“My own position is, that it is largely up to the work itself to suggest the nature of these referential points without dimensions in and through the processes by which the distance between them is maintained.”

“I frequently compose out the entire metric structure of a piece in modified cyclic form, where each cyclic revolution undergoes some form of 'variation' much as if measure lengths were concrete musical 'material.'”

“What makes a specific quality or quantity of innovation retain its intense newness over the years?”

“In my model, important interference phenomena arise when individual strata come into contact. These chaotic fluctuations are, I suppose, what my music is really 'about.'”

“I am certainly not arguing for the de facto autonomy of the individual work, even though there is much to be said for making the attempt to see it in that light as one facet of the reception process.”

“Life has its dimensions in the mysterious.”

“Yoga means union, in all its significances and dimensions.”

“Every now and then a man's mind is stretched by a new idea or sensation, and never shrinks back to its former dimensions.”

“As of now, string theorists have no explanation of why there are three large dimensions as well as time, and the other dimensions are microscopic. Proposals about that have been all over the map.”

“When you're pitching movies, sometimes you know what the idea is, but you fully don't know the dimensions of it.”

“I think a playwright realizes after he finishes working on the script that this is only the beginning. What will happen when it moves into three dimensions?”
