I consider myself a composer.

I'm not an intellectual composer.

I've always been a composer dependent on texts.

As a composer, I'm basically trying to represent myself through my music in an honest way.

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

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

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 still getting used to being called a composer. A poseur, maybe.
