Quotes

 * It still starts the same way - with a piano.I use technology but don't really rely upon it.I think it should be part of the process,not the entire process.
 * Joe Hisaishi, who wrote music for Hayao Miyazaki's films,South China Morning Post


 * I actually don't like playing the piano or conducting the orchestra.There is always an exchange of energies,which is not even.It's one against 80.
