In an interview on MTV in 1984 Robert Fripp made the following observations about creativity and performance. “For me art is the capacity to re-experience one's innocence. Craft is how you get to that point. Maturity in a musician would be the point at which one is innocent as well at that point the relationship between music and the musician is direct and reliable. The relationship with the music is always mysterious, when it works you can never tell you can never guarantee that it's going to work. you can only put yourself in a place where it's more likely to happen.
If one works under the deluded notion that the musician creates music then the humiliation of appearing in front of people cuts the egotism down to a point where when one can come into a better relationship with music and realizing that we really are feeble creatures, then one can give music the respect which it deserves.”
