Music Quotes
I always liked doing all sorts of different things. As a kid growing up, I was always drawing and painting - always doing art. But I also loved movies and music, so as I started doing everything, I liked every aspect. It's not really that I am a control freak; it's just that is what I love.
Rob Zombie
I would look at older blues musicians who just keep going into their seventies. They keep doing it until they drop dead. And I've always felt like that's what I want to do. I've felt that since the day I was able to start playing music for a living. I don't see the point of thinking about retiring because it's not work to begin with.
Chris Cornell
Soundgarden
We're appreciated by fans because of the level of our craft. The songs speak to them in a personal way. And they do it in an artful (way) and honest way. That's why. But, I think that's true of anything that stands the test of time as our music has. And it also proves that the critics are wrong. In a great sense, it proves how short sighted and how prejudice critics generally are, or their taste rather than for what the quality of the music really is.
Doug Fieger
The Knack
I doubt anybody would have pushed me on the music. When I was at Sony nobody ever gave me any creative suggestions on the music.
Bela Fleck
Béla Fleck and the Flecktones
Classical - perhaps I should say 'orchestral' - music is so digital, so cut up, rhythmically, pitchwise and in terms of the roles of the musicians. It's all in little boxes. The reason you get child prodigies in chess, arithmetic, and classical composition is that they are all worlds of discontinuous, parceled-up possibilities.
Brian Eno
Roxy Music
It seems like Weezer has gotten better and better at getting attention for everything besides our music. Part of that is just the nature of our culture now - you really have to scream to get some attention, so people even know you have a record out that they might want to listen to.
Rivers Cuomo
Weezer
I can't usually sleep if I'm listening to music. It seems to fire up my mind, and I keep engaging with it to see what it's doing.
Max Richter
To the U.S. and the world, I'm just known as some funny song and some funny music, some funny video guy. But in Korea I'm doing one of the biggest concerts; it's not a dance music concert. I'm playing with the band, so I change my every song to a rock song.
Psy
Music deals with time and timing. It's so magical, but when you get into it, every little sound and every little space between the sounds, it's critical, so critical. And if it's not there, it not only feels wrong, but it ruins things.
David Lynch
The Platters
I have pretty ecumenical tastes. I'm interested in a lot of different kinds of music, so I don't listen with a jaundiced ear to music because it's in a certain category, whether it's country or opera or hip-hop or bebop or whatever it is.
David Sanborn
I grew up walking out with no music. I wish I had the bottle to dance on but I can't dance.
John Higgins
This music business can suck all the love out of you, all the compassion for people - you can start to think you're better than them. But I want to continue to let people know that I'm no better and no worse, I'm just like you.
Mary J. Blige
