- Change theme
- I think the most important thing about music is the sense of escape.
- Thom Yorke on Music
- 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.
- Steven Patrick Morrissey on Music
- 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.
- Vince Neil on Music
- I think there are unseen powers who don't want pop music to be anything other than glorified Madonnas.
- Steven Patrick Morrissey on Music
- 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 think what made it difficult for people to get, and still makes it difficult for people to get, is the theatrical nature of the work and the fact that, my music doesn't exist without the performance-art element.
- I travel the garden of music, thru inspiration. It's a large, very large garden, seen?
- Peter Tosh on 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.
- David Byrne on Music
- I try to just make music that I love, and if I believe in it that's all that matters.
- Norah Jones on Music
- I try to use my music to move these people to act.
- Jimi Hendrix on Music
- I turned to music originally because of my past and needing a release or an outlet to get out anger or frustration or hurt.
- Christina Aguilera on Music
- 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.
- Harry Connick, Jr. on Music
- I wake up in the morning, I do a little stretching exercises, pick up the horn and play.
- Herb Alpert on Music
- 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.
- Demi Lovato on Music
- I want to promote poetry to the point where you got all the baldhead kids running around doing poetry, getting the music out of the way and having only words, the spoken word, and then see what happens.
- Russell Simmons on Music
- I wanted to get rid of the element that had been considered essential in pop music: the voice.
- I wanted to prove the sustaining power of music.
- David Bowie on Music
- I wanted to take up music, so my father bought me a blunt instrument. He told me to knock myself out.
- Jay London on Music
- I was a big fan of Middle Eastern elements of music and experimental electronic and tribal sounds.
- Adam Lambert on Music
- 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.
- Alan Greenspan on Music
- I was always struck by how Picasso had no interest in music.
- David Hockney on 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.
- Ray Charles on Music
- 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.
- Billy Corgan on Music
- I was growing up listening to Queen. Freddie Mercury threw those incredible melodies into his songs.
- Gary Cherone on Music
- 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.
- Lea Michele on Music
- I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter, the sound of which has always seemed to me the most civilised music in the world.
- Peter Ustinov on Music
- I was lucky enough to be the lady that was asked to be Maria in the Sound Of Music, and that film was fortunate enough to be huge hit. The same with Mary Poppins. I got terribly lucky in that respect.
- Julie Andrews on Music
- 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.
- Freddie Mercury on Music
- I wasn't very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me, it was all about jazz.
- Norah Jones on Music
- 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.
- Tupac Shakur on Music
- 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!
- Taylor Swift on Music
- 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.
- Annie Lennox on Music
- I write music every day.
- I write music with an exclamation point!
- Richard Wagner on Music
- 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.
- Ellie Goulding on Music
- I'd like a male to listen to my music and find it kind of fascinating, what a girl goes through when they get heartbroken or get sad or get hurt by something.
- Ellie Goulding on Music
- 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.
- Danny Boyle on Music
- I'll give up this sort of touring madness certainly, but music-everything is based on music. No, I'll never stop my music.
- George Harrison on 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.
- Quentin Tarantino on Music
- 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.
- Katherine Jenkins on Music
- I'm a good music provider, and I'm fine with that. I'm a quality music manufacturer.
- John Mayer on Music
- I'm a visual thinker, really bad at algebra. There's others that are a pattern thinker. These are the music and math minds. They think in patterns instead of pictures. Then there's another type that's not a visual thinker at all, and they're the ones that memorize all of the sports statistics, all of the weather statistics.
- Temple Grandin on Music
