“As you go along in life, people tell you certain things about this is what will happen or you can expect that. The one thing that rings true to me for the longest period of time, is that that is really the truth: it takes so much time to become in the age of mastery where you really know what you’re doing and your instrument is finally tuned, you are in control of it, no one can rattle it, you can go on stage and master what you are doing.”
