Sound Quotes

I'll also listen to music on a Discman and realize how nice it can sound when it's not compressed to MP3 format.
Alexis Taylor -
I am really into how words sound out loud, so I was always the kid who would, like, read the page of the book to herself in her room over and over and over. And Raymond Carver is great for that. Tobias Wolff is an author who is really good for that as well.
Lorde -
I listened to a mind joint, and I wanted to do my own version of it, and what you hear on my mixtape is my take on what the whole CD sounds like.
Talib Kweli Black Star -
No music while making love... the sound of the love being made is better than music.
Jhene Aiko -
I sometimes have to write for a while before I figure it out, pretend that I know what I'm doing, sort of like ad-libbing on stage until you remember your line - you hope you sound convincing to the audience. The key is to have enough material, enough threads, so that there's something that can be satisfyingly drawn to a conclusion.
Said Sayrafiezadeh -

don't mean to sound weird but I get so immersed in the source material when I'm working on a movie that I kind of lose the line between what I thought of and what was in the book.
Zack Snyder -
The computer, the noise of the computer feels like impatience. It's sort of the sound of impatience to me.
Tony Kushner -
The main idea of the album was to translate different styles with just one sound. It was really hard to do that. It’s exactly the same when you see a guy – he’s one guy but he can have several different emotions. That’s the best way to explain it.
Mike Levy -
Musicians today have gotten used to Protools, which I hate. You can go into the studio and not even be a musician, just start beating on stuff and they can take parts out of it, move it around and then you can sound like Slash. If you want some kind of weird feedback effect in the middle of a guitar solo, now they can just fly it in. You don't have to sit there and work at it like you did back in the day.
Mick Mars Mötley Crüe -
I was taken in by the bravado and the sounds of Mexico... not so much the music, but the spirit.
Herb Alpert -
Not to be weird, but I still have an ongoing relationship with my mom, even though she passed away, and I've been surprised at how much I've been able to convey to her. Now I sound like a total weirdo, but that's true.

Your sound is in your hands as much as anything. It's the way you pick, and the way you hold the guitar, more than it is the amp or the guitar you use.

Alexis Taylor -
We’re a rock band and we don’t claim to be anything else but we do like to try new things. Having electronics in the sound is more to do with texture and depth, were constantly doing harmony guitar and overdubs so we’d though we should try it to that with electronics and have a more distinct type of sound.
Jerry Horton Papa Roach -
I really connect with music that has a point, that's not just a heavy riff and cool sounds. I always like it to have a purpose.
Matthew "Matt" Montgomery Amen -
Hey, sexy. Why haven’t you called?” The cooing sound came from behind me, and I glanced back over my shoulder to see a familiar-looking brunette. “Because I’m the asshole who never calls,” I replied with a wink.

There's something strange about a laptop, how you can make the tiniest gesture and make the biggest sound. I don't feel I've resolved working a sense of performance into a piece yet.
