In order to inspire people, that's going to have to come from somewhere deep inside of you.

You usually can't tell what's inspiring until you look back on it.

I don't know whether I inspire anything in anyone.

You don't know what inspires you. You like to think you know what inspires you, but in the final analysis I don't think you really do. It's great to look at a blank sheet of paper, you know, and walk up to an instrument and not know what's gonna happen. It's the most challenging thing I do.

You know, all kinds of people inspire me.

The thing about inspiration is that it takes your mind off everything else.

I want to inspire people.

It's very exciting to work with people who inspire you.

You're not going to do good work if you're not choosing something because it inspires you.
