Or I'll look at something or read something and let it work on my subconscious mind.” ThinkingWorldGivingMindLooksCharacterMightEnergyAnimalRoomsColorWallGive MeSubconsciousSpontaneousFlexibleSubconscious MindLatitude Author:Wesley Snipes

“The piano is just a different animal. It's expensive, it's big, it's heavy, and it doesn't fit in the mix easily. Everyone grew up with a piano in their living room, so rocking out on the piano was accessible - it wasn't an upper-class thing. Now pianos have become very much a piece of furniture.” DifferentBigsAnimalRoomsClassPiecesGrewFitGrew UpHeavyPianoExpensiveFurnitureLiving RoomUpper ClassDifferent AnimalsRocking Out Author:Ben Folds
