I also believe my musical abilities are a true gift from God.

I love what I do. I was given the most incredible gift that can be given to anyone. I could never imagine a world without music, and I feel grateful that I've been given the ability to share that.

The ability to make music is a gift that you're born with; it's not something you can learn.

I think some people just have an innate musical ability, and I'm lucky enough to be one of those people.

I learned at an early age that I was given something special when I was born, and that was the gift of music.

I regard myself as a beautiful musical instrument, and my role is to contribute that instrument to scripts worthy of it.

I feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment. Everything is in tune: the voice, the type of music, who I am and who people think I am.

I thank the Creator of the universe to have discovered the discipline of music was the greatest gift that I could have been given, the possibility to be a student working in the world.

One has to draw upon one's own musical thoughts and one's own musical acumen, and not to be afraid to let that come into one's work. Perhaps that comes with more experience, but perhaps it also comes with daring, and believing that you should.

It was also important for me to have a burning desire to achieve something worthwhile on that instrument, and I devoted many many many hours with little or no compensation to perfecting whatever I could, because I loved it so much.
