“Everyone wants immediate success, immediate celebrity, and that doesn't produce what used to be artists.”

“Mozart is expressing something that is more than human.”

“Conducting has more to do with singing and breathing than with piano-playing.”

“The song, 'Life is Better,' is about hip-hop. It's about my love for hip-hop. And, you know, I go through all the artists from the beginning to the end, you know. And, well, not to the end, but since the beginning to now, you know.”

“To express your emotions, you have to be very loose and receptive. The unconscious will come to you if you have that gift that artists have. I only know if I'm inspired by the results.”
