"The one thing that fills me with enthusiasm is to try, despite everything, to get nearer to those visions that seem so hard to express."

Even if you can sing or even if you can write a song, it takes a lot of determination, it takes some kind of thick skin, because you got to persevere despite the fact that people tell you you shouldn't do this or you shouldn't do that or you're not good enough or your style's too different. I've heard all of that stuff.
