Music always turns into music. As soon as I play a key, push a key down, there's no theory any more. When I go and I hear a sound on the keyboard, all theories go out the window.

The way I think about the practicing, it is my undercover work.

If you already have a piece of music ingrained in your body, why would you not play it?

I cannot say what I think is right about Music. I only know the rightness of it.

Ideally, I'd like to be the eternal novice, for then only the surprises would be endless.

All men are created equal. After that, it's up to you.

Studying anthropology, I developed a kind of holistic view of human existence, in which the dichotomies you listed are all necessary and vital aspects of life.

I think most people associate me with my dad.

I'm interested in the Gothic novel because it's very much a woman's form. Why is there such a wide readership for books that essentially say, 'Your husband is trying to kill you'?

This was an era where I was going out every night seeing Sparks, Berlin, Duran Duran, and Split Enz. Amazing acts doing really weird stuff, and I was very open to music and letting it transform me.

When your thinking thoughts pass, you will be in the clear sky of your mind.
