Now as a musician, if you have it within you, you can create your own reality. Believe me, it's a novelty.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Making music, if you're a real musician, you carry on regardless in this world.
I still have a fantasy of being a musician when I grow up.
You know, as you compose music, you're just off in your own world. You have no idea where reality is, so to have an idea of what people think is pretty hard.
Maybe it's egocentric or whatever, but when I'm playing Beethoven, Bach, Hendrix, or whoever it is, in the end, it just feels like my own music and I'm making it up as I'm going along.
I think that's my gift in this world is to put experience into music.
It's really hard to make a living as a musician. It's almost impossible.
There's another way of making music, by touching the lives and feelings of ordinary people.
I like thinking of myself as invisible. I find it a very advantageous way to live. Unfortunately, its not the way the music business works. If you don't create some kind of public image, it gets created for you.
Music is a way to dream together and go to another dimension.
I mean, I don't even think of myself as a musician, really.
