"Saya ingat mendengarkan Miles Davis di mobil bersama ayah saya. Saya baru saja menyelesaikan ujian piano kelas 5, dan saya cukup sombong. Saya berkata, "Sepertinya dia memainkan nada yang salah di sana." Aku ingat ekspresi ngeri di wajah ayahku, dan berpikir, "Wow, aku harus mencari tahu mengapa itu tidak bisa diterima.""

Versi Bahasa Inggris

I remember listening to Miles Davis in the car with my dad. I had just done my Grade 5 piano exam, and I was quite cocky. I said, 'It sounds like he's played the wrong note there.' I remember the look of horror on my dad's face, and thinking, 'Wow, I have to figure out why that is not acceptable.'
