“Music is forever; music should grow and mature with you, following you right on up until you die.”

“"You grow with music, or the music outgrows you." - attributed to Lennon, but no verifiable source found”

“Don't die with the music still in you.”

“Until I die there will be sounds. And they will continue following my death. One need not fear about the future of music.”

“I want to grow as an artist and I'm taking a step out, I want my music to mature.”

“This music is forever for me. It's the stage thing, that rush moment that you live for. It never lasts, but that's what you live for.”

“Remember that the style of music that is popular right now might not be popular by the time you have learned to master that music style. So always stay true to yourself and the kind of music you enjoy listening to and working on.”

“Notes don't make music until you learn to insert silence between them.”

“You are the music while the music lasts.”

“You have to give up! you have to give up!
You have to realize that someday you will die,
Until you know that, you are useless!”
