"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.
"Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged"
"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"
