“If I was feeling down, I'd play a Nick Drake record and feel better.”

“I like to think that the strings are the cushion on which the vocal lies.”

“The first time I heard 'River Man,' I was just floored. I went straight back to my room, and wrote the arrangement.”

“With Nick, it was all instinctive. He didn't know technically what he wanted, but he knew the sound he wanted in his head.”

“My main function is to serve the song and the artist.”
