I never pictured myself as a professional musician. — © Borns
I never pictured myself as a professional musician.
My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.
I had pictured myself as a filmmaker but I had never pictured myself as a director if that makes any sense at all.
Each time I had five hours of the poison going into me, I just pictured everything that needed to be burned away. I pictured wars, I pictured the things my father had done to me, I pictured brutality, and when it was over, I am light.
I guess because I never pictured myself wrestling, I find myself wanting to push every limit possible in this industry.
When I pictured heroin, I pictured some crazy crackhead with no shoes under a bridge. You never think that is going to be you. And it never was me. I was never under a bridge, and I always had shoes.
I never pictured myself as a telenovela galan - never imagined I'd be in a soap opera.
I never pictured myself as a telenovela galan - never imagined Id be in a soap opera.
I never really pictured myself as an actress.
I never pictured myself being liked by anybody.
I never pictured myself as an entertainer or a superstar or a model or anything like that.
I think for a classical musician the goal is the same as an electronic musician. A very good professional classical musician must not think about technique.
I never really thought about becoming a professional musician.
I don't view myself as a musician anymore - I view myself as a human being that functions as a musician when I'm functioning as a musician, but that's not 24 hours a day. That's really opened me up to even more perspectives because now I look at music, not from the standpoint of being a musician, but from the standpoint of being a human being.
I always tell my students when you're going to be a jazz musician the first thing you've got to do is be a professional musician, and that means you have to feed yourself with the instrument.
I don't consider myself a musician who has achieved perfection and can't develop any further. But I compose my pieces with a formula that I created myself. Take a musician like John Coltrane. He is a perfect musician, who can give expression to all the possibilities of his instrument. But he seems to have difficulty expressing original ideas on it. That is why he keeps looking for ideas in exotic places. At least I don't have that problem, because, like I say, I find my inspiration in myself.
I could never have pictured myself writing a book when I was 25 years old. My mom was an English teacher but I wasn't that way growing up.
