song inspiration play
The process is always the same. I get an inspiration for a new song, I put it down on paper immediately so I won't lose it. When I am ready to go to the studio with it, I play it a few times on the piano and edit, add, and type the lyrics and take it to the studio. Sometimes I don't have anything on paper.
thinking artist wanted
I never wanted to be a professional artist; I think that's limiting.
thinking expression people
Some people think that movements, such as the movements in ballet, are a higher cultural expression, whereas some are just dirt. I think it is elitist to think that a trained movement is more acceptable than untrained and possibly unrehearsed movements.
mean technology thinking
The computer is my favourite invention. I feel lucky to be part of the global village. I don't mean to brag, but I'm so fast with technology. People think it all seems too much, but we'll get used to it. I'm sure it all seemed too much when we were learning to walk.
art age desire
Sound as medium has an incredible elasticity. So, of course, it is tempting for artists of other fields to try something with sounds. Why not? We are living in the age when there is no limit in gathering all forms of art and music to mix it together if you so desire.
art school ideas
I never went to art school and I never thought of going to an art school. It was just a way of manifesting these ideas I had. Ideas came to me that I needed to express.
fall sky always-there-for-me
All my life, I have been in love with the sky. Even when everything was falling apart around me, the sky was always there for me.
healthy peaceful trying
I just want to be healthy and stay alive and keep my family going and everything and keep my friends going and try to do something so that this world will be peaceful. That is the most ambitious and the most difficult thing, but I'm there trying to do it.
people important answers
When people ask me what the most important thing is in life, I answer: 'Just breathe.'
creativity way needs
Creativity is innate and it manifests itself in so many forms. It needs to come out somehow or it destroys you in some way.
music-is blanket security
Music is like my security blanket.
art artist metronomes
Artists are going to be the metronome of this society.
