I got out of high school, bought a recording studio and started operating it as an engineer and a producer.

I'm not stupid enough to want to be famous. But I would like to be able to earn a living playing music.

My advice for young people is that, if you want to be a musician, the thing to do is practice eight hours a day.

I can tell for sure, the technologists have made it clear that they don't care about musicians. The arts have been sacrificed on the altar of technological advancement.

In other words, I'd say the whole story of Bob Dylan is one man's search for God. The turns and the steps he takes to find God are his business. I think he went to a study group at the Vineyard, and it created a lot of excitement.

Probably the deepest use of music and of art is to create conscience.

The more perfect music we have, the more attractive the peculiarities and anomalies of human performance become. Perfection is a second rate idea.
