Why write for the orchestra? For one thing it's a very challenging problem.

I like to do one thing at a time and do it to the best of my ability.

Multitasking? I can't even do two things at once. I can't even do one thing at once.

Talking about a materialistic thing, I get about 13 times more royalties from Europe than I do from America.

Everybody is doing the same old thing.

The biggest problem is always getting hits. That's the one thing that has never changed. The way of delivering music has changed, the way of listening to it has changed, the way of distributing it has changed, but it's always the music.
