When I came from horizontal vertical straight all old stuff then suddenly I go also again in curved lines. And there I submit to changes in the intensity of my hand leading a tool, you see.

I don't listen to my old stuff very often at all.

One of my rules is: Never listen to your old stuff.

I came face to face with death at thirteen years old.

If you go out and just play the old stuff and never write new stuff, you're not really a complete musician, you're a performer.

Apprentice is the beginner - the first years you work in a craft in the European sense you are an apprentice. That takes 3 or 4 years. Then you are a journeyman. You can go from one master to another and learn other tricks and other secrets.
