I do a lot of challenges I run marathons and stuff like that and I like to challenge myself.

I really want to make physical things so that the experience is a real experience and not just conceptual.

When you narrow down your range and are looking through just that narrow aperture of the lens, the intensity of what you see is so much greater.

Socially in my alliances I wanted to just have a strong alliance and making decisions but not putting it out there but letting other people be the target in that way. I think it worked until I should not have been playing that way anymore.

The piano is a bit of a monster because it is this center of Western music and so much has been done with it and it is a fixed pitch instrument. It is a bit like trying to paint because there is the weight of all that has been done before.

Sometimes you talk to people who really don't know anything about your work, and what can you say?

If you think too much in the music you are too late.
