“I think we have a lot in common with classical composers of the 19th century, although I'm not claiming to have their intelligence. They wanted to create a musical explosion, to blow the crowd away.”
“When I dabble in watching the news and reading about current events, I tend to get a future negative view, and that's something I've dealt with through music. It's quite possible I'm slightly paranoid. But I'd say making music is an expression of feelings of helplessness and lack of control that I think a lot of people can relate to.”
“The guitar has become a textural instrument rather than a lead instrument. And I think that's probably a good thing.”
“I do think if all politicians were women, the world would be a better place.”
“Rachmaninov has some kind of weird dark edge to his music which I don't think I've heard with any other kind of music before.”
