“With a computer, there are too many choices, and I always liked working within limits. You know, if you look at Mozart, who had this strict classical framework - an allegro, an andante, a scherzo and a finale - you see that within that formula, he got results he might never have gotten if he had all the options in the world.”

“I never sold any of my pieces. I had all the money I wanted. Then I would have lost my sculptures and just had more money.”

“At 93, I'm not looking forward to fame and fortune.”

“I don't have a complex mind.”
