James McCartney
Smokey Robinson is one of my heroes as a singer and songwriter; a major influence on my own music from the very start.

Let's face it: pop music in its myriad permutations will always be sexually presumptuous, racially controversial and, frequently, politically charged.
Dan Hill
I have always hated nightclubs, and don't like loud music.
Carey Mulligan

Soundgarden
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.

Debbie Gibson
I think the biggest way of connecting with people is through your music and kind of saying what you want to say as an artist. And hopefully, you're making something that someone's going to be like, 'This is my favorite song.' That's always your goal, I think, anybody in any genre.
Chris Young
