With the piano I'm completely in control of the gestural situation-not that I'm going to play the piece myself, but I know what's difficult, what's impossible.

I probably went to musique concrete concerts - though not the very first ones - at the beginning of the 50s.

Boulez seemed to me to be a guy who wrote laws. Like a company lawyer.

I have problems with machines which aren't gestural.

I was born in Paris, and I haven't moved, except until now - I live in the suburbs and I hate it.
