I look at you and I write down what I hear.

Let your mind alone, and see what happens.

Try a thing you haven't done three times. Once, to get over the fear of doing it. Twice, to learn how to do it. And a third time to figure out whether you like it or not.

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

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.

I said to my friends that if I was going to starve, I might as well starve where the food is good.
