"It's impossible for me to say one word about all that music has meant to me in my life. How, then, can I hope to be understood?"

Previous Quote

I used to feel so alone in the city. All those gazillions of people and then me, on the outside. Because how do you meet a new person? I was very stunned by this for many years. And then I realized, you just say, "Hi." They may ignore you. Or you may marry them. And that possibility is worth that one word.
