I have a very strange melodic gift: melodies come to me effortlessly.

Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning On an ever-spinning reel As the images unwind Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind.

"The more I live, the more I learn The more I learn, the more I realize, the less I know"

I insist on a Steinway for my recordings, my concerts and my home. It is the only piano I want to hear my music played on.

So I write melodies - thirty, forty, fifty - then I cast them off until I have just two or three. If only one is needed, I go see the director and ask him to decide.

Here is how I work: when I think that a film needs to have a principal theme, I search for a melody.

I would listen to something on the radio and try to tap out the melody, then the harmonies.

To play piano is a significant part of my life, my existence. It fulfills a very physical & spiritual need for me.

The more I live, the more I learn. The more I learn, the more I realize, the less I know.

He brought out the worst in me, and was the best thing that ever happened to me.

May you make time to relax and be refreshed.

The sense of love should not like coffee, which only gives pleasure to the enjoy. But it must be like oranges which not only give pleasure but also freshness.

Don’t allow your life to become just a dead ritual. Let there be moments, unexplainable.

I get to go to work and FaceTime my friends and family and go, "Hey, I'm just showing you around my spaceship!" It's great to be able to do that. I'm having a ball!

At the Apple store, the people waiting in line for the iPhone 6 were trampled by the people waiting for the iPhone 7.

You know those balls that they put on car antennas so you can find them in the parking lot? Those should be on every car!

Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you've got.

As we grow older, our capacity for enjoyment shrinks, but not our appetite for it.

Books and movies inspire me, but I do my best to keep my stories as original as possible.
