In art, music, and writing, if it's not of the heart, it means nothing.

About This Quote

If it's not of the heart, it means nothing. Most people base their tastes on other people’s choices. They pick up an album because everyone else has it or go to a concert because everybody else is going. Such thinking can be dangerous if you are trying to do something different or create something new.

If you are trying to be original, you must start with your own imagination. There’s nothing wrong with music that’s popular right now, but if you don’t love it, then that music is of no value to you.
