Thanks for posting links! He's a brilliant observer and incredibly interesting (and quotable) person.

"The truth is overrated"
"You have to work with people that know how to trick you"
"Culture is a living thing. It has to be allowed to be exposed to things without it being an accident."
"My wife had this melody on a tape recorder, just something she sang in the car or wherever, all by herself-- [sings a melody]. Like that. And I just rescued it from oblivion."
"You can't just say we'll get to it when we get to it because other things will take the place of it."
"If you're in the middle of the ocean with no flippers and no life preserver and you hear a helicopter, this is music. You have to adjust to your needs at the moment."
