“I might say that what amateurs call a style is usually only the unavoidable awkwardnesses in first trying to make something that has not heretofore been made. Almost no new classics resemble other previous classics. At first people see only the awkwardness. Then they are not so perceptible.

When I was 19, I joined a rock band, and that's when I began to say, "Okay, this is something that I could take seriously."”
