Cinematography is infinite in its possibilities... much more so than music or language.

It was all about music, about getting your friends to come and see you play. I don't see that same intimacy happening very much today.

I believe it is in my nature to dance by virtue of the beat of my heart, the pulse of my blood and the music in my mind.

If you like my music, great, and if you don't, whatever. I'm going to keep making it either way.

Oh, I will always be honest with my music. The records are black boxes for me. Like if you want to know who I am, my views, my perspective, things I love, things I hate, my convictions, my anthems. I've never let people's opinions affect the way I write.

Music - that's been my education. There's not a day that goes by that I take it for granted.

I love jazz music and sad music. I'm a sentimental guy. I'm a romantic guy.

Does art have a future? Performance genres like opera, theater, music and dance are thriving all over the world, but the visual arts have been in slow decline for nearly 40 years.

The only love affair I have ever had was with music.
