Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
I think that technology has both introduced new sounds but also allowed an increasingly painterly approach to recording music as you can now paint over what you've done and more and more refine an existing performance.
