I, schooled in misery, know many purifying rites, and I know where speech is proper and where silence.
I'm a producer for fun. I'm not a professional schooled musician or anything.
I'm very lucky I haven't gone through a lot of bullying, and I'm also home schooled.
I was home schooled starting in seventh grade.
I was so dedicated to generating income to keep my family housed and clothed and schooled. That mattered to me. And playing good golf mattered to me. The rest of the things, like how my record stacked up against others, never made that much difference.
I was a schooled musician. When I made 'Blue Velvet', I told everyone what to do. I was an arranger. I learned music in school I told the band to play this. I told the guitar to do that.
I was schooled at home, then didn't go to university because I married when I was 17. I didn't go into work until late in my life.
When you play with great musicians, whether they're schooled or self-taught, they keep you on your toes. It comes down to people's personalities and individual energies.
I read every book there was on jazz, about the original players - King Oliver, Buddy Bolden and all those groups. At one time I was fairly well schooled in that... I could tell you who played where and when, historically, way before my time.
I have a very long relationship with America. My mother grew up there and I felt to some extent that I partly belong there. I was schooled there briefly for about a year.
