Q: And so the story of the family, including the decaying marriage at the center of it, is really subordinate to your thoughts about time.
A: Yes. You might be the first interviewer who hasn't started out by saying, "You were married to a composer, you have two children, you live in Vermont, so this must be about you." It's not about me. If I were going to write a book about me, believe me, I would say so.
