I've had concerts where everything goes wrong, yet I perform well, which I attribute to a carefree attitude that allows me to play freely.

Memorizing thoughts to perform or meet expectations can be constraining and counterproductive; authenticity is key to meaningful expression.

The stress of trying to achieve perfection can damage your performance more than the imperfections themselves, so it's important to find balance and allow for mistakes.

Alleviating the pressure to achieve greatness allows for a more authentic pursuit of personal goals, while I push myself to be my best and recognize that the pressure to be great can be overwhelming.

I aim to create real moments in the studio that feel authentic, even if they don't sound perfect; it's about capturing something that really happened.

I find it stressful when I have too many things going on, which affects my performance and leads to cutting corners in my practice.

I often tell my actors that creativity is a powerful force, and engaging in different artistic activities can unlock new potential.

Being happy in general helps me approach concerts with a positive mindset, focusing on sharing music rather than performance pressure.

I think it's essential to focus on the emotional impact of music rather than just technical perfection, as true artistry comes from conveying feelings.
