"The reason conservatives cohere and radicals fight is that everyone agrees about fears, no one about visions."
"Nearly all the things I do that are of any merit at all start off just being good fun."
 " Composition is a way of living out your philosophy and calling it art."


"Cooking is a way of listening to the radio."

"I'm always grumbling when I produce, but it's the people who are dissatisfied that get things changed."
 "As struggles go, being an artist isn't that much of one."
