"I didn't study music. I literally lived it,"

-- Paco de Lucia

“There are so many highly esteemed ones who became miserable and humiliated just because of their bad temper and morals; and humble people who have attained eminence and the highest honors because of good temper and morals.”
“Because you speak to me in words, and I look at you with feelings.”
“Impartial - unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy.”
“No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that or this; the only right is what is after my constitution; the only wrong is what is against it.”
“I look for people who're passionate, dedicated to the text, and in whom I trust completely.”
“I don't want to talk about myself, that's for other people to say, so I'm not saying I was so talented.”
“If you pitch your movie to someone and they say, "Oh, please, don't make that. No one would see it." Do it! Because that means you may have something that's not the norm.”
“Is that it?â€ â€œNo. Thatâ€™s a wall.â€ â€œIt could be disguised.â€ â€œYouâ€™re not very good at looking for things, are you?â€ â€œIâ€™m good at looking for walls. Look, I found another one.”
