Paradise Is exactly like Where you are right now Only much much Better.

I realized why movie scores are mostly strings, because it really frees your eyes to look around.

People only stutter at the beginning of the word. They're not afraid when they get to the end of the word. There's just regret.

It's just such a great miracle when things do work, and they work for such a wild variety of crazy reasons.

Audiences, whether they're seeing a film or a reading or whatever it is, a concert, they decide very quickly what kind of show it is, and then they judge it. They judge the rest of the thing by whether it conforms to their rules for what a good symphony orchestra would be.

I so much appreciate it when anybody tries to make something and tries to be an artist - I'm happy to see the work.

My work is more about trying to ask good questions and not trying to come up with big shows. Every fashion company is doing that, every car company is doing that.
