Quote

I began my career with infantile dreams of becoming a composer.

Making music all the time was my dream.

Though I played classical piano since age 5 and sang in a cappella groups, being an artist didn't seem like something I was talented enough to do full time. So I kind of buried that dream.

It was not my dream to be an artist. How could it have been? I thought, artist, much like a leader, was something you either were or weren't. Never something you set out to be.

I was in the army, and I had given up the thought of being a composer.

Never in my wildest dreams did I entertain the idea that I would become a fashion designer.

In my next lifetime, I want to come back as a composer.

When you're a fashion photographer, you must inspire a dream.

I dream of a collaboration that would finally be total, in which the librettist would often think as a composer and the composer as a librettist.
