You just don't luck into things as much as you'd like to think you do. You build step by step, whether it's friendships or opportunities. I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they're good or there because they're lucky. When it comes to luck, you make your own. Mark Twain Nobody's right till somebody's wrong.
Nobody's weak till somebody's strong.
Nobody's lucky till love comes along. Nobody's lonely till somebody's gone. For me music is a vehicle to bring our pain to the surface, getting it back to that humble and tender spot where, with luck, it can lose its anger and become compassion again. Somewhere along the line I made the switch and was able to look at the bight side rather than the dark side all the time. Now I look at everything I have and think how lucky I am.
