When one is an artist, what else can he be?

If I don't practise for one day, I know it; if I don't practise for two days, the critics knows it; if I don't practise for three days, the audience knows it.

If I miss one day of practice, I notice it. If I miss two days, the critics notice it. If I miss three days, the audience notices it.

The very essence of success is practice.

I owe my sucess in one per cent to my talent, in ten per cent to luck, and in ninety per cent to hard word. Work, work, and more work is the secret to success.

I am inclined to believe that some music, like certain poetry, finds its appeal and way to all.

You are a dear soul who plays polo, and I am a poor Pole who plays solo.
