It's a real joy to be moved by something, but it doesn't happen often to me.

My desire was never to be famous. It was to try and create something interesting musically if I could.

My father was always playing the piano. He played all kinds of music - Gershwin, all kinds of stuff. He was really a hugely encouraging force to me when I was little.

I'm not vanishing into thin air.

Numbers are really fascinating things, and they do play a big part in our lives. They are a language of their own.

Don't fall for a magic wand, we humans got it all, we perform the miracles.

I saw Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd, which I thought was a masterpiece. Not that long ago, I listened to Blackstar by David Bowie and thought that was a masterpiece. Those are two incredibly talented people who've left their mark with us.
