“I've never known a musician who regretted being one. Whatever deceptions life may have in store for you, music itself is not going to let you down.”

“In Paris, you learn wit, in London you learn to crush your social rivals, and in Florence you learn poise.”

“Musicians own music because music owns them.”

“I love the life of a musician but I live the life of a bodybuilder.”

“I became a musician because that's really what I wanted to do when I was fifteen, but I had other abilities.”

“People unfortunately think that if you progress as a musician you are wimpy. I don't get that.”
