"You don't underestimate either players or audience in any circumstances."
Circumstance
"The establishment in Britain is certainly against the arts and against education. If something doesn't make a profit, it's invalid, and art doesn't make a profit in that sense."
Art

Time

Audience
"I know what I want at least, and the older I get I think I'm better at getting it out of players and singers."

"I'm very interested, for instance, in music in education - getting young people not only to listen to, but participate in the music that I write. I consider this one of the most vital aspects of my work."

Music
"I recently did a piece for the Boston Pops and John Williams, and I hope that it's as well a composed piece as I've ever done for any other medium or occasion."
