I don't really call myself a composer.

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

I am not so complicated or intelligent a composer, nor am I very interested in becoming so. I am much more happy doing what I know I can do than what I am not sure I could do.

I'm not an architectural composer.

I've always been a composer dependent on texts.

I know I'm not musically talented.

I don't use composers. I research music the way I research the photographs or the facts in my scripts.

I'm not really a pianist.
