I find my inspiration in myself, reflected through music & musicians?

I never sing a song the same way twice. (B Holiday)

Sometimes I’d think I was making music through the wrong end of a magnifying glass. (J Coltrane)

Don’t play what’s there, play what’s not there. (M Davis)

I say, play your own way. Don’t play what the public wants. You play what you want and let the public pick up on what you’re doing? even if it does take them fifteen, twenty years. (T Monk)
