I believe that there's a way to question authority with manners, with dignity. There's no reason to be rude about it.

I see myself as a student. I would never call myself a master or a maestro. If you take the path of the student, that means you have to try a little bit of everything in hopes that you're going to learn something or strike some kind of new note, expression in the process.
