"Sometimes just getting out of the house and doing something you haven't done in a long time (or never done!) can open up the doors to musical inspiration"
- Ken Hill
About this Quote
This quote by Ken Hill motivates us to take a break from our day-to-day regimens and check out something new. It recommends that by doing something we haven't carried out in a very long time, or something we've never ever done before, we can open the doors to musical inspiration. This could be anything from going for a walk in nature, to attending a performance, to attempting a new instrument. By stepping beyond our comfort zone and attempting something brand-new, we can acquire a fresh viewpoint and be motivated to develop something distinct. It's a suggestion that motivation can come from anywhere, and that sometimes all it takes is a modification of surroundings to stimulate imagination.
"When you're younger, your inspiration is there. As you get older, it tends to waver. Once you find it - I found it again - that's where you can draw from. That's where you draw your strength from"
"As an inspiration to the author, I do not think the cat can be over-estimated. He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism. I do not wonder that many writers love cats; I am only surprised that all do not"
