Good taste - that's all you really need when you're playing an instrument.

Before you can make good music, you just have to shut up. Then the music can say what it has to say.

I don't mind what the market is, but why is it vapid? If they're such a bunch of idiots, why don't you show them good music instead? They're not going to know the difference.

I guess I'll just slip into the studio after the next time with the Muses, and then just keel over and die.

Baby she look like a star, but only on camera, only on camera, only on camera.

The fact is that the creative person is a disciplined craftsman whose 'gift' is a reaching out toward his most profound personal potential.

Will our Philosophy to later Life Seem but a crudeness of the planet's youth, Our Wisdom but a parasite of Truth?

The bases for historical knowledge are not empirical facts but written texts, even if these texts masquerade in the guise of wars or revolutions.

We are all capable of becoming fundamentalists because we get addicted to other people's wrongness.
