“Every time I see a musician - it doesn't matter what age - that inspir...” — Chick Corea Quote

Every time I see a musician - it doesn't matter what age - that inspires me, there's always a secret little wish that maybe we'll play together, because that's how I learn and grow and so forth, you know. But hopefully there's a lot more.

My one thing is I continue to be interested and want to be a student. I don't want to be a master. When I'm learning something, I'm in my element.

The title 'Now He Sings, Now He Sobs' comes from 'I Ching,' an ancient Chinese book that I was into in the '60s when I was studying different philosophies and religions.

The sound of the orchestra is one of the most magnificent musical sounds that has ever existed.

I know not age, nor weariness nor defeat.

I was in my early 20s when Estonia joined the E.U. For a kid who'd grown up in the Soviet Union, it seemed like my country had come of age. For a country that had been isolated and cut off from the rest of the world, it seemed like we were becoming part of the global community. It opened a whole new world of possibility.

There is something in age that ever, even in its own despite, must be venerable, must create respect and to have it ill treated, is to me worse, more cruel and wicked than anything on earth.

I learnt I had to change the mercury in my back fillings. So I found this 'new age,' as I call him, dentist with a ponytail, and this guy was using a pendulum to see what alloy I should have for my teeth.
