One does not devote one's life in art to shock an audience.

I see within us all (myself included) the replacement of complex inner density with a new kind of self—evolving under the pressure of information overload and the technology of the ‘instantly available’.

I'm there to make a kind of theatrical music that is desperately missing in my life. And if other people don't like it, I'm very unhappy, but I can't do anything about that.

I've been trying to figure out for at least the last 10 years how to force myself into something more risky.

One does not devote one's life in art to shock an audience.

There is no work of art that has ever been made that is absolutely truthful about life.

Understand--it ALWAYS makes sense. Sense can't be avoided. If it first seems to be non-sense, wait: roots will reveal themselves.
