As artists, I think that one of the good qualities we have is that we're imaginative. We're resourceful. We like challenges.

My partner sometimes liked to go into the studio and improvise voice things just for fun. When I returned from England I transcribed one of her melodies, and had some of the hospice participants sing it, because they said they liked to sing. Their singing is very raw, but I'm going to use it for the final work.

I somehow sensed when I was a teenager that I wanted to do my own work. I was quite clear that I didn't want to be an interpretative kind of artist. I had an intuition about wanting to create my own form, in one way or another, whatever that would be.

My music is very, very precise. It's very rigorous. The forms are much more intricate than you would imagine.

Yes, the more I go through life I realize that there's really no separation between practice and art at all. The two things more and more become one rather than two different aspects of my life.

I work in between the cracks, where the voice starts dancing, where the body starts singing, where theater becomes cinema.
