I was once married to a woman who could eat anything and tell you what was in it: the most complicated recipes. Her memory of taste - now that`s what I call memory!
I want to give my compliments to Australia. Ever since your government paid a few million dollars for a Jackson Pollack painting, I figure that it must be a marvellous country.
I never feel that my music is sparse or minimalist; the way fat people never really think they`re fat. I certainly don`t consider myself minimalist at all.
For me it`s the instrument. If I want to think of a flute and the state of the arts I hear a vibrato; I don`t know what a flute is unless the person plays it for me.
