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

I'm not an intellectual composer.

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.

Well, thats the secret of commerciality, a simple style and you stick with it.

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

I've never believed in cheapening music by going according to what some people think is public taste.
