I think about that "empty" space a lot. That emptiness is what allows for something to actually evolve in a natural way. I've had to learn that over the years - because one of the traps of being an artist is to always want to be creating, always wanting to produce.

(There is) art that states the problems of society and wakes people up to make changes in their lives or in their communities,...art that offers an alternative, that demonstrates human behavior that can become a model for creativity, cooperation, freedom and playfulness, and...art that in itself provides glimpses of a larger consciousness or reflects upon the inexplicable.

Curiosity is a great antidote to fear.

When you start worrying about form, then you're not in the moment.

That inner voice has both gentleness and clarity. So to get to authenticity, you really keep going down to the bone, to the honesty, and the inevitability of something.

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

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