The musicians who interest me most are people like Nitin Sawhney, Talvin Singh, Django Bates. They are not just writing music but performing it, recording it, putting tours together and running their own labels. That is what real musicians are, rather than over-publicised specialists.

Once you start cancelling, there's always something which is not quite right.

I quite like shutting the door, putting the answering machine on and sitting at the piano for six or seven hours.

Memory is the fear, and I play most of my repertoire from memory.

As a musician you can cover everything. I'm not just a concert pianist.

My favorite composers tend to be great improvisers as well as great players. It doesn't matter whether they're contemporary or classical.
