I’ve learned that it’s not a straight road to the top, and there are going to be setbacks along the way. You have to be patient, and you have to keep believing in what you’re doing. And keep believing in yourself, no matter what is happening. And then eventually you’ll get there.

One has to draw upon one’s own musical thoughts and one’s own musical acumen, and not to be afraid to let that come into one’s work. Perhaps that comes with more experience, but perhaps it also comes with daring, and believing that you should.
