We're not on the outside looking in, we're on the outside looking out.

People sometimes have a very hard time accepting change.

You need to believe in something that's bigger than yourself. I think that's what everybody wants to believe in that.

I have no doubts. I know what gets in the way and I know what encourages me to do more work.

I put together the influences of my life in as clear a way as I possibly can, in the same way that Beethoven or Schoenberg or Bach put their influences together.

I feel like there are messages. I feel like there are angels. I feel that there is a legacy and an energy. And I feel that it's possible to tap into that.

I create work, and I devote myself to the creative process, and I try to stay pure in that process and be worthy of the messages that I receive. You can't sit down and write 300 compositions in a three-month period and think that you're doing it all by yourself.
