It is probably very necessary to present your ego at some point.

I am a classical music lover - not necessarily the contemporary stuff, but the old stuff.

I realized pretty soon that I have to do more than just play bass in the background way. So, I developed a kind of playing which only a handful of musicians accepted.

I like to create the music I hear in my interior. As a conductor, you have the ability to squeeze the sounds and interpretation you asked for from 50 to 80 people.

It's better to finish at the peak or soon after it, than to wait until the audience notices a decline.

When I started to pick up the bass, it was purely by random chance.

The way to compose for me is to have lots of time.

As a result, I had to get my own playground which was my band Colours. This band lasted for about eight years and then the air was out of it and it was time to finish.

The problem is that I don't want to add another record to the world that is not necessary to be published, except to make some business. There has to be a musical reason.

I played cello in my high school orchestra.

We'll when he lets his guard down he's okay. Like when he just talks without checking his words or you catch him just looking at something like... He's really looking for the beauty in it.

The moon makes love to the ocean and in this holy conception it gives birth to a little tide.

I don't want to rap about my car. How generic is that? Be creative.

Neglect kills injuries, revenge increases them.

Anyone can steer a ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course

A Texan outside of Texas is a foreigner.

I don't know the true meaning of happiness.

I've always felt that a really good joke, a really good one-liner, is a really good line of poetry. It's imagistic, it's compact, there is a rhythm to it.

The nice thing about piracy is, it allows the public to get independent art, to get a variety of music and movies.

I can see close up and my husband can see far away, so we're covered. He tells me who's in the movie and I tell him what's in his sandwich. Together we're human bifocals.
