I get interested in the various ways that music is being done in the culture, and some of it I like thoroughly enough to want to learn about it. The way I have been successful at doing that is to become part of it.

I want to grow as an artist, and I'm taking a step out. I want my music to mature.

Make your own music. It can be done.

As you grow older, your music begins to mature and grow older along with you.

Music is its own language - if you don't speak it, it's hard to say what you're trying to do.

Music comes from a place we don't know.

Music is forever; music should grow and mature with you, following you right on up until you die.

The music becomes something that is its own entity.

Once you're in a particular country, and you're surrounded by musicians who are so adept at traditional music, you suddenly realize how much there is to explore and digest and learn and experience.
