The beautiful are shyer than the ugly, for they move in a world that does not ask for beauty.

I don't go to concerts much. I've heard everything. When I do go to movies, I walk out half the time. As for literature, I've read everything.

If you read reviews of concerts, the word 'creative' comes up all the time. However, performers playing music usually aren't creative. Critics might say they are, but they're just playing another persons work. They didn't create it.

It's not evil that's ruining the earth, but mediocrity. The crime is not that Nero played while Rome burned, but that he played badly.

The beautiful are shyer than the ugly, for they move in a world that does not ask for beauty.

Inspiration could be called inhaling the memory of an act never experienced.

Compose first, worry later.
