People ask me how I make music. I tell them I just step into it. It's like stepping into a river and joining the flow. Every moment in the river has its song.

I think the best moments in music are when you're completely surprised.

It's on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.
