David Bryan Zitate – Sprüche auf Englisch mit Übersetzung

Zitat des Tages von David Bryan:

It's a sense of pride, a sense of you set out to get a record deal, and we got that. We set out to get a No. 1 record, and then we got that. Then you say, 'Wow, that was impossible and now even more impossible is to stay No. 1 and stay current and put out new records that people care about,' and we really stuck to that.

Every time we do a new record, we do the best we can. For us, every record is stepping into the ring with another heavyweight champion.

David Bryan

A musical is really one of the most complicated beasts. It's a play, and there's music... and there's dancing... it's unbelievably satisfying to get something up out of your brain onto a piece of paper ... and start the process and then see it on the stage.

David Bryan

I think growing up in the shadow of New York shaped me for life. Hey, you come from Jersey, you get used to being dumped on by the big city.

David Bryan

I went to Temple Emanu-El, and my rabbi, Rabbi Landsberg, was a huge influence on me. When I was 7 and went to kindergarten, there he was, a young rabbi who didn't wear a yarmulke and rode a motorcycle.

David Bryan

I think 'Slippery When Wet' was the turning point, where our records represent our energy that we do live.

David Bryan

I just write the way I feel, and if it feels good to me, hopefully everybody likes it.

David Bryan

I just wanted to release an album of piano music for music's sake. I'm not expecting to sell millions of albums. It's was just nice to be able to sit down at an acoustic piano and make some music.

David Bryan

I like to see other bands, and I like to hear their songs, but I really like it when they engage the audience.

David Bryan

The Broadway run of 'Memphis' has been like going to the moon. It was so great to actually open at the Shubert Theatre and then amazing to be nominated for eight Tonys and attend all the luncheons and events.

David Bryan

When I was growing up, there was hate. I looked around and saw that it was so wrong. I got to go round the world with my rock band, and you can bring harmony.

David Bryan

We've always been just an American rock n' roll band.

David Bryan

We keep trying to get better - constantly working at it. We love to tour. I love to play in front of people. You sit there, and everybody's smiling, and you're smiling. It's a good time.

David Bryan

It's really fun to just stretch out and not have any boundaries or just try something for the craft.

David Bryan

Whether you're black or white, you're a human - and that's what matters.

David Bryan

Most theatre people and composers are like research hounds.

David Bryan

There's trials and tribulations in a band.

David Bryan

I think, at the end of the day, we're Americans: that's what we are, and we believe in America.

David Bryan

There's no way you can imagine going from kids in high school to being the best band in the world.

David Bryan

How do we keep it up? Because that's what we do; we're musicians, and we love to play and make music. And with every album, we get better, and with every tour, we get better.

David Bryan

Before 'Memphis,' I had never considered working on a musical. But when Joe DiPietro sent me the script, I heard the entire score in my head.

David Bryan

We would say we would play every pay toilet and use our own change. Across America and across the world, we just kept going and going.

David Bryan

I'd say that 98 percent of the bands we've played with through the years have either broken up or are stuck in some kind of '80s revival now.

David Bryan

You start out with your eyes wide open, and you've got dreams, and we worked really, really hard, and ours came true. So - and we're fortunate enough to keep putting out number one records, and we're fortunate enough to get out there and keep playing, and we truly have a blast.

David Bryan

I'm going to stop when I'm 100. I put a limit on myself.

David Bryan

We love to make records, and we love to tour.

David Bryan

I've been through a lot of experiences in my life being in the biggest band in the world.

David Bryan

I guess, for me, the therapy is walking on stage, playing all of our songs, and walking out. That's probably my therapy. That's a good time.

David Bryan

We've been here since 1983 as a band.

David Bryan

The wild thing is that when I'm in the band, I can control my destiny with four other guys. As a composer sitting in the audience, you can throw good vibes at everybody, but you can't control anybody's destiny, so it's really unsettling.

David Bryan

When it comes to writing musicals, you write the best piece you can. Then, its destiny is in the hands of the actors and the director.

David Bryan

When you're on tour with the band, it's a different mentality. You don't sightsee because you're making sure you can do the show. But in musicals, I don't have to sing or play: I just have to use my brain, and the rest of the time, I'm free.

David Bryan

We have to play 'Livin' on a Prayer,' 'Bad Medicine.' We have to play them, and we want to play them, and that's what we're supposed to do. It's like going to see The Beatles and them not playing your favorite song. It's not the right thing to do.

David Bryan

There's no glamour in stupid mistakes.

David Bryan

Usually for the tour, there's about 80 songs in our brain.

David Bryan

We never do the same set twice.

David Bryan

In times of joy and sorrow, love or hate, peace and unrest, music has always been an important outlet for expressing our emotions individually and as a nation.
