Beautiful tunes are all very good and fine, and great musicians are always great, but that alone isn't enough.

All the money in the world is spent on feeling good.

I have to think that somewhere on some little island in the Pacific, there's someone's who's great, but I'm probably never going to hear him.

You're not born with certain skills; you have to acquire them.

The environment is rarely put on tape, or if it is, it's so abstract that most people never realize it. They just don't know what it means. But if you can show it to them, then that's what becomes the main instrument.

You should try to do something if you think you can see your way clear.

Everything you do is challenging, hopefully, because if it's not, it's boring.
