To be adored is something I recommend..

I'm constantly being visually stimulated..

I watched a lot of movies. I was deeply influenced by movies..

Most things don't work like they are supposed to work..

I am at my best when I am scoring..

Every decoding is another encoding..

Everything was believed except the truth..

The work that I'm proudest of is the work that I'm most afraid of..

There is hardly anybody good for everything, and there is scarcely anybody who is absolutely good for nothing..

I was physically abused and I retaliated..

Meow, Meow, Motherfucker..

The only rule is there's only one rule: no rules..

There is no prodigy in our profession. If you see all the great singer of the past, none of them are..

I was never a prodigy. I was never a child genius..

For every child prodigy that you know about, at least 50 potential ones have burned out before you even heard about them..

I have never considered myself a prodigy. Others have used that term, but I never bought in to it..

I think it's fair to say that Nina Simone was a prodigy..

Look at the real prodigies, and I look like nothing compared to them..

It is only when aggression is legitimate that one can expect prodigies of valour..

You could be a music prodigy at age 4, like Mozart, but you can't be a writing prodigy..

I was never a prodigy..
