I like to combine the dramatic emotional warmth of strings with the grooves and body business of drums and bass.

Interventions are really emotionally exhausting and I would never ever want to have one. In the same way I would never want to have a surprise birthday party. That would be horrible.

I don't know why it's the same reason why you like some music and you don't like others. There's something about it that you like. Ultimately I don't find it's in my best interests to try and analyze it since it's fundamentally emotional.

I owe much to mother. She had an expert's understanding but also approached art emotionally.

It seems almost backwards to me that my music seems the more emotional outlet and the art stuff seems more about ideas.

Piano playing is a dying art. I love the fact that I can be one guy with one instrument evoking an emotional and musical experience.

My house is my refuge an emotional piece of architecture not a cold piece of convenience.

We can't forget what happened on May 4th 1970 when four students gave up their lives because they had the American constitutional right of peaceful protest. They gave up their lives. And to sing that song in that spot on that anniversary was very emotional for us.

In the final analysis the incident is seen as originating from an emotional expression of the frustration and anger of the proud people of China who had been subject to ever increasing oppression from without and decadent corruption from within.

I realised one day that men are emotional cripples. We can't express ourselves emotionally we can only do it with anger and humour. Emotional stability and expression comes from women.
