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 just have to take my chances like any other composer.

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

I consider myself a composer.

Originally, I wanted to be a composer. I always tell people, 'I think of myself as a composer.'

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.

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

I feel very free and very happy to be a composer.

I don't really call myself a composer.
