“I’m focused on the music. I think, as long as I keep making music just because I like to make it, people are gonna like it. But if I start going after different aspects like money, blah blah blah, then I don’t think people are gonna like it anymore.”

If you’re good at the art and you wanna make money, then it’s fine. But if you’re just doing it because you know you’re gonna make money, then I don’t know. Some people do it just because they need the money, but it depends on a lot of things.

The essential thing is to run period! And to do it for a long time and consistently and then everything will take care of itself.

Always make sure you have your rent. At the end of the month, if you have to eat Ramen for a week because you won’t have your rent money.

Just do it but make sure your rent is all there so you’re not stressing about that. As long as you have your rent at least you have somewhere to live.

The loving person makes other people feel good, and he is usually a happy person himself. He is able to form strong, long-lasting friendships.

I think this insatiable need to get to know new music is a big part of why it has lasted so long.

Standing even for a short time proves exhausting compared with walking and running though it be for a long time … Nature delights and is restored by alternating and varied actions.

I have long feared that my sins would return to visit me. And the cost is more than I can bear.

A gambit never becomes sheer routine as long as you fear you may lose the king and pawn ending!
