But I was lucky because if I'd grown up in Chile, I would be something very normal, like an engineer. I would've taken the normal, academic route. In South America, you either go academic, studying a particular subject, or you have to work. There's no in-between. In Europe, the possibilities are much bigger – you have the possibility to find alternative ways of life, to earn a living with music or whatever art you want.
So growing up I was surrounded by mathematics and music, which are quite similar. Music is like the mathematics of feelings. There is a certain connection between the two.

Further proof that people who consider themselves to be intelligent are usually pretty stupid.
This is something I was thinking about earlier today... I work in two different places right now, and in both places, there are two ladies that have a very strange thing in common: one loathes the other, and one thinks she's exactly what the other is.
For example, in one place, there's this woman that thinks she's the epitome of femininity and class, though she's far from that. And, she doesn't get along with this other woman who she considers to be "a peasant" - and that happens to be both feminine and classy.
In the other place, there's a woman that thinks she's a myth (I'm serious), and reckons all students should worship her because she's the brightest person around ever. It turns out, however, that the "bimbo" she disdains the most is, by far, the most clever (and passionate) person we know, whereas the so-called myth just suffers from a pathetic delusion of grandeur.
Makes you think...

It's pretty common for people to ridicule their opposites or people they'd like to be but can't, so it's kind of a protection mechanism that helps preserve ones self esteem, I think.

I know only a handful of people I'd consider really intelligent and they are never the ones to brag about it. On the other hand I've met many of those who constantly tell you about their good grades and how much their boss thinks of them and how they're far more clever that anybody who isn't currently in the room, etc. My standard response to this is always "Hiking Mount Ego again?".

Intelligent people are praised by others, "Intelligent people" praise themselves.
