I don't want to wear my compositional tools on my sleeve.

I'm a terrible pessimist... I really don't think we're going to make it. But every so often, there's some little ray of hope.

We get more dangerous as we accumulate knowledge, and that's both a sadness and something to control, try to learn to live with, make terms with.

Three days in a city now and I'm quite flipped. There's too much noise. I just can't do with it.

Infrastructure investment can boost economic growth and employment, and, in fact, it is fiscally neutral.

We put out press releases to tell people what had happened to me and that I had a large weight gain but a lot of people still didn't know. The ones that didn't know were floored. That was a real humbling experience for me.
