When I was coming up, I practiced all the time because I thought if I didn't I couldn't do my best.

When synthesizers came along, it was the first time I thought that the two things I loved, which were science and music, could be put together.

A couple of years ago, I came up with the idea for a film that I thought could be interesting, and I took it to a couple of people - nobody professional or anything - but I thought it was kind of cool.

I knew of jazz, but I didn't like it. I always thought only older people liked jazz - you know, you had to be 19 or 20.

I agree with taking the time and respecting the great innovators of the past, but the word innovation would cease to exist if we all do is look at the past.

When the suggestion was made that I might consider doing music of Joni Mitchell, I thought it was a fantastic idea. Joni, I admire not only for her music but for her person, because she's a person that really stands out for what she believes in.
