If something doesn't work, it becomes obvious immediately. This just isn't going to work.

Magic is what we do, music is how we do it.

You don't want to be the best at what you do, you want to be the only one.

If you're able to enjoy something, to devote your life to it or a reasonable amount of time and energy, it will work out for you.

Listening. That's what music is about. You hear it. And I'd listen to it and something would move me one way or another; and I would try and play it.

It's not enough to be the best at what you do. You must be perceived as the only one who does what you do.

I'm not trying to clock scores in this lifetime, it's just that things are better now than they were like five, ten years ago. Music has gotten a lot better. There's a lot of people who are committed to - soulfully.
