I am quite certain in my heart of hearts that modern music and modern art is not a conspiracy, but is a form of truth and integrity for those who practise it honestly, decently and with all their being.
I think we're all pretty odd.
Conductors don't suffer, they are part of the performance.
Nature has different times.
I'm outside the music I've made. I have no interest in it.
I've seldom become nostalgic or settled.
