QUOTES

On challenges as an essential element for success and fulfillment

“If I don't have a challenge to face, I feel I'm a failure because I'm not not challenged. I have no feeling of self-worth if I'm not facing something that I need to deal with.”

 

On reframing negatives into opportunity

“When negative things happen to us, we could very easily spiral downwards. But actually when negative things happen, it doesn't matter what it is… there's an opportunity there.” 

 

On self-awareness as a superpower

“As musicians, we're unbelievably self-aware. Far more so than lots of other professions. We are constantly analysing the way we talk, the way we get off the bus and walk to the concert hall, the way we stand in the tea queue, the way we do our warm up. We are very powerful people in what we have within ourselves and what we’ve fine tuned.”
