All things make sense; you just have to fathom how they make sense.

It's one of the things that looks good written down, but the reality is that you think about the pieces you're doing and try to bear in mind everyone in the audience.

The ideal, it seems to me, is to show things happening and allow the reader to decide what they mean.

You've got to keep your finger on the pulse of what your audience is thinking, and know what they'll accept from you.

I do insist on making what I hope is sense so there's always a coherent narrative or argument that the reader can follow.

I think it's insulting to an audience to make them sit and watch a film and then give them a message in one sentence.

You have to make decisions - you know what you think. That doesn't mean the audience are aware of your decisions or what you think - the lines you're saying may have ambiguity.

It's better for the listener to interpret their own meanings to the music.

You're assisting the audience to understand; you're giving them a bridge or an access. And if you don't give them that, if you keep it more abstract, it's almost more pure. It's a cooler thing.
