“When my opera Plump Jack was performed in 1989, my first piano teacher...” — Gordon Getty Quote

“When my opera Plump Jack was performed in 1989, my first piano teacher sent me something that I'd composed when I was four. I remember I played it, and it still sounded like me. I'm the same composer I was then.”

“The Getty family has been fully supportive throughout this situation, and for that, I am very grateful.”

“It's true that I tend to daydream. I'm the same person in business as I am in music: I can be distracted and absentminded. It's my style.”

“It is my job to be composed.”

“Life is a wave, which in no two consecutive moments of its existence is composed of the same particles.”

“Life is composed of different inventions.”
