Around Quote by Lola Kirke

“I will never be good at the oboe. No matter what happens, I will never be good at it because I just don't have that much time on my hands. I don't have the gift of going back to being a child and having my brain develop around this instrument.” quote by Lola Kirke — Download Open image
