"I was born very, very lazy and I don't always practice very long. but I must say, in my defense, that it is not so good, in a musical way, to overpractice.

If you play with a feeling of 'Oh, I know this,' you play without that little drop of fresh blood that is necessary â€“ and the audience feels it."

-- Arthur Rubinstein
