My biggest problem about writing is whenever I write piano pieces, because I then have to learn to play them, which is sometimes not so easy.

I'd say it's just part of the world that we live in; it's part of the music world.

I like the idea that [Mahatma] Gandhi is appearing now in an opera hall in all these different places, and people kind of think about it again.

I find that people can’t find you. It’s kind of quiet. When I go to a city, I can almost always get a piano if I need one. So there’s something nice about being on the road and focusing on something you want to do.

I always knew what I wanted to do and I did it.

There's almost no content in terms of language at all. I don't like using language to convey meaning. I'd rather use images and music.

A new language requires a new technique. If what you're saying doesn't require a new language, then what you're saying probably isn't new.
