Nothing in music is hard, just unfamiliar.
Intellect has to surrender to instinct when it is time to play.
It is good to view things as familiar or unfamiliar, rather than as difficult or easy.
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.
There is no easy or difficult; only familiar and unfamiliar.
Fear closes all doors to the true self, that brilliant center where the ecstasy lies.
