Nature Is Our Chapel.

For A Person As Obsessed With Music As I Am, I Always Hear A Song In The Back Of My Head, All The Time, And That Usually Is My Own Tune. I've Done That All My Life.

[as A Kid] I Felt It Was Really Weird That Music Schools Behaved Like A Conveyor Belt To Make Performers For Those Symphony Orchestras. If You Were Really Good And Practiced Your Violin For A Few Hours A Day For Ten Years You Might Be Invited To This Vip Elite Club. For Me Music Was Not About That. It Is About Freedom And Expression And Individuality And Impulsiveness And Spontaneity. It Wasn't So Apollonian; It Was More Dionysian.

Nature Is Our Chapel.

Sometimes, When I Have A Lot Of Ideas And I Want To Do A Lot Of Things, Or When I'm Traveling, I Lose Energy And I Can't Do As Many Things As I Want. So I Have To Plan Days When I'm Not Doing Anything. I Find That A Bit Boring, But It's Necessary.

I Would Like To Teach Music. It's Weird The Way They Teach Music In Schools Like Julliard These Days.
