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

I'm not an intellectual composer.

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

I see myself as a composer who plays music and likes to play with other people, and not just as a solo artist.

I've always been a composer dependent on texts.

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

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

I may not be a first-rate composer, but I am a first-class second-rate composer.
