As soon as you impose Western chords on an Indian scale, something great collapses.

I think It's a bit of a disappointment that a lot of people's Golden Age of music is still the '60s.

Maybe I'm used to religious music being gentler in the classical world.

I suppose subconsciously I was thinking in terms of having the scale of it matching the scale of the images. Hence the sort of string quartet, jazz band and electronic stuff.

I suppose all of us - we have the old Protestant work ethic of feeling guilty when you're not working, and getting a buzz from feeling like you're really busy. That's the reason to sort of carry on.

Every American college student goes to college with a hard drive. They take their laptop. There's not a CD player in sight.

As I kid, I was always jealous of the music that my favorite bands had written - but not really of how they played. So I'd daydream about having written songs, and this way above being able to perform them.
