Instead, of worrying if something will be a hit, bands need to go out and make good music, get a following, play live. That's how you make a career these days.
All I want to know is that I can keep this house for the rest of my days and I want to make good music... and have the odd sports car in the garage, obviously!
I think it should be ambitious and good music does deal with life and art and all these wonderful things.
I'm usually listening to Sirius Satellite in the morning. 'The Heat' usually plays good music.
What I like to do is just make good music, good movies, hopefully perform a good show full of energy and just have some fun.
Any good music must be an innovation.
Like Jermaine was saying, it's a beautiful day, and we're just glad all of this is behind us. We can go on with our lives. And Michael can go on with his life and do what he does best, and that's making good music, making his fans happy, people happy all over the world.
All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.
You know, I'm the 1st black solo MC from Detroit. I didn't do the 50 Cent sales but hey... I got a long career, I'm still young and I'm trying to bring really good music.
I like listening to good music - and I can't stop playing my album.
I want to do a musical movie. Like Evita, but with good music.
To me the bottom line is: good music is good music.
Yet, it ought to be obvious that good music generally occupies a higher plane that mere politics. Great writers can express moods through melody and capture experiences we share most powerfully - love, lust, longing; joy, rage, fear; triumph, yearning and confusion.
You look at Michael McDonald and people like that; I think they just tried to write music that was true to themselves. That's our bottom line. Whatever people view us as, I think as long as we try to create good music that will win out in the end.
I feel like everything I do in the hip-hop world has an influence. People don't really notice what I did until somebody else does it. As far as hip-hop goes, I want to continue to make good music, and good art. I don't really follow the state of hip-hop.
Drums just always sounded like the most fun part of that good music for me.

As long as it's good music. I love all music. It's got to be constructed properly.
It is not the money but the self-respect and wanting to create good music.
I've always loved dancing. As soon as there is good music, I've got to get up and dance. I was passionate about ballet as a little girl.
One always has to remember these days where the garbage pail is, because it's so easy to make sounds, and to put sounds together into something that appears to be music, but it's just as hard as it always was to make good music.
I feel like good music comes and goes in waves.
I've always believed in good music over bad music. I believe in two sorts of musics. And the lines that separate us, I don't believe in that. That's for people who need to easily define what they're hearing. Me, I'm cool with everything and anything I'm hearing that's music. It comes under one definition for me.
Why can't we have a concert with food? Your typical cooking demonstration, there's just no enthusiasm. There's no energy behind it. I said, 'What if we take a cooking demonstration and fortify it with a lot of good music? ... Drive it to the next level?'
I hope that I can make good music out of whatever genre I go into. Just to prove to myself that I can.
I always feel like there's something magic in recording studios. There's a reason good music continues to be made in them. It's just some mojo element.
I'm just trying to make music everybody can get happy to and vibe to and turn up to. So long as I keep making good music, everything's going to be OK.
All I can do is make good music and make it for the fans, not for anybody else.
What worries me are these so-called radio stations with program directors who don't play all the different flavors of hip-hop. They should play the old with the new, 24/7, 365 days a year. A lot of these program directors are just jiving around and not playing all the good music for the people.
I'm not going to go to a producer that's going to take me in a studio and charge me my whole budget and give me a fake head nod. I'm just trying to make good music. I appreciate everybody that's supporting me.
I just want to make good music. That's it. That's what I care about.
Good music is very close to primitive language.
Always focus on the music first. That's the big thing. Staying true to making good music and not sacrificing that for anything.
There's only one type of music and that's good music, no matter what genre it is.
