I believe that a truly valuable artist must be an artist who realizes the impossibility of his task -and then continues to do it.

I can't even tolerate my own playing on electric keyboards. It's not about the musical ideas - the sound itself is toxic. It's like eating plastic broccoli.

One thing you learn: if you want to reveal yourself, you also have to know where to stop.

When you're up against an electric band like that, it's like you're on two separate planets.

I'm my own most merciless critic onstage.

Music always turns into music. As soon as I play a key, push a key down, there's no theory any more. When I go and I hear a sound on the keyboard, all theories go out the window.

I am a romantic, I admit it.
