"We must look at it as an art, otherwise we're gonna get so confused. Because there are a million things you can do, and so you just have to perfect your own art and hopefully there will be room for it. I'm very thankful for the position I have and the freedom I have. And I just keep my focus and I play what pleases me."

~Bill Evans, regarding jazz piano, but I think you can apply that attitude to just about anything (thanks Matt)
