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.

There are no musically untalented people.

If an artist tells you "this is an oak tree," then it better be an oak tree. It's how you proclaim things; if you say "the silence is the music," then it's the music.

When I play, what I see are people who mean something to me, both positively and negatively. It's my private life, in a way, what I see, and this is what I share.

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

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

I think after music is performance because it is also an immaterial form of art, and then there's everything else.
