The Seasons Are What A Symphony Ought

Music Is Not A Hobby, Not Even A Passion With Me; Music Is Me. I Feel What People Get Out Of Me Is This Outlook On Life, Which Comes Out In My Music. My Music Is The Last Expression Of All That.

Don't Tell Me How Talented You Are. Tell Me How Hard You Work.

I'm A Free Person; I Feel Terribly Free. They Could Put Me In Chains And I Still Would Be Free Because My Thoughts Would Be Mine - And That's All I Want To Have.

I Feel That Special Secret Current Between The Public And Me. I Can Hold Them With One Little Note In The Air, And They Will Not Breathe. That Is A Great, Great Moment.

Yes, I Am Very Lucky, But I Have A Little Theory About This. I Have Noticed Through Experience And Observation That Providence, Nature, God, Or What I Would Call The Power Of Creation Seems To Favor Human Beings Who Accept And Love Life Unconditionally, And I Am Certainly One Who Does With All My Heart.
