Meaning of the quote

The quote suggests that the most important thing is not the physical object itself, but the idea or concept behind it. The musician is saying that the thoughts and thinking that go into creating something are more important than the final product. In other words, the creative process and the inspiration that leads to an idea are more meaningful than the actual thing that is made.
