Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Never complain and never explain.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
You never know what motivates you.
It's always too early to quit.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Music is not math. It's science. You keep mixing the stuff up until it blows up on you, or it becomes this incredible potion.
