I've never set out consciously to write American music. I don't know what that would be unless the obvious Appalachian folk references.
I don't really know what inspires me to write the music I do, but usually, the music will set the tone for the lyrics.
Minimalism now is a reaction to what came before. It's absolutely of its time. Music moved into the set theory thing, and moved out of it.
I would like to do something autobiographical, set to music. I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I'm going to try.

No matter how many goals you have achieved, you must set your sights on a higher one.
All these boundaries - Africa, Asia, Malaysia, America - are set by men. But you don't have to look at boundaries when you are looking at a man - at the character of a man. The question is: What do you stand for? Are you a follower, or are you a lead...
The Farrelly brothers make movies the way you imagine a movie set would be when you're a kid - fun all the time.
When you make successful movies, everyone on set takes care of you, everybody is so nice and you disconnect from reality.
When I felt like an outsider, movies made me feel inside my own skill set.
When your actions come from a positive mindset, your outcome blossoms!
The pitcher setting up the batter. It's chess, and you play with it.
With a kiss let us set out for an unknown world.
Set your sights so high that even failure has in it an echo of glory.
Set out from any point. They are all alike. They all lead to a point of departure.
Bloom County was set in a tidy, rural environment probably because of Harper Lee's 'To Kill a Mockingbird.'
Perhaps the most difficult thing is shooting scenes set 6,000 feet up in the mountains of Mexico.
It's an odd thing to go to New York to shoot a movie that is set in Indiana.
I had no intention of pursuing either the characters or the setting further.
With enough hope, you can set a fire to find the way out of the darkness.
