A few can touch the magic string, and noisy fame is proud to win them: Alas for those that never sing, but die with all their music in them!

A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.

A good compromise, a good piece of legislation, is like a good sentence or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say, 'Huh. It works. It makes sense.'

A jazz musician can improvise based on his knowledge of music. He understands how things go together. For a chef, once you have that basis, that's when cuisine is truly exciting.

A lot of music is mathematics. It's balance.

A lot of music you might listen to is pretty vapid, it doesn't always deal with our deeper issues. These are the things I'm interested in now, particularly at my age.

A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music.

A lot of the music that you listen to now is because of the things that the Meters did, the Neville Brothers did, and they're there, the guys who invented those beats that the guys sample today. Such an enormous opportunity.

A man can stand a lot as long as he can stand himself. He can live without hope, without friends, without books, even without music, as long as he can listen to his own thoughts.

A movie goes from several stages, from idea to script. As you continue shooting, you will make some adjustments. You're constantly adjusting. It's like a piece of music. You're constantly trying to make it better.

A painter paints his pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. We provide the music, and you provide the silence.

Actors are agents of change. A film, a piece of theater, a piece of music, or a book can make a difference. It can change the world.

Adam does most of the work when it comes to videos and he basically does the same as I do with the lyrics. The videos are his visual interpretations of our music.

Adult life is dealing with an enormous amount of questions that don't have answers. So I let the mystery settle into my music. I don't deny anything, I don't advocate anything, I just live with it.

After all, in today's music scene every band seems to steal from other bands.

After my tour I had time to stay at home, be with my boyfriend and hang out with friends and that brought me down to earth and helped me write music from a more relaxed place.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

Agressive music can only shock you once. Afterwards its impact declines. It's inevitable.

Ah, reality TV: where opportunists delight in exposing opportunism! It's kind of like the indie music scene.

Ain't nobody making music to not be heard and the easiest way to be heard is to be on the radio, but you should never compromise who you are, your values or your morals.

Alas! all music jars when the soul's out of tune.

All art constantly aspires towards the condition of music.

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.

All I do is play music and golf - which one do you want me to give up?

All music is beautiful.

All music is folk music. I ain't never heard a horse sing a song.

All my concerts had no sounds in them they were completely silent. People had to make up their own music in their minds!

All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock, I don't subscribe to any of that. It's all just music. I mean, the heavy metal from the '70s sounds nothing like the stuff from the '80s, and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the '90s. Who's to say what is and isn't a certain type of music?

All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock, I don't subscribe to any of that. It's all just music. I mean, the heavy metal from the Seventies sounds nothing like the stuff from the Eighties, and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the Nineties. Who's to say what is and isn't a certain type of music?

All the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff.

Also, because people like to multitask, in a way if you've got a bit of music on in the background and the lyrical content is making you want to listen to it, then that would probably put you off the texting you wanted to do. I think people like things that just make that right kind of noise, but leave your brain free to do something else.

Although they can do it all the time, you know, they're far better than me, on a musically, on a theoretical music level. You know, they're out of my league.

And whether you're drawn to gospel music or church music or honky-tonk music, it informs your character and it informs your talent.

And why is our music called world music? I think people are being polite. What they want to say is that it's third world music. Like they use to call us under developed countries, now it has changed to developing countries, it's much more polite.

And you have a record company behind it, this is a key too, you need people to fight for your records, at least a little bit. So if you have a great song, it's catchy, and you've got a little bit of help, I think that's all you need. But there hasn't been that in music.

Any good music must be an innovation.

Anything I do has to be directly related to my music. If it isn't, I don't really see a point to it.

Art gives me the freedom I don't have when I make music.

As a boy, I'd always had an interest in theater. But the idea at my school was that drama and music were to round out the man. It wasn't what one did for a living. I got over that.

As a rule, my focus is on classical music, but I love jazz. I love everything, actually.

At home I'm just a guy who has interests that extend far beyond music.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the ambition of the great painters was to make paintings that were like music, which was then considered as the noblest art.

Australia is so cool that it's hard to even know where to start describing it. The beaches are beautiful so is the weather. Not too crowded. Great food, great music, really nice people. It must be a lot like Los Angeles was many years ago.

Avant-garde music is sort of research music. You're glad someone's done it but you don't necessarily want to listen to it.

Back then people closed their eyes and listened to music. Today there's a lot of images that go with the music. A lot of music is crap and it's all commercial and the images are all trying to sell the record.

Bands are about these little relationships that make everything tick, and when you create new music you're testing those relationships.

Beautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations of the soul it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us.

Because of the Thames I have always loved inland waterways - water in general, water sounds - there's music in water. Brooks babbling, fountains splashing. Weirs, waterfalls tumbling, gushing.

Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.

Before I settled on music, I wanted to be an archaeologist, an astronaut, all sorts of really diverse things.

Before you can make good music, you just have to shut up. Then the music can say what it has to say.

Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours.

Big companies are like marching bands. Even if half the band is playing random notes, it still sounds kind of like music. The concealment of failure is built into them.

Bluegrass has brought more people together and made more friends than any music in the world. You meet people at festivals and renew acquaintances year after year.

Blues and soul and jazz music has so much pain, so much beauty of raw emotion and passion.

Boy bands should be exploded from a great height. They're just pretty people singing music written by others.

But for the children of the poorest people we're stripping the curriculum, removing the arts and music, and drilling the children into useful labor. We're not valuing a child for the time in which she actually is a child.

But however measurable, there is much more life in music than mathematics or logic ever dreamed of.

But I did go to music really early on, even when I was 4 or 5, I was responding to music probably in ways other kids were not.

But I feel music has a very important role in ritual activity, and that being able to join in musical activity, along with dancing, could have been necessary at a very early stage of human culture.

But maybe music was not intended to satisfy the curious definiteness of man. Maybe it is better to hope that music may always be transcendental language in the most extravagant sense.

But recently I began to feel that maybe I wouldn't be able to do what I want to do and need to do with American musicians, who are imprisoned behind these bars music's got these bars and measures you know.

But when you get music and words together, that can be a very powerful thing.

Certainly tolerance and acceptance were at the forefront of my music.

Choreography is mentally draining, but there's a pleasure in getting into the studio with the dancers and the music.

Christianity helps us face the music even when we don't like the tune.

Cinematography is infinite in its possibilities... much more so than music or language.

City people live the city. We live in L.A., New York, we live in places where it's chaotic and you never know what's gonna happen. And that's the music - you never know what's gonna happen.

Classical music is the kind we keep thinking will turn into a tune.

Close friends contribute to our personal growth. They also contribute to our personal pleasure, making the music sound sweeter, the wine taste richer, the laughter ring louder because they are there.

Color is a plastic means of creating intervals... color harmonics produced by special relationships, or tensions. We differentiate now between formal tensions and color tensions, just as we differentiate in music between counterpoint and harmony.

Comedy is like music, and the way to make the best music is to have skilled musicians in your band.

Commitments are one of the worst things to have in the music business. They're very annoying.

Composers shouldn't think too much - it interferes with their plagiarism.

Country music has always sort of been country music.

Country music is about new love and it's about old love.

Country music is important to me, and I love it, but it's not my whole life.

Death is the king of this world: 'Tis his park where he breeds life to feed him. Cries of pain are music for his banquet.

Def Leppard is obviously a different band that we are, but the music work well tighter. And the audiences seem work well together too. We are opening, but we're having a good time.

Develop an interest in life as you see it the people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.

Develop interest in life as you see it in people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.

Disco is music for dancing, and people will always want to dance.

Distance doesn't exist, in fact, and neither does time. Vibrations from love or music can be felt everywhere, at all times.

Do I listen to pop music because I'm miserable or am I miserable because listen to pop music?

Does art have a future? Performance genres like opera, theater, music and dance are thriving all over the world, but the visual arts have been in slow decline for nearly 40 years. No major figure of profound influence has emerged in painting or sculpture since the waning of Pop Art and the birth of Minimalism in the early 1970s.

Don't make music for some vast, unseen audience or market or ratings share or even for something as tangible as money. Though it's crucial to make a living, that shouldn't be your inspiration. Do it for yourself.

Dre was one of my heros in the music industry. If he's not down for his homeboys, I don't wanna be a part of him or around him.

Dreams do come true, even for someone who couldn't speak English and never had a music lesson or much of an education.

Drums just always sounded like the most fun part of that good music for me.

Editing is now the easiest thing on earth to do, and all the things that evolved out of word processing - 'Oh, let's put that sentence there, let's get rid of this' - have become commonplace in films and music too.

Entertainment came out of this thing called a television, and it was gray. Most of the films that we saw at the cinema were black and white. It was a gray world. And music somehow was in color.

Entertainment isn't just based on the very structured syndrome of European popular music, and it's great that there are so many thousands of people who are of the same opinion.

Even from a listening end now, I'm still completely a fan of music.

Every day that is born into the world comes like a burst of music and rings the whole day through, and you make of it a dance, a dirge, or a life march, as you will.

Everything revolves around the music when it comes to Tool.

Everything we release with Tool is inspired by our music.

Everywhere I go I buy new music shirts.

Everywhere in the world, music enhances a hall, with one exception: Carnegie Hall enhances the music.

Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.

Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.

First of all, the music that people call Latin or Spanish is really African. So Black people need to get the credit for that.

Folk music is a bunch of fat people.

For instance, I'm always fascinated to see whether, given the kind of fairly known and established form called popular music, whether there is some magic combination that nobody has hit upon before.

For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.

For me music is a vehicle to bring our pain to the surface, getting it back to that humble and tender spot where, with luck, it can lose its anger and become compassion again.

For me the visual is just as important as the music.

For me, great music doesn't just have to fall into one category or one genre and I love appreciating all kinds of music.

For me, music and life are all about style.

For some reason, the evolutionists have not come up with an evolution-based explanation for why human beings react so powerfully to music. But surely they will.

For some young people, their first experience ever hearing punk rock music was playing the Green Bay Packers on 'Madden'.

For the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling the whole state since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions.

For whatever reason, not all people are born with the particular gift of being able to express ourselves through music. And, believe me, it is a gift.

From childhood I was passionately fond of music and wanted to be a musician. I have no recollection of any real desire ever to be anything else.

From the beginning, I knew intuitively that if nothing else, music was safe, and that nobody could tell me anything about it. Music didn't need a middleman, whereas all the other things in school needed some kind of explanation.

Getting into music has changed my personality and way of doing things. I'm far more open now.

Good music comes out of people playing together, knowing what they want to do and going for it. You have to sweat over it and bug it to death. You can't do it by pushing buttons and watching a TV screen.

Good music is good music, and everything else can go to hell.

Good music is very close to primitive language.

Great art is as irrational as great music. It is mad with its own loveliness.

Great classic music that I've been turned on to has not only inspired and influenced me, but it has had an effect on my songwriting.

Great music is in a sense serene it is certain of the values it asserts.

Great music is its own movie, already. And the challenge, as a music fan, is to keep the song as powerful as it wants to be, to not tamper with it and to somehow give it a home.

Half the battle is selling music, not singing it. It's the image, not what you sing.

Half the time I feel like I'm appealing to the downer freaks out there. We start to play one downer record after another until I begin to get down myself. Give me something from 1960 or something let me get up again. The music of today is for downer freaks, and I'm an upper.

Have you listened to the radio lately? Have you heard the canned, frozen and processed product being dished up to the world as American popular music today?

He has Van Gogh's ear for music.

Hearing my songs in public freaks me out a bit. There was one restaurant I really liked in L.A., but I had to stop going there when they started playing my music. It felt kinda awkward.

Hell is full of musical amateurs.

High school music teachers... nobody makes a living off it.

Hip-Hop isn't just music, it is also a spiritual movement of the blacks! You can't just call Hip-Hop a trend!

Hip-hop's always reached out to kids. If you look at the last 10 big albums it might seem ironic. But when I look at the history of this music it's always had a lot of positivity.

Hopefully people can see my music is tethered to my brain.

Human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars.

Hunting, fishing, drawing, and music occupied my every moment. Cares I knew not, and cared naught about them.

I alone of English writers have consciously set myself to make music out of what I may call the sound of sense.

I always believed in the music we did and that's why it was uncompromising.

I always knew I'd be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn't know if I'd be successful at it, but I knew I'd be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store. Maybe even play in a band. I never got into this to be a star.

I always preferred to hang out with the outcasts, 'cause they were cooler they had better taste in music, for one thing, I guess because they had more time to develop one with the lack of social interaction they had!

I always want to write erotic music... Not only about the love between men and women, but in a much more universal sense - about the sensuality of the mechanism of the universe... about life.

I always wanted my music to influence the life you were living emotionally - with your family, your lover, your wife, and, at a certain point, with your children.

I am happy to make money. I want to make more money, make more music, eat Big Macs and drink Budweisers.

I am severely distracted these days. It's hard to sit in front of the computer, uploading bad music for hours, when you have a wonderful boyfriend who treats you like a Goddess.

I am trying to walk a tightrope trying to keep the DJ community happy while trying to spread the message about dance music to more people. That is the mission that I am on.

I asked my daughter when she was 16, What's the buzz on the street with the kids? She's going, to be honest, Dad, most of my friends aren't into Kiss. But they've all been told that it's the greatest show on Earth.

I basically get stereotyped a lot in terms of being a girl and writing 'chick' music for teenage girls or something. I think, if anything, the press kind of, because of my gender and my age, tends to kind of relegate my work to this sort of special-interest group. It's part of the cultural dynamic, I guess.

I became a set designer for opera. I'm a great opera buff, I love classical music, and I needed a time-out.

I became alienated from this religious upbringing, and started making music. I wanted to be a big star. All those things I saw in the films and on the media took hold of me, and perhaps I thought this was my god: the goal of making money.

I became interested in folk music because I had to make it somehow.

I believe 100 percent in the power and importance of music.

I believe music should reflect yourself in some way and not just yourself at the given time. I feel that when you die or when you're going, someone's supposed to listen to that music and know everything about you. And I just try to get that across.

I believe that music is a force in itself. It is there and it needs an outlet, a medium. In a way, we are just the medium.

I believe that music is another form of news. Music is another form of journalism to me so I have to cover all the areas with my album.

I call architecture frozen music.

I came into music just because I wanted the bread. It's true. I looked around and this seemed like the only way I was going to get the kind of bread I wanted.

I came through folk music simply because it was easy to get into it.

I can play punk rock, and I love playing punk rock, but I was into every other style of music before I played punk rock.

I can sing very comfortably from my vantage point because a lot of the music was about a loss of innocence, there's innocence contained in you but there's also innocence in the process of being lost.

I can't satisfy myself with just trying to tie all of my imagination into music, especially when music is not appreciated as an art form as much as it used to be.

I can't think of one person I've ever met who didn't like some type of music.

I could always sing, from a really young age, but my voice was really weird. I used to make my mum turn up the radio every day in our house. She was well into music so I got that from her.

I dabbled in things like Howlin' Wolf, Cream and Led Zeppelin, but when I heard Son House and Robert Johnson, it blew my mind. It was something I'd been missing my whole life. That music made me discard everything else and just get down to the soul and honesty of the blues.

I decided to make music again at a time when I couldn't have had more obstacles.

I decided to pursue music, so I dropped out of school and I told my parents I didn't want any money from them. I got three jobs and I just hit the ground running.

I didn't have nothin' going for me... school, home... until I found something I loved, which was music, and that changed everything.

I didn't know much about him, and I wasn't a big country music fan. I listened to the Beatles and David Bowie, so I didn't know a lot about him.

I didn't really see the British punk movement, if that's what it was, as wildly original, because I had been listening so intently to all the New York music since 1973, really.

I didn't think it was fair to my music to label me as the daughter of somebody - I didn't think it described me very well and I didn't think it had anything to do with my music.

I didn't want to go out and change anything. I just wanted to make the music that was part of my background, which was rock and blues and hip-hop.

I do love country music.

I don't actually have a lot of discipline. I've worked hard at music. But I feel like you know, I felt like kind of natural at it. I always had a knack for it.

I don't care much about music. What I like is sounds.

I don't care what people say. My music's, my music.

I don't have any real spirituality in my life - I'm kind of an atheist - but when music can take me to the highest heights, it's almost like a spiritual feeling. It fills that void for me.

I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to.

I don't know why, it's the same reason why you like some music and you don't like others. There's something about it that you like. Ultimately I don't find it's in my best interests to try and analyze it, since it's fundamentally emotional.

I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'.

I don't like headphones very much, and I rarely listen to music on headphones.

I don't like painting flowers in my music. I like painting guts and pain.

I don't like rap music at all. I don't think it's music. It's just a beat and rapping.

I don't like to be labeled, to be anything. I've made the mistake before myself of labeling my music, but it's counter-productive.

I don't listen to a lot of new stuff. I just like the old stuff. It's all quite dramatic and atmospheric. You'd have an entire story in song. I never listen to, like, white music - I couldn't sing you a Zeppelin or Floyd song.

I don't make music for eyes. I make music for ears.

I don't need anybody to market or promote me. If people don't want to hear this music, then it's not for them. You cannot please everybody.

I don't need my phone to play me music. I need it to be a phone and an e-mail thing.

I don't profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime, for instance.

I don't read music. I don't write it. So I wander around on the guitar until something starts to present itself.

I don't really have a style icon but I really admire the way people dress like Gaga, Rihanna and Gwen Stefani. It's good to be inspired by singers who write music and dress incredibly - rather than models and people in the fashion industry who dress immaculately anyway because it's their style.

I don't see music as working.

I don't think I'd ever make an album of just covers because I love writing my own music.

I don't want to be an artist, go on tour and make a video and wear sexy clothes. I would just love to make music.

I don't want to limit myself musically. It would be really limiting if we'd neglect something we really want to do, like explore other styles of music.

I don't want to make niche-oriented music.

I don't write poems and put them to music. Just let things flow.

I doubt I'll be singing forever, because at some point people aren't going to want to hear my music, and I hope that I'll still get the opportunity to write songs.

I dropped out of NYU, moved out of my parent's house, got my own place, and survived on my own. I made music and worked my way from the bottom up.

I enjoy all forms of music - pop, classical and opera.

I enjoy being happy every day, and hopefully you can hear my happiness in my music. Life is beautiful.

I feel good about being able to take bluegrass on to television like 'Letterman' and 'The View,' and I've heard nice things about being able to do that. I really haven't felt any negativity toward me or my music.

I feel like every project I've ever done has had music involved in it somehow.

I feel this music has nurtured me as I've been immersing myself in it. I've felt supported by it.

I find Indian music very funky. I mean it's very soulful, with their own kind of blues. But it's the only other school on the planet that develops improvisation to the high degree that you find in jazz music. So we have a lot of common ground.

I find that classical music helps put me in a place that is very calming and allows me to express emotion through my body. I played clarinet as a child, so I guess I have a bit of a musical ear.

I find that it isn't wise to attempt to judge people on their public persona, and even on the music they make. Because I've met so many people whose music I cannot stand, and they're very nice. At the same time, I've met people whose music I've loved, and they're not the person you've invested all this emotion in.

I found music to be the therapy of choice.

I genuinely don't feel that anything that's been written or said about me has overshadowed my music, and that's the most important thing as far as I'm concerned.

I get caught up in my bubble of reading, writing, or music.

I got interested in the idea of music that could make itself, in a sense, in the mid 1960s really, when I first heard composers like Terry Riley, and when I first started playing with tape recorders.

I grew up with classical music when I was a ballet dancer. Now when I have to prepare an emotional scene, to cry or whatever, I listen to sonatas. Vivaldi and stuff. It's just beautiful to me.

I guess you could say I devoted myself so strongly to my music that for awhile I forgot about my family. But I only get one set of parents, and I think I forgot about that for a little while.

I had spent many years pursuing excellence, because that is what classical music is all about... Now it was dedicated to freedom, and that was far more important.

I had to learn my faith and look after my family, and I had to make priorities. But now I've done it all and there's a little space for me to fill in the universe of music again.

I had to resign myself, many years ago, that I'm not too articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel about things. But my music does it for me, it really does.

I happened to come along in the music business when there was no trend.

I hate most of what constitutes rock music, which is basically middle-aged crap.

I hate the rock music tradition. I can't bear it!

I have a big problem with piped music. I like either silence or to listen to it properly.

I have a sweet tooth for song and music. This is my Polish sin.

I have a very lively and colourful show. It's two hours of hits and the music speaks for itself.

I have enough music coming out of my kids' bedrooms when I'm at home.

I have never denied my background or my culture. I have taught my child to embrace her Mexican heritage, to love my first language, Spanish, to learn about Mexican history, music, folk art, food, and even the Mexican candy I grew up with.

I have one piece of music, since 1997, and I don't see it having lyrics. Where does it go in this world? So I haven't recorded it.

I have so many opinions about everything it just comes out during my music. It's a battle for me. I try not to be preachy. That's a real danger.

I have such happy memories of performing in a choir and I don't think I'd have got where I am today without all that experience. So my advice to young singers is to either join your school or church's choir or find one in your local area. Choral music at any level teaches you so much about musicianship and blending your voice.

I have terrible hearing trouble. I have unwittingly helped to invent and refine a type of music that makes its principal proponents deaf.

I haven't heard any music on the BBC World Service in a long time. Maybe I'm listening at the wrong times. But not one single piece of music.

I haven't understood a bar of music in my life, but I have felt it.

I heard someone from the music business saying they are no longer looking for talent, they want people with a certain look and a willingness to cooperate.

I hope that what you take away from my album is not just the music - which I did want to be fun, and I did want it to be about individuality, but please also take away from it that there's no dream that's too big.

I just change with the times. I really don't have a say in what's going on. Music was here before me.

I just do what I do. I like to make music.

I just go with the flow, so any style can be in my music - that makes it exciting.

I just hope that our fans are people who are inspired by music, and just use our music as a background or inspiration for whatever it is they do.

I just want to keep making music, recording and trying different things. I don't want to do the same thing all the time.

I just want to keep writing music.

I just want to make music, I don't want people to talk about me. All I've ever wanted to do was sing. I don't want to be a celebrity. I don't want to be in people's faces, you know, constantly on covers of magazine that I haven't even known I'm on.

I just want to make my music, and I want it to stand on its own.

I know music is subjective.

I know that I can sing. That's the reason I started playing music when I was twelve years old.

I learnt a whole lot from my mother. About music, relationships, being a good person, loving people, the whole of life. I learnt about everything from her. Every single day I think about her. All through the day.

I like all kinds of music. I listen to Abigail Washburn, the Punch Brothers, and Marc Johnson, the great clawhammer player. I also listen a lot to Sirius Radio, there's a lot of bluegrass there.

I like having my hair and face done, but I'm not going to lose weight because someone tells me to. I make music to be a musician not to be on the cover of Playboy.

I like music that's more offensive. I like it to sound like nails on a blackboard, get me wild.

I like pop music. I consider rock 'n' roll to be a branch of pop music.

I like so many different kinds of music just because all I did was listen to the radio as a kid.

I like to comprehend more or less everything around me - apart from the creation of my music. It's an obsessive character trait that's getting worse. I don't switch the light on and off 15 times before I leave the room yet, but something's going wrong.

I like to hang out with my friends. I love music. I like to go to the movies. I like to eat. I like to cook.

I like when guests come over early and we chop veggies and talk and play music.

I listen to crazy, robust rock music where they sing their faces off, and soul music, which can be similar.

I listen to music for emotion and I get zero emotion from rap.

I listen to music that is of our time and I just get angry.

I listened, motionless and still And, as I mounted up the hill, The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more.

I love 70's music.

I love country music, blues, and punk, and one day I might make those kinds of records.

I love music passionately. And because I love it I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it.

I love music.

I love music. It's freedom, a way to deal with pent-up frustration.

I love recording music.

I love rock-n-roll. I think it's an exciting art form. It's revolutionary. Still revolutionary and it changed people. It changed their hearts. But yeah, even rock-n-roll has a lot of rubbish, really bad music.

I love slow music.

I love that sense of change that you'd get in pop music every three minutes, every four minutes.

I love to listen to pop music and I admire people who do that, but I don't think I would ever be a very good pop star. I always leave that singing voice for the shower! I wouldn't put it out in the world!

I love to make music and stay grounded.

I love to play music. So why endanger that with something like drugs?

I love Wagner, but the music I prefer is that of a cat hung up by its tail outside a window and trying to stick to the panes of glass with its claws.

I maintain that when I finally retire from my career in music, I will go and live back in Wales - when I am an old person, if I live to be an old person. The water I miss, and the air, there's something different about it. And I miss the simple life.

I make a lot of pieces of music that I never release as CDs.

I mean, just because you're a musician doesn't mean all your ideas are about music. So every once in a while I get an idea about plumbing, I get an idea about city government, and they come the way they come.

I mean, music totally comes from your soul.

I need drama in my life to keep making music.

I need music. It's like my heartbeat, so to speak. It keeps me going no matter what's going on - bad games, press, whatever!

I never gave up on country music because I knew what I was doing was not that bad.

I only want to make music because I have a passion for it.

I plan to stay in music. I plan to keep making records.

I practice and work hard at my music, but I'm not saving lives here.

I quit high school on my birthday. It was my senior year and I didn't see the point. This was 1962, and I was ready to make music.

I realised a long time ago that instrumental music speaks a lot more clearly than English, Spanish, Yiddish, Swahili, any other language. Pure melody goes outside time.

I realized that it's all really one, that John Lennon was correct. We utilize the music to bring down the walls of Berlin, to bring up the force of compassion and forgiveness and kindness between Palestines, Hebrews. Bring down the walls here in San Diego, Tijuana, Cuba.

I really like all music, but mostly Country, older R&B, and the good classic rock.

I remember when I was coming up, the music stores where you could get guitar strings was where I got my records from. Now the place where you get your records from is where you can get your DJ mats and your mixers.

I saw music as a way to entertain people and take them away from their daily lives and put smiles on their faces, as opposed to what I see it being now, which is a way for me to actually communicate, and a way for me to tap into my subconscious.

I scientifically engineer my music to be as accessible as possible.

I see a lot of connections between folk and punk music just because they're both subcorporate music - I mean, traditionally.

I see music as fluid architecture.

I see music as one language. If one musical form eats its own tail, it dies. So it needs to be a mongrel, it needs to be hybridised.

I seriously hate pop music and all things super-commercial.

I sing a mixture of everything from opera, folk music, Broadway. It's a mix of things.

I start really missing London when I go away. I have a little flat, but very central. I live above a pub and you'd think it'd be a nightmare, but I like hearing the music and it's quite comforting.

I started playing piano when I was 6. And I knew that wanted to be involved in that form of expression, whether it was through music, or acting, or dancing, or painting, or writing.

I started writing rhymes first and then put it to the music. I figured out I could lock it to the beat better if I heard the music first. I like to get a lot of tracks, put the track up and let the music talk to me about what it's about.

I still absolutely love 'The Sound of Music' and anything with Julie Andrews in it.

I supply the music for Vampires, which is a new series that's coming out.

I suppose that by being absent from the music business, it appeared that I just dropped out, but really I never did. I was continuously working and doing various things.

I sure saw a lot of kids that I'm sure didn't know a lot about us, or we were definitely new to them. The kids who came up to me afterward, we'd talk about music, sign a lot of autographs. So I'm sure we made a lot of new fans.

I tend to score with songs from Western pop music.

I think ABBA have a pure joy to their music and that's what makes them extraordinary.

I think everybody can agree that you can hear a certain song and it will put you in a certain mood, and that's just the beauty of music and I am so inspired by that.

I think everything Joni Mitchell did for music was big.

I think I first realized I wanted to be in country music and be an artist when I was 10. And I started dragging my parents to festivals, and fairs, and karaoke contests, and I did that for about a year before I came to Nashville for the first time. I was 11 and I had this demo CD of me singing Dixie Chicks and Leanne Rimes songs.

I think I'm a music fan before anything else.

I think it's a mistake where rap music is these days. It doesn't seem to be able to look out of the ghetto and that's ultimately unfortunate, because it defines our limitations.

I think it's important for people who love music to retain physical CDs or even vinyl, because it sounds so great and so much warmer than music over the internet.

I think its so cool that you can pick up the guitar and create something that didn't exist 5 minutes ago. You can write something that no ones ever heard before. You have music at your fingertips.

I think Lady Gaga is great and is changing pop music and bringing back a certain rock 'n' roll spirit, swagger to the game.

I think maybe because of the kind of music I sing, people want to believe you're a diva. They can't believe after eight years, and eight albums, you're still relatively sane. I feel like they almost want me to throw something at somebody.

I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.

I think music is the greatest art form that exists, and I think people listen to music for different reasons, and it serves different purposes. Some of it is background music, and some of it is things that might affect a person's day, if not their life, or change an attitude. The best songs are the ones that make you feel something.

I think music is the most phenomenal platform for intellectual thought.

I think often sadness is a great place to get songs from.

I think older people can appreciate my music because I really show my heart when I sing, and it's not corny. I think I can grow as an artist, and my fans will grow with me.

I think one of my favorite things to do is just lock myself up in a small room and listen to music and watch films for a day. Also I just like seeing my friends. We have pizza parties which means I get four friends round, we eat a pizza and we're really lazy and we play PlayStation.

I think people need to have fun with whatever they're doing - makeup, their clothes, music, live shows - anything you don't need to take too seriously, don't take too seriously.

I think Ray Charles did as much as anybody when he did his country music album. Ray Charles broke down borders and showed the similarities between country music and R&B.

I think that a song, when it works, never mind a piece of long form music, even a song is something that speaks to itself but has a language all of its own, ideally.

I think that is what film and art and music do they can work as a map of sorts for your feelings.

I think the difficult thing is the transition between TV competition series and going into the actual music industry. There still seems to be a slight disconnect there.

I think the drummer should sit back there and play some drums, and never mind about the tunes. Just get up there and wail behind whoever is sitting up there playing the solo. And this is what is lacking, definitely lacking in music today.

I think the most important thing about music is the sense of escape.

I think the pop chart today is entirely market-driven. And it has nothing to do with public taste. And it has nothing to do with moving music forward. It's simply a market chart.

I think the world is ready for some rock 'n' roll. Some real time guys that play their own instruments, write their own songs, and sing the music and have a good time doing it.

I think there are unseen powers who don't want pop music to be anything other than glorified Madonnas.

I think there's nothing better than seeing a three-chord straight up rock 'n' roll band in your face with sweaty music and three minute good songs.

I think we're about ready for a new feeling to enter music. I think that will come from the Arabic world.

I think what I'm going to do is get more balance in my life to still be able to go out and play the hard rock 'n' roll and do what I like to do in music.

I try to devote my afternoons to making music in my home studio, but it's a lot more fun hanging out with musicians and friends, and trying subtly to influence a band than making your own stuff.

I try to just make music that I love, and if I believe in it that's all that matters.

I try to use my music to move these people to act.

I turned to music originally because of my past and needing a release or an outlet to get out anger or frustration or hurt.

I used to go to Bourbon Street when I was a kid and there would be club after club after club of people who were around when the music started. I mean these are legendary, maybe not so well known, but legendary musicians.

I wake up in the morning, I do a little stretching exercises, pick up the horn and play.

I want my fans to love themselves. It's almost like I want to hypnotize them so when they hear my music they love themselves instantly.

I want my music to do the explaining.

I wanted to get rid of the element that had been considered essential in pop music: the voice.

I wanted to take up music, so my father bought me a blunt instrument. He told me to knock myself out.

I was a big fan of Middle Eastern elements of music and experimental electronic and tribal sounds.

I was a good amateur but only an average professional. I soon realized that there was a limit to how far I could rise in the music business, so I left the band and enrolled at New York University.

I was always struck by how Picasso had no interest in music.

I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me-like food or water.

I was doing these performance art pop music pieces in the city. And they were a bit on the eccentric side I suppose. So people started to call me Gaga after the Queen song 'Radio Gaga.'

I was fantasising about my own death, I started thinking what my funeral would be like and what music would be played, I was at that level of insanity.

I was growing up listening to Queen. Freddie Mercury threw those incredible melodies into his songs.

I was in choir in school. I kind of just did it. I already knew I wanted to sing. My music program in my school wasn't really great - people didn't really want to be part of the choir, they didn't want to do the plays and stuff like that. It definitely wasn't the cool thing to do.

I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter, the sound of which has always seemed to me the most civilised music in the world.

I was never too keen on the British music press. They've called us a supermarket hype, and they used to suggest that we didn't write our own songs.

I wasn't very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me, it was all about jazz.

I worked hard all my life as far as this music business. I dreamed of the day when I could go to New York and feel comfortable and they could come out here and be comfortable.

I would be a huge hypocrite if I didn't tell you that at one time in my life I thought the way that you made music was you got on a major label and you got famous.

I would love to continue in music, with writing... but I am not the kind of person who will hang around if I start to become irrelevant. If that happens, I will bow down gracefully, raise my kids, and have a garden. And I am going to let my hair go gray when I am older. I don't need to be blonde when I'm 60!

I would say that although my music may be or may have been part of the cultural background fabric of the gay community, I consider myself an outsider who belongs everywhere and nowhere... Being a human being is what truly counts. That's where you'll find me.

I write music every day.

I write music with an exclamation point!

I write the music, produce it and the band plays within the parameters that I set.

I write the vocals last, because I wanted to invent the music first and push the music to the level that I had to compete against it.

I'd call what I do pop music, but it's folky and electronic and it doesn't really sound like much else.

I'd love it if American kids were listening to Muslim music.

I'd love to do a modern-day musical that's full of original music. To get your contemporaries to sing and dance without looking foolish and for it to be transformational and magical and all those things a musical is supposed to be.

I'll give up this sort of touring madness certainly, but music-everything is based on music. No, I'll never stop my music.

I'm a big collector of vinyl - I have a record room in my house - and I've always had a huge soundtrack album collection. So what I do, as I'm writing a movie, is go through all those songs, trying to find good songs for fights, or good pieces of music to layer into the film.

I'm a Cancerian, the typical crab with the tough outer shell and the soft bit in the middle. I don't think I'll ever come to terms with people being unnecessarily nasty, but I can take it if someone doesn't like my music - I'm not everyone's cup of tea.

I'm a good music provider, and I'm fine with that. I'm a quality music manufacturer.

I'm always going to do that - record and make music.

I'm clearly most well known for my music. Eventually, ultimately, I'll be writing books. I'm still writing articles now. I just consider myself a writer.

I'm constantly thinking about what I'll do next. I never count on music being a career of longevity. I mean, longevity is key, and I hope that it lasts, but you just don't know, because it's not in your hands, you don't make the decision.

I'm enamored with the art world. Anytime you look at anything that's considered artistic, there's a commercial world around it: the ballet, opera, any kind of music. It can't exist without it.

I'm just lucky because my kids are grown-up - I love them, very proud of them, and we are in close contact as big-time friends, but they don't need me that much now and I can actually enjoy this wonderful world of music.

I'm not saying I wasn't flawed or amateurish. But you can never say I did anything to appease the music business.

I'm not suggesting people abandon musical instruments and start playing their cars and apartments, but I do think the reign of music as a commodity made only by professionals might be winding down.

I'm not terribly happy about rock and roll. Certain rock music is uninspiring, numbing it makes you feel like an idiot.

I'm not trying to clock scores in this lifetime, it's just that things are better now than they were like five, ten years ago. Music has gotten a lot better. There's a lot of people who are committed to - soulfully.

I'm not trying to keep up or adapt. I'm allowing myself to grow, evolve and create new music.

I'm obsessed with the countryside: woods, forests, fields, lakes, mountains. I'm really into folk music and folklore. But more so I'm into electronic music. I'm into bands that have both aspects, like Boards of Canada is a perfect example. You could listen to that type of music running through a woods. It's kind of what I wanted to achieve.

I'm prepared to spend the rest of my life playing clubs, if that means I'm playing music that I believe in.

I'm quite private. And I never wanted to be the biggest star in the world, really. So in that sense I've got a good balance of doing great shows, of making an appearance every now and then and writing music, and I don't really have to do much else.

I'm really an inner spirit that only makes itself known through the music. A lot of people think I'm an introvert, or quiet and moody. I've even heard some people say that there's a certain mystery or darkness about me. I'm not that way. I'm just really into what I do.

I'm very inspired by past music.

I'm well past the age where I'm acceptable. You get to a certain age and you are forbidden access. You're not going to get the kind of coverage that you would like in music magazines, you're not going to get played on radio and you're not going to get played on television. I have to survive on word of mouth.

I'm writing constantly about all my crazy experiences across the world, so I have a lot of music I've already written.

I've accomplished enough with the music that I haven't had to go out there and do other things to over-saturate.

I've always been suspicious of TV, I've always found music and video to be an unhappy marriage.

I've always said that Adele has turned so many people on to British singers - whether female singers or just like music from this country in general.

I've been a fan of electronic music since the beginning.

I've been all over the world. I love New York, I love Paris, San Francisco, so many places. But there's no place like New Orleans. It's got the best food. It's got the best music. It's got the best people. It's got the most fun stuff to do.

I've been composing music all my life and if I'd been clever enough at school I would like to have gone to music college.

I've been really enjoying writing articles and writing music and music for movies.

I've been told the weirdest things: 'Yeah, I love taking a bath to your music!' or 'I gave birth to my daughter while listening to your music.'

I've been trying to learn how to not be so conflicted about things like my own anger. I've always had a place in my music for my anger as a way of compensating for not having a mechanism to express it in my everyday life. So I've been trying to be more true to myself, and that helps me to chill out a little bit. But politically, uh-uh. No.

I've done some acting and a lot of different things, but mostly it's the music.

I've got a feeling that music might not be the most interesting place to be in the world of things.

I've had to keep exploring different ways of presenting the music so I don't repeat myself.

I've loved Michael Jackson, his music, his music videos.

I've never believed that pop music is escapist trash. There's always a darkness in it, even amidst great pop music.

I've never had a very quiet voice. I tried in choir to make it smaller, and it just didn't work out. And I listened to a lot of soul music when I was growing up on my own accord. But I was mostly into Mama Cass and Gladys Knight, and they all had big voices too just different than mine.

I've never intended to be controversial, but it's very easy to be controversial in pop music because nobody ever is.

I've noticed a lot of younger artists have less fear of doing different sorts of things, whether it's various types of music, or gallery artists moving between video and sculpture and drawing.

I've only been to Ireland once, and I felt I would wake up with voices in my head, almost like music, and that if I were a songwriter, I would be very inspired.

I've rarely seen video screens used well in a music concert.

I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed.

I've seen country music go uptown, like we say, and I'm proud I was there when it happened.

I've spent hours and hours doing research into Appalachian folk music. My grandfather was a fiddler. There is something very immediate, very simple and emotional, about that music.

I've studied various schools of thought... I acknowledge that some Muslims consider music prohibited, but I've found a lot of evidence from the life of the Prophet to show that he allowed certainly, but even encouraged, music at certain times.

I've sung other people's music all my life.

If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music.

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

If anyone asks you what kind of music you play, tell him 'pop.' Don't tell him 'rock'n'roll' or they won't even let you in the hotel.

If anything, a lot of electronic music is music that no one listens to at home, hardly. It's really only to be heard when everyone's out enjoying it.

If architecture is frozen music then music must be liquid architecture.

If I had to play only for people who liked the music because they heard it on the radio, it wouldn't make me happy. That's why I'm working so hard to have, yes, a profile as an artist, but also a profile as a DJ.

If I hadn't of had music in my life, it's quite possible I'd be dead and I'd much rather be alive.

If I'd had good discipline, I might have gone into music.

If music be the food of love, play on.

If music leaves any impression at all, it does so without regard to stylistic issues.

If not for music, I would probably be a very frustrated scientist. It's one way to answer the question, 'What is the meaning of life?' I feel music answers it better.

If one plays good music, people don't listen and if one plays bad music people don't talk.

If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don't back down.

If somebody for some reason, for music or for movie, becomes famous, it's because they have something, something special.

If the king loves music, there is little wrong in the land.

If you don't die of thirst, there are blessings in the desert. You can be pulled into limitlessness, which we all yearn for, or you can do the beauty of minutiae, the scrimshaw of tiny and precise. The sky is your ocean, and the crystal silence will uplift you like great gospel music, or Neil Young.

If you don't know the blues... there's no point in picking up the guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music.

If you like my music, great, and if you don't, whatever. I'm going to keep making it either way.

If you make music for the human needs you have within yourself, then you do it for all humans who need the same things. You enrich humanity with the profound expression of these feelings.

If you pour some music on whatever's wrong, it'll sure help out.

If you talk bad about country music, it's like saying bad things about my momma. Them's fightin' words.

If you think my music is sentimental and self-absorbed, I agree with you.

If you want to be a rock star or just be famous, then run down the street naked, you'll make the news or something. But if you want music to be your livelihood, then play, play, play and play! And eventually you'll get to where you want to be.

If you want to make beautiful music, you must play the black and the white notes together.

In a weird kind of way, music has afforded me an idealism and perfectionism that I could never attain as me.

In America, life is introverted, self-absorbed - and so is their music.

In England and Europe, we have this huge music called ambient - ambient techno, ambient house, ambient hip-hop, ambient this, ambient that.

In essence, String Theory describes space and time, matter and energy, gravity and light, indeed all of God's creation... as music.

In memory everything seems to happen to music.

In middle school, I really didn't have music, but in high school, I remember taking a lot of choir and drama.

In music the passions enjoy themselves.

In some ways, my gift for music and writing was born out of tragedy, really, and loss.

In the course of transferring all my CDs to my iPod, I have found myself wandering the musical hallways of my past and reacquainting myself with music I haven't listened to in years.

In these confused times, the role of classical music is at the very core of the struggle to reassert cultural and ethical values that have always characterized our country and for which we have traditionally been honored and respected outside our shores.

Inspiration for my music just comes from, you know, my life experiences.

It didn't even occur to me that I'm the last person in the world who should play salsa or Brazilian music.

It had never occurred to me before that music and thinking are so much alike. In fact you could say music is another way of thinking, or maybe thinking is another kind of music.

It is a wise tune that knows its own father, and I like my music to be the legitimate offspring of respectable parents.

It is essential to do everything possible to attract young people to opera so they can see that it is not some antiquated art form but a repository of the most glorious music and drama that man has created.

It is jazz music that called me to be a musician and I have always sang the songs that moved me the most.

It is jazz music that called me to be a musician and I have always sang the songs that moved me the most. Singers, like Frank Sinatra and myself, we interpret the songs that we like. Not unlike a Shakespearean actor that goes back to the greatest words ever written, we go back to the greatest songs.

It is piracy, not overt online music stores, which is our main competitor.

It is so characteristic, that just when the mechanics of reproduction are so vastly improved, there are fewer and fewer people who know how the music should be played.

It means so much being a part of country music and the Opry.

It seems almost backwards to me that my music seems the more emotional outlet, and the art stuff seems more about ideas.

It seems like a lot of music today is so churned out and simple.

It was all about music, about getting your friends to come and see you play. I don't see that same intimacy happening very much today.

It was Elvis who really got me hooked on beat music. When I heard 'Heartbreak Hotel' I thought, this is it.

It was my 16th birthday - my mom and dad gave me my Goya classical guitar that day. I sat down, wrote this song, and I just knew that that was the only thing I could ever really do - write songs and sing them to people.

It was stumbling on to really the bible of the blues, you know, and a very powerful drug to be introduced to us and I absorbed it totally, and it changed my complete outlook on music.

It's a really unfair world because life is, where I am all day long we listen to American music. So I don't see why the radios in the U.S. cannot even put aside one hour a day just to play music that is not American.

It's almost charity work, what people have done, turning other people on to my music.

It's amazing to hear, as a voice matures and then starts to decline, what kind of emotion is still conveyed by a really good vocalist.

It's been a transformative period and I really wanted to make music from what I've experienced.

It's funny how the music industry is enraged about the Internet and the way things are copied without being paid for. But you know why people steal the music? Because they can't afford the music.

It's nice, I think, when people use your music for things you didn't think of.

It's really cool to see glowsticks at the show, to see dance music culture infiltrating and becoming one with the metal community.

It's really hard for me to sometimes put myself out there, like 'Hey, how do you feel about making music together?' because maybe I'm afraid of rejection or I don't want to put anybody out. It's the Southerner in me, like, 'I don't mean to bother you but do you mind making a song?'

It's true, there's a lot of melancholy in my music. I don't know why, I'm not a melancholy person. I've always been drawn to it. Ever since I was a kid, if I had an album I would play the ballads on repeat.

Jazz vision is the fusion of music and art a real paradox of same-yet different. Here we play in exchanges, like the hardness of the key of c# major and from the softness of Db major - capturing, reflecting and improvising.

Leaders must encourage their organizations to dance to forms of music yet to be heard.

Learning music by reading about it is like making love by mail.

Life is like music it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct, not by rule.

Life is like music, it must be composed by ear, feeling and instinct, not by rule. Nevertheless one had better know the rules, for they sometimes guide in doubtful cases, though not often.

Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music.

Linguistic philosophers continue to argue that probably music is not a language, that is in the philosophical debate. Another point of view is to say that music is a very profound language.

Listen to your inner-voice: Surround yourself with loving, nurturing people. Fall in love with your art and find yourself. Music is the great communicator.

Live music is better.

Long intros are cool because there's a little bit of anticipation, you know?

Look, when I started out, mainstream culture was Sinatra, Perry Como, Andy Williams, Sound of Music. There was no fitting into it then and of course, there's no fitting into it now.

Love cannot express the idea of music, while music may give an idea of love.

Love is a friendship set to music.

Lyrics are always misleading because they make people think that that's what the music is about.

Lyrics are the only thing to do with music that haven't been made easier technically.

Making an album should be an honest experience. It shouldn't be about trying to gauge where popular music is today it should be about artistic expression and putting down what you want to put down.

Marilyn Monroe never sold a platinum album. And more people know my music than what I look like.

Maybe I'm genetically more inclined to music - but the music I make is so far removed from Indian classical music. I grew up in Texas!

Maybe someday you can accuse somebody of being a poseur by selling out and playing blues music, but that's just not going to happen in my lifetime.

Metal is still the biggest music now in America.

Mike Patton is a genius... It is definitely the hardest music I've ever played.

Military justice is to justice what military music is to music.

More than art, more than literature, music is universally accessible.

Most game music is based on loops effectively.

Most of my arguments with musicians through the years have had more to do with their attitude about music, or their attitude about their own lives, or their personal responsibility. Music has never really been the big centerpiece of the fight.

Most people are satisfied with the junk food being sold as music.
