Music is on a higher plane than everything else in this world.
No one ever erected a statue of a critic.
No statue has ever been put up to a critic.
For me, music begins where words end.
If you really put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price. Pay no attention to what the critics say. A statue has never been erected in honor of a critic.
Music is, for me, like a beautiful mosaic which God has put together. He takes all the pieces in his hand, throws them into the world, and we have to recreate the picture from the pieces.
