doesn't exist; it's ridiculous.
