Change Is Inevitable In Music - Things

The Main Thing A Musician Would Like To Do Is To Give A Picture To The Listener Of The Many Wonderful Things He Knows Of And Senses In The Universe.

...that Is One Of The Main Causes Of This Arrogance: The Idea Of Power. Then You Lose Your True Power Which Is To Be Part Of All, And The Only Way You Can Be Part Of All Is To Understand It. And When You Don't Understand, You Have To Go Humbly To It. You Don't Go To School And Say, 'i Know What You're Going To Teach Me'.

The Real Risk Is Not Changing. I Have To Feel That I'm After Something. If I Make Money, Fine. But I'd Rather Be Striving. It's The Striving, Man, It's That I Want.

Sometimes I Wish I Could Walk Up To My Music As If For The First Time, As If I Had Never Heard It Before. Being So Inescapably A Part Of It, I'll Never Know What The Listener Gets, What The Listener Feels, And That's Too Bad.

I Would Like To Bring To People Something Like Happiness. I Would Like To Discover A Method So That If I Want It To Rain, It Will Start Right Away To Rain. If One Of My Friends Is Ill, I'd Like To Play A Certain Song And He Will Be Cured; When He'd Be Broke, I'd Bring Out A Different Song And Immediately He'd Receive All The Money He Needed.
