Musicians communicate in other ways. That's just something you rely on.

There are those who make music and movies in a linear way: They plan them, they have a script. Of course, you have to have a script sometimes, but that alone isn't enough.

The environment is rarely put on tape, or if it is, it's so abstract that most people never realize it. They just don't know what it means. But if you can show it to them, then that's what becomes the main instrument.

If you can't get yourself understood, you may have trouble, so you need some interpretation every now and again wherever you might be.

I have to think that somewhere on some little island in the Pacific, there's someone's who's great, but I'm probably never going to hear him.

Needless to say, you've got to have someone who can speak for you.

I always think you should push your envelope every chance you get.
