Me Quotes
Quotes rooted in the first person.

Several speak to the solitary nature of creative work, something also explored in Life Quotes.

Whatever the raw material, the material itself is unimportant until it's catalyzed by emotional fervor. So in the ideal exchange between me and my listeners, they wouldn't 'figure out' my music. They would feel their pulse racing and the hair standing up on the backs of their necks.
