Study the greats and become greater
In order to be one of the greats, you've got to study the greats.
A problem with school is that you often become what you study. If you study, let say cooking, you become a chef. If you study law, you become an attorney, and a study of auto mechanics makes you mechanics. The mistake in becoming what you study is that, too many people forget to mind their own business. They spend their lives minding someone else's business and making that person rich
I'm in no rush to be the one of the greats. I am one of the greats. I consider myself to be one of the greats of my division.
I study all the greats.
I definitely study the greats.
I study a lot of the greats; I study the current people out now and what people are listening to now. I don't shun anything away; I just check it all out and make my own judgment.
I've been around a lot of greats I seen in this industry that have problems, but the comeback can be that much greater.
I loved working with Peter Weir. I think he's one of the greats and will be remembered as one of the greats.
When the 'greats of all-time' put out their first albums, it wasn't a thousand features on it. And I'm one of the greats in my eyes.
If you want to be like the greats, you learn from the greats.
I want to become one of the songwriting greats. That's my number one goal.
My greatest solace is my study. If I am deprived of my study, I can become lost, unhappy and unhinged.
The greatest of the greats wouldn't be the greatest of the greats if they didn't try stuff, you know what I mean?
There are many mediocre entertainers who don't aspire to much more than fame and glory. It's very easy to have them as your role models because there aren't as many greats. Go back, discover the greats, and take it from there.
Whenever you study composition you inevitably encounter Bach right off the bat. You can't get across the room without running into him and the other greats. Analyzing Bach absolutely influenced my jazz playing.
Suffering can become a means to greater love and greater generosity.
