Fear is a sprit that really can stop you from living..

The orchestral or symphonic music never interested me..

I am not doddery... doddery I am not!.

That's what's good about life - that you always learn..

You just go for it and see what works. There are no rules..

More of me comes out when I improvise..

It is far better to be free to govern or misgovern yourself than to be governed by anybody else.

I will live to make myself not feared..
