When I started to pick up the bass, it was purely by random chance.

I am a classical music lover - not necessarily the contemporary stuff, but the old stuff.

I realized pretty soon that I have to do more than just play bass in the background way. So, I developed a kind of playing which only a handful of musicians accepted.

I like to create the music I hear in my interior. As a conductor, you have the ability to squeeze the sounds and interpretation you asked for from 50 to 80 people.

It's better to finish at the peak or soon after it, than to wait until the audience notices a decline.

It is probably very necessary to present your ego at some point.

The way to compose for me is to have lots of time.

As a result, I had to get my own playground which was my band Colours. This band lasted for about eight years and then the air was out of it and it was time to finish.

I'd asked around 10 or 15 people for suggestions. Finally one lady friend asked the right question, 'Well, what do you love most?' That's how I started painting money.

Seem like a lot of people wear shoes they can't walk in.

All I care about these days is painting — photography has never been more than a way into painting, a sort of instant drawing.

Give me the clear blue sky above my head, and the green turf beneath my feet, a winding road before me, and a three hours' march to dinner - and then to thinking!

Though completely armed with knowledge and endowed with power, we are blind and impotent in a world we have equipped and organized-a world of which we now fear the inextricable complexity.

Lyrics are coming to you all the time. I get inspiration in the middle of the night.

And you take care, too, Shahara. Remember the lies we tell ourselves to survive seldom bring peace to our souls. (Nero)

I'm a micro-celebrity, about as small a celebrity as you can be.
