Music is the framework around the silence.

I can tell whether a person can play just by the way he stands.

Good music is good no matter what kind of music it is.

You have to know 400 notes that you can play, then pick the right four.

If you're not nervous then you're not paying attention.

If you understood everything I say, you'd be me!

My future starts when I wake up every morning.

It's not the notes you play, it's the notes you don't play.

Do not fear mistakes. There are none.

Don't play what's there, play what's not there.

Don't worry about playing a lot of notes. Just find one pretty one.

If you hit a wrong note, it's the next note that you play that determines if it's good or bad.

Knowledge is freedom and ignorance is slavery

First you imitate, then you innovate.

It takes a long time to sound like yourself.

In music, silence is more important than sound.

A painting is music you can see and music is a painting you can hear.

The path to my fixed purpose is laid with iron rails whereon my soul is grooved to run

Many sensible things banished from high life find an asylum among the mob.
