Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
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.
