Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Who seeks shall find.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
You never know what motivates you.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Certain kinds of speed, flow, intensity, density of attacks, density of interaction... Music that concentrates on those qualities is, I think, easier achieved by free improvisation between people sharing a common attitude, a common language.
