I’ve got this theory that human beings are innately religious; we have a belief system. It doesn’t have to be a theist form, necessarily. But we need a belief system, some framework on which to hang our behavior Picture Quote #1

There is a theory that creativity arises when individuals are out of sync with their environment.

My mother was an economics professor. I’m proficient in math, and statistics, game theory, symbolic logic and all of that Picture Quote #1

Observation and theory get on best when they are mixed together, both helping one another in the pursuit of truth. It is a good rule not to put overmuch confidence in a theory until it has been confirmed by observation.

I don’t know anything about music theory at all. Zero. But I don’t really need to Picture Quote #1

Because I have studied it from all sides for many years; because I have examined all objections which have ever been made against the infinite numbers; and above all because I have followed its roots, so to speak, to the first infallible cause of all created things Picture Quote #1

Literary theory has become a parody of science, generating its own arcane jargon. In the process, tragically, it discourages love of literature for its own sake Picture Quote #1

I’m a big fan of simplicity, especially with songs and I try not to make them complicated. I just make them simple and let people absorb that message themselves. That’s my theory Picture Quote #1

I met my wife when we were both 19 or 20, at a music school where she was taking voice and piano lessons and I was doing classes in music theory and composition Picture Quote #1
