There’s a kind of edge to what you’re doing, the kind of leading edge of what you’re doing.

The thing that obsesses me more than anything is waste – the waste of human intelligence and creativity.

Most of those melodies are me trying to find out what notes fit, and then hitting ones that don’t fit in a very interesting way.

People who are very confident in themselves aren’t hurt by criticism. They make use of it.
