As far as my solo record, I don't want a gold record or anything, I'm happy to be small and to have the people appreciate the music who really like me for being me.

What I have to say to an inhabitant of the Earth in one hundred years is similar to what I have to say to the present inhabitants of Earth. To be creative.

I don't have an extensive background in theory, but the amount of it that I've learned, I've applied, so I have a vocabulary of melodic and rhythmic relationships. And that's all theory is - it's symbols to help you identify those relationships.

I'm not interested in meeting people's expectations, and I'm not interested in pleasing people.

But I have been avoiding talking about what I'm doing now because it's frustrating for people to hear about things that aren't available yet.

I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.

So I use a tape recorder a lot to record ideas.
