Mastery is playing whatever you're capable of playing-every time-WITHOUT THINKING.

Music can shoot through the musician like lightening through the sky if that music is unobstructed by thoughts.

Mastery is playing whatever you're capable of playing-every time-WITHOUT THINKING.

I never call myself modern or traditional, in our out, new or used, because I prefer not to be hemmed in by rigid definitions.

Nothing in music is hard, just unfamiliar.

Just before I play, I like to feel that no-one has ever played the piano before, that I'm in complete virgin territory, and that every note I play is the most beautiful sound I've ever heard.

Intellect has to surrender to instinct when it is time to play.
