I'm not an intellectual composer.

I wasn't interested in writing music that wasn't beautiful for me to listen to.

That's it really, at the moment I wouldn't say I was influenced by any one thing in particular.

Had I not become entangled with music, I would have become an author much earlier.

Composers are not all good conductors.

I didn't write any music at all, and then, I remember Jon Anderson being very insistent saying that there were two kinds of musicians: the ones who wrote music and the ones who didn't.

I am an interpreter of music rather than a composer of it.

I continued to study Math and Physics on my own, but one and a half years later I realized that I did want to be a composer, and after that I never changed my mind.
