Hellen Gillet: “You Found Me”
Joaquin Phoenix on Acting
Phoenix is one of those actors who makes what he does seem effortless. Part of that comes out of how he approaches acting. He explains, “Just be in the moment. Don’t overthink it, let it be what it is. If you keep trying to find what’s unique in the moment, then the danger is that you miss that very thing.” In fact, Phoenix later reveals what he thinks is one of the advantages of acting on screen: “The great thing about film is that you get to make mistakes.”

Interview: Daniela Mastrandrea, Pianist, Composer & Arranger
What do you consider to be the most important ideas and concepts to impart to aspiring musicians?
Always believe in yourself and in what you do, even if this involves a big sacrifice, as it often does. In the past, I would get discouraged and it will almost certainly happen again (we couldn’t not call ourselves human if it didn’t). Falling down is natural, getting back up is the real challenge. When you get up after a fall you are stronger than ever before! As Friedrich Nietzsche said “What does not kill you, fortifies you“, and he is right! Always pick yourself up and keep getting stronger!

Humility
Interview: Alexey Goribol, Pianist
What do you consider to be the most important ideas and concepts to impart to aspiring musicians?
This is not related to technology or to sound production, or, in fact, to the profession of a musician. I can only advise young musicians to absorb themselves in the very best that is given to mankind in other areas of art. I just advise everyone to go to museums and theatres, read a lot, and so on. It is very important.
