I'm not an intellectual composer.

I did the Broadway album unfortunately in a year when there were no hits.

I write emotional music.

When I want 30 musicians in the orchestra, I get 30.

I don't try to make 15 musicians sound like two each.

I aim my arrangements at what will fit and colorfully frame the song in the best way possible.

I was working all the time I was in college. I was working so much that I could hardly do my college work.
