Zitat des Tages von Burt Bacharach:
I started playing piano with a little band in high school. I was terrible. I thought I had absolutely no talent. I couldn't keep time. I only got into McGill, which was a lousy music school, because they were taking American music students.
I was blown away by the standing ovation. I've had tributes before, sure, but I don't retain that feeling, and I wasn't prepared for it on Tuesday. But maybe you shouldn't retain these things or you'd be on a permanent high.
Because I was small, I was getting the hell kicked out of me playing football.
Never be ashamed to write a melody that people remember.
I've always had a problem with people who couldn't tell the truth or admit a mistake and say they're wrong.
The music is the last thing I'm thinking about right now, in order of what's important.
I'd met Dr Dre, he was thinking about his next album, we talked a little and he said, 'Let me give you some of these loops and see what you come up with'.
A small town is a place where there's no place to go where you shouldn't.
Knowing when to leave may be the smartest thing anyone can learn.
A synonym is a word you use when you can't spell the word you first thought of.
I felt alienated at school, and I never did well with girls.
