I think every album you have to stretch further and further, give people another piece of you. But then I always try to deviate from the norm.

I thought it would stretch out further than September, but I don't think it will.

I think that teaching coaches are the norm now.

If you're writing a piece for the Boston Pops, the balance is towards one end. If you're writing a piece for a chamber music society, then it's towards another point. I won't make a final answer on that. I think it changes with every piece.

If people don't think I can fall into what the norm is, that's their problem and not mine. I'm not the norm; I'm not deluded.

I think if you retire from touring then people think you are retired.
