Tags: Beginning, Meaning, MusicI do not think that music keeps evolving. It evolved through Bach; since then, in my humble opinion, all the innovations added nothing.
Tags: Humble, Music, OpinionI've had every advantage in the world, despite the 18 years of silence which were nobody's fault but mine.
Tags: Advantage, Nobody, SilenceIt's true that I tend to daydream. I'm the same person in business as I am in music: I can be distracted and absentminded. It's my style.
Tags: Business, Music, TrueMy father was so much more than an accomplished businessman.
Tags: FatherMy music is all about an idealistic human personality. I have 19th-century ideals.
Tags: Human, Ideals, MusicNicolette, Kendalle, and Alexandra are my children. Their mother, Cynthia Beck, and I, love them very much.
Tags: Children, Love, MotherThe Getty family has been fully supportive throughout this situation, and for that, I am very grateful.
Tags: Family, Grateful, SituationThere is no change - I'm as deep or as shallow as I ever was. What's new is on-the-job experience. This is what you gain with years.
Tags: Change, Deep, ExperienceBoth parents were very encouraging - especially my father. My father thought the sun rose and set with me. Neither one had a musical background or any musical talent. They liked classical music, but neither could carry a tune.
Tags: Father, Music, ParentsI feel that I belong to the 19th century. Some composers' music is very topical. It almost says, 'This is about what I read in newspapers yesterday.' Not mine.
Tags: Almost, Music, ReadI was in Paris at an English-language bookstore. I picked up a volume of Dickinson's poetry. I came back to my hotel, read 2,000 of her poems and immediately began composing in my head. I wrote down the melodies even before I got to a piano.
Tags: Her, Poetry, ReadI've managed to dodge the curse. Not all my family have. Of course, music helped me - music is all about civilization, about something worthwhile. It's all about ideas.
