I'm writing a movie about Mozart going to New York in the '60s. I've been reading so many novels.

The only reason we wore sunglasses onstage was because we couldn't stand the sight of the audience.

I missed out on my teenage years. I led a sheltered life. I was practicing scales instead of going out there and playing football.

I am a ham. I've no business being rock 'n' roll. I've said it over and over again that I'm a classical composer, dishevelling my personality by dabbling in rock 'n' roll.

We gave up on the idea of trying to make the record a good representation of the live performance.

I like what the future holds. I don't like thinking about the past.

If I'm interested in what I'm doing, other people will be interested in it.
