The greatest explorer on this earth never takes voyages as long as those of the man who descends to the depth of his heart.

A scrupulous man will never produce a great novel.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

Composers, like authors, have a lot in common. Our main goal is to connect with the listener emotionally.
