If You Remember Your Lineage, You Will

I'm Interested In What Happens To Music When Other People Use It. Whereas There Are Composers Who Don't Like Anyone To Touch Their Music, I Think People Should Because They Do Things I Can't Think Of.

What Came To Me As A Revelation Was The Use Of Rhythm In Developing An Overall Structure In Music.

I Think It's A Great Handicap To Be Discovered At An Early Age. I Didn't Have That Burden Of Early Success. I Had The Much More Livable And Durable Career Where Success Comes Late, And Comes Slowly, And You Ease Into It. So By The Time It Comes, You're Ready To Deal With It.

I'd Say The Differences Are More Interesting Than The Similarities At This Point. Certainly No One Would Ever Mistake My Music For Steve's [ Reich].

I, As A Young Guy Getting Out Of Music School, I Didn't Like The Prospect Of Spending My Life Writing Music For About 200 People.
