I grew up in a time when being a musician and learning to be a musician was actually very wonderful.

From childhood I was passionately fond of music and wanted to be a musician. I have no recollection of any real desire ever to be anything else.

There was a period when I'd just come out of college where I'd been playing classical guitar and I suddenly realised that it wasn't what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.

I always wanted to play music and have it be my career and knew this by the age of 12.

I prefer to think of myself as a musician who is still learning and trying to do something every time out.

I just really longed to do music that reflected me as an adult and music that I thought was for other adults.

I loved music - listening and playing - but of course I could not imagine I would be a professional musician. It really happened step by step.

It was clear from the beginning that I was going to be a musician.
