I don't play any instruments, but I do read a lot.

You know, I don't only play for the record books.

I never had lessons. Used to try to play to records, which I hated doing. Still can't play to them.

You don't have to be a good musician if you've got certain computer skills.

You can learn so much just by doing, not by listening to anybody.

I'm a self-taught musician aside from what I've been able to pick up from other players.

I don't think that you can write music if you don't know how to play an instrument. You have to know the basics, then you can go forward.

Playing music is a lifetime's work. And if you want to carry on with it, you have to try to better yourself. You have to see where the music can take you.

I would practice while listening to records or learn from musicians who were better than I was.
