I have a love-hate relationship with performing.
Dare to outlearn your best performance.
I like performing because it's direct contact with live people. I write a good deal of the time but that's introspective creation rather than interaction.
if somebody doesn't have any talent, get off the stage! you're wasting my time.
He held back nothing of himself in his effort to please his audience
When you play, never mind who listens to you.
Play always as if in the presence of a master.
Performing is an experience, for me, that is as humbling as it is energizing.
I'm thankful for performing as long as I am allowed.
