“When I was a kid, the punishment I disliked the most was writing sentences. My mother loved to make me record my transgressions--always a minimum of five hundred times--and she even bought special spiral notebooks for me to fill up.... No matter how many notebooks I went through, there was always another one waiting in the kitchen drawer.” WritingMatterKidsMotherWaitingRecordsFiveSpecialHundredSentencesPunishmentKitchenMinimumNotebookDrawersSpiralsTransgression Book:Learning to Sing: Hearing the Music in Your Life Source: Learning to Sing: Hearing the Music in Your Life
“But the others, those who tried to bring Jesus to life at the call of love, found it a cruel task to be honest. The critical study of the life of Jesus has been for theology a school of honesty. The world had never seen before, and will never see again, a struggle for truth so full of pain and renunciation as that of which the Lives of Jesus of the last hundred years contain the cryptic record.” WorldYearsHas BeensSchoolPainLastsFoundJesusStruggleStudyRecordsAtheismHonestHonestyHundredTasksCriticalPositive AtheismTheologyBeing HonestRenunciationCryptic Author:Albert Schweitzer
“The main things to rebel against - over-production, too much technology, overthinking. It's a spoiled mentality; everything is too easy.

That leads to overthinking, which kills any spontaneity and the humanity of the performance.” IfsWantSongHumanityEasyTechnologyRecordsToo MuchFourHundredToolsPerformancesGuitarTrackProductionsRebelMentalitySpontaneitySpoiledOverthinking Author:Jack White
“Acting is a difficult profession, it really is. It's different than singing. With singing you may have one song and four people to record it - but they'll all do it differently and they'll all have that option. Whereas with actors there might be one part, and five hundred actors all want the same role - it's so much more competitive. It's an incredibly painful profession because you get so much rejection.” PeopleWantMayDifferentMightSongActorsDifficultActingRolesRecordsFiveFourSingingHundredPainfulProfessionRejection Author:Olivia Newton-John

“I like the aspect of technology. For me to spin the way I do, I would have to carry five crates of records with me everywhere I go, which in this day and age would be like two hundred extra dollars in baggage fees.
