To be a true artist you have to play the way you feel - not the way others think you should feel.

I got bored with the old way - it came too easy. I worked until I could play and chord changes at any tempo in any key, and then said 'What else is there?' Now I'm finding out.

It is much easier to be accepted if you play like everyone else, and you will get more jobs. It depends on where your values lie.

It is here [in mathematics] that the artist has the fullest scope of his imagination.

The natural progression for these guys is to get older, but not too old to play well. No matter what division they're in, they're still playing for the trophy.

I think we all play a little differently, but basically we all want to win.
