“Arriving at a simple piece of music is a very difficult balance becaus...” — Ludovico Einaudi Quote

“Arriving at a simple piece of music is a very difficult balance because, in being simple, you could easily be banal, so maybe it's more difficult to write a simple piece of music than a 12-tone piece where no one understands exactly what it is about.”

“All my life, my heart has felt closer to rock n' roll.”

“You can put the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in the same category, but the types of music, the colors each band evokes, are completely different. It's the same with Mozart and Beethoven - they express two very different aspects of music.”

“My grandmother and I followed my mother here, to a house a block north of Hollywood Boulevard but a million miles away from Hollywood, if you know what I mean. We would hang out behind the ropes and look at the movie stars arriving at the premieres.”

“We've got ballots flying around, being counted by hand, arriving by truck and in God knows whose custody.”

“It doesn't make much difference how the paint is put on as long as something has been said. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.”
