Sometimes I wish I could walk up to my music for the first time, as if I had never heard it before.
I've always felt that even though a man was not a Christian, he still has to know the truth some way or another. Or if he was a Christian, he could know the truth. The truth itself doesn't have any name on it to me. And each man has to find this for himself, I think.
All a musician can do is to get closer to the sources of nature, and so feel that he is in communion with the natural laws.
Keep a thing happenin' all throughout.
When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something good for people, to help humanity free itself from its hang-ups.
