I do not consider my self as having mastered the flute, but I get a real kick out of trying.

I can play the flute. Music was my favourite A-level, and I used to love composing my and stylising my voice to sound like 90's singing sensation Tori Amos.

I played piano and was always in the choir. I tried to play flute because all the pretty girls played flute.

Everybody is someone else's instrument.

You got to play the flute as a flute, like that. You can't play like a tenor concept on soprano; it sounds wrong. But some guys do it, and they think it's O.K., but not so!

Every performer should learn a little bit of everything.

I believe we should encourage children to sing and play instruments from an early age.

I really do think everybody can sing.

I played the flute in elementary school, but when I got into high school, they didn't have any flutes; they gave me a clarinet and said, 'Play it in the same way, just hold in a different position.' I really didn't care much for it.

Not everyone deserves to be a musician, you get lucky enough to be one.
