I'm Into Scales Right Now.

Sometimes I Wish I Could Walk Up To My Music As If For The First Time, As If I Had Never Heard It Before. Being So Inescapably A Part Of It, I'll Never Know What The Listener Gets, What The Listener Feels, And That's Too Bad.

The Real Risk Is Not Changing. I Have To Feel That I'm After Something. If I Make Money, Fine. But I'd Rather Be Striving. It's The Striving, Man, It's That I Want.

When You Are Playing With Someone Who Really Has Something To Say, Even Though They May Be Otherwise Quite Different In Style, There’s One Thing That Remains Constant. And That Is The Tension Of The Experience, That Electricity, That Kind Of Feeling That Is A Lift Sort Of Feeling. No Matter Where It Happens, You Know When That Feeling Comes Upon You, And It Makes You Feel Happy.

I Want To Be A Force For Real Good. In Other Words, I Know There Are Bad Forces. You Know, I Know That There Are Forces Out Here That Bring Suffering To Others And Misery To The World, But I Want To Be The Opposite Force. I Want To Be The Force Which Is Truly For Good.

I Never Even Thought About Whether Or Not They Understand What I'm Doing . . . The Emotional Reaction Is All That Matters As Long As There's Some Feeling Of Communication, It Isn't Necessary That It Be Understood.
