A Quote by Willam Belli

I've never really considered myself a musician. — © Willam Belli
I've never really considered myself a musician.
I never considered myself like a pop musician or rock star, because that didn't really exist when I started.
I've never really considered myself a wrestler. I always considered myself an entertainer, but I always wanted to be better than the guy next to me.
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've never really considered myself just a street artist. I consider myself a populist.
I never considered myself to be special. If anything, I considered myself to be awkward, and still do sometimes.
I never really considered myself an actor because I never pursued it.
I never really considered myself attractive, really. I was always kind of gangly in school.
I never considered myself a trainer, I considered myself a teacher.
I've always considered myself the best and the top. I never considered that I was out of it.
I’ve always considered it a great privilege to be a musician, I’ve never lost sight of that.
I've always thought about myself as somewhat of a folk musician. I just write words. I don't think I'm even a musician. I don't play a lot of instruments, not really a soloist or anything.
I never really considered myself attractive. I was always kind of gangly in school.
It's crazy to think of myself as a musician. It's ridiculous that I get to do it, and I don't necessarily mean music. Getting to do something you really enjoy as a job is an incredible privilege, I think. I still don't really feel like a musician outside of the actual music.
In most of the stuff that I've done over the years as a sideman, I wasn't really a session musician, because to me, a session musician is a guy who makes his living in the studio, and I never really did that.
I'm very happy with the way I write. I think I do it good. But I've never really considered myself a writer.
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.
