Once You Get Over The First Hill,

I Went To Work One Morning, And Outside My Door Was Cindy Crawford In A Black Bra, And I Thought That Very Clearly The Building Is Making Progress In Integrating Itself Into Various Layers Of Our Culture.

If You Think Of The History, In The Days Of Brahms And Beethoven And All These Guys, Almost Every Concert Was A New Music Concert. To Play Something Old Was Really An Exception.

I Think We Still Do Have A Pr Problem In The Sense That These Institutions Portray Themselves Quite Often As A Museum Without The Contemporary Wing. For A Young Cutting-edge Person, Why Would You Get Into That Sort Of Business, Which Is Very Clearly Geared Towards Dead Or Almost Dead People?

I Feel Very Free And Very Happy To Be A Composer.

I'm Still Disturbed If A Chord Isn't Together, But Your Priorities Change As You Get Older.
