I think you can appreciate different interpretations. Art is not a contest. I can even appreciate hearing someone play something in a way that I wouldn't.

I think - I'm always interested in reaching people in different ways, not by - not by just standing on a - randomly on a subway platform.

We like to categorize things into showy things and deep things, you know, and things that are high music - important music - and shallow music. And I think that's dangerous, because there's often a mix of both.

I happen to love Saint-Saens in general. I think he's a brilliant composer and sometimes underrated in a way because people like to pass him off as fluffy and not being serious.

I think that music is still art, even if it's commercialised.

If I'm in an uncomfortable situation, I think I can say something funny to defuse it. Sometimes you can't.
