Interplay and interaction are the integral parts of music - they're as important as the notes.

Only in spontaneity can we be who we truly are.

The whole point of working and practicing your whole life is so that you're ready when that moment arrives; when the inspiration arrives, you are ready to be at the disposal of inspiration.
