I Think The Purpose Of A Piece

I Think There Are So Many Ways To Become Interested In Music. I Believe Signs Of Sustained Interest Gives A Sense Of The Right Time. Music, If Thought Of As A Language, Would Perhaps Indicate That As Early As Possible Is Not So Bad. I Do Believe That A Really Nurturing First Teacher That Makes The Child Love Something Is Crucial.

I Think The Purpose Of A Piece Of Music Is Significant When It Actually Lives In Somebody Else. A Composer Puts Down A Code, And A Performer Can Activate The Code In Somebody Else. Once It Lives In Somebody Else, It Can Live In Others As Well.

People Will Ask, 'are You Famous?' And I Always Answer, 'my Mother Thinks So.'

When Your Heart And Your Mind Are Engaged, You Cannot Go Wrong.

My Involvement In The Political Arena Is To Make Sure There's A Place For Culture.
