Three Wishes
Carmell Jones and the Baroness Pannonica were talking one night and she asked him if he was given three wishes what would he ask for. His reply was:
- “I would like, first of all, to be at peace with myself, you know? And that would enable me to be at peace with my instrument.”
- “That I wouldn’t have to worry about money and all that it takes to make a living, but that I would be able to look – be free to look – for something other than money. A spiritual thing, you know?”
- “I’d like to have a home. A home is very important for me, because a home is where you make up everything you want to do.”
