If you play music for the right reasons, the rest of the things will come. The right reason to play music is that you love it. That's why I play music. I never imagined that I was going to be doing this, especially because I never thought of myself as an instrumentalist.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Playing music should come from a place of passion, and success will follow that love.
George Benson emphasizes that the true essence of making music lies in the love for it, rather than seeking fame or recognition. When one plays for the joy it brings, other achievements and opportunities will naturally arise, reflecting a deep connection to the art form rather than a mere pursuit of external validation.
