It's true that I tend to daydream. I'm the same person in business as I am in music: I can be distracted and absentminded. It's my style.

I don't think events in your life affect your music.

I feel that I belong to the 19th century. Some composers' music is very topical. It almost says, 'This is about what I read in newspapers yesterday.' Not mine.

I see only adaptations - not revolutions.

I just have to take my chances like any other composer.

When my opera Plump Jack was performed in 1989, my first piano teacher sent me something that I'd composed when I was four. I remember I played it, and it still sounded like me. I'm the same composer I was then.

I want to make the world better.

I'm a terrible singer, but it helps when I have to call a taxi.

My music is all about an idealistic human personality. I have 19th-century ideals.

I do not think that music keeps evolving. It evolved through Bach; since then, in my humble opinion, all the innovations added nothing.
