A symphony must be like the world. It must contain everything.

All these tales of people sitting down and composing symphonies just as though they were writing a letter are very much exaggerated; at least, it isn't that way in my work.

Writing a play, you start with less, so more is demanded of you. It's as if you have to not only write a symphony, but invent the instruments as well.

A symphony is no joke.

My show business career doesn't mean I can't write a symphony. It just means I was never asked to write one.

You stimulate the neo-cortex, it produces a symphony. But it's not just a symphony of perception. It's a symphony of your universe. Your reality.

I also started writing songs because I had this burning activity in my heart and had to express myself.

You can't play a symphony alone, it takes an orchestra to play it.

This is what I want in heaven... words to become notes and conversations to be symphonies.
