“I had given thought to acting, but I never really had a good enough opportunity or a character who made sense and paralleled my life a little bit.

“An artist is somebody that puts themselves in a room, they're a wee bit self-indulgent and you know, sink into their music and it [will] be a very personal experience.

“First of all I have to ask myself what am I trying to say and who am I trying to tell the story to. So if it's just 300 words going in the Independent it's very much where, what, who and when - fantastic. If there's a little bit more scope, if I've been given 1500 words by the sports editor, and I can have a little bit of fun, then I need to maybe entertain, include some different stuff.” IfsNeedsTryingFirstsLittlesI CanDifferentStoriesAsksGivenFunStuffBitsSportsLittle BitIndependentFantasticEditorsScope Author:Steve Bunce
“Once you can understand something in a way that you can shove it into a computer, you have cracked its code, transcended any particularity it might have at a given time.

“As James Surowiecki noted in a New Yorker article, given a choice between developing antibiotics that people will take every day for two weeks and antidepressants that people will take every day for ever, drug companies not surprisingly opt for the latter.

“Eric's performance is an awesome and entirely honest expression of the pain and beauty of his music. To watch him play is like riding on the tail of a dragon, but he is so gentle with his rider, you forget how high up you are or how intense the ride is. He is perhaps the most generous performer I have ever watched, every bit of himself is given to the audience. He's like a Marina Abramovic with a piano, completely and deeply committed, regardless of that pain.” PlayPainGivenBitsForgetWatchesAudienceHonestExpressionPerformancesCommittedIntenseGentlePianoGenerousDragonsPerformersRidingTailsRidersEric Author:Tea Leoni
