Just doing as well as you did last time is not good enough.
Feel good about yourself. You have been blessed and you might not have even realized it.
A musician knows hit material. It has to feel right. Everything has to feel in place. It fulfills you and it makes you feel good. You know it when you hear it.
I'm actually relaxed onstage. Totally relaxed. It's nice. I feel relaxed in the studio too. I know whether something feels right. If it doesn't, I know how to fix it. Everything has to be in place and if it is you feel good, you feel fulfilled.
Escapism and wonder is influence. It makes you feel good, and that allows you to do things. You just keep on moving ahead, and you say, 'God, is this wonderful - do I appreciate it.'
I look at this as a staff award. It's a good indicator that our staff is doing some of the right things and our kids are responding well to what we have asked them to do.
