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.

If I were just curious, it would be very hard to say to someone, I want to come to your house and have you talk to me and tell me the story of your life. I mean people are going to say, You're crazy. Plus they're going to keep mighty guarded. But the camera is a kind of license. A lot of people, they want to be paid that much attention and that's a reasonable kind of attention to be paid.
