“It [the music] must be different” said Casals. “How can it be otherwise? Nature is so. And we are nature”

“Everyone’s got to be different. You can’t copy anybody and end up with anything. If you copy, it means you’re working without any real feeling. And without feeling, whatever you do amounts to nothing.

No two people on earth are alike, and it’s got to be that way in music or it isn’t music.”

“Even if you’re a whore, you don’t want to be raped”
