“It’s not about your ego when you’re making music. It’s not about you. It’s about the music.
If you’re trying to perform, you want to just have the best performance possible. If you’re writing music, you just want to take the song where the song wants to go. You want to help it go. It’s not about your self-referential agenda; it’s about the music.
It’s not about you, and so you’re transcending yourself.” – Richard Wolf
