I have always been drawn to child-related causes. I find that people listen to me more when I advocate for children now that I have my own.
I love people, and I love to be with people and to make music with people, but my natural state is to revert back to being by myself in my house, which is cool because that's where I practice and write and listen and study.
I listen to my mother, and that keeps me out of trouble. I'm a good son.
If an organization values innovation, you can assume it's safe to speak up with new ideas, leaders will listen, and your voice matters.
I don't listen to what art critics say. I don't know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is.
What advice do I tell my grandson? I listen to him.
It's sad that people listen to music and decide how the singer should look.
A weird thing about Gossip that I've always said: 'If I weren't in this band, I would never listen to it.' But I would go see it. It's a band you would go see that you don't necessarily listen to. We've always wanted to do a live album because personally, I think we're a way better band live than on record.
I can now video chat with my grandkids from any corner of the world, listen to music, or order food and have it delivered to my front door.
I don't listen to music made by white people. I especially hate anything where a guitar is used. I don't listen to white people and guitars.
My favorite type of music to sing and to listen to, you know, rock. It's not always metal, but you know, half the time it is. Metal's cool, you know? Not everybody on 'American Idol' listens to metal.
I don't have time to stand around and listen to an 11-minute song.
I've been telling anybody who would listen that I wanted to do a series for the last 10 years. But I wouldn't do it if I was just another cop pushing bad guys up against the wall.
It was not enough to come and listen to a great sermon or message every Sunday morning and be confined to those four walls and those four corners. You had to get out and do something.
I would say three-quarters of what I do depends on the sincerity of it. You can croak, but if you croak good, they'll still listen.
Listen, I would love to win an Emmy at some stage or another. I can't pretend not to.
I listen to a lot of Phil Collins.
I listen to Bill Stewart play the drums and when I have finished doing that, I listen to Bill Stewart.
The biggest thing that I hope people take away when they listen to my music is that they feel that there is an outlet being presented that allows them to be more authentic and for them to be more honest in their own lives.
I'm a total hip-hop geek. That's my favorite kind of music to listen to while getting ready.
I listen to a lot of different stuff, from Mozart to Johnny Dowd to Monster Magnet. I don't listen to music while I'm writing a draft, but I do listen to it when I'm revising.
It is one thing to record an album but it's a huge difference when people play it and listen to it and embrace it the way that I do. It has always been my dream to get my music out to the world and have people hear it.
Is it not important to find out how to listen not only to what is being said but to everything - to the noise in the streets, to the chatter of birds, to the noise of the tramcar, to the restless sea, to the voice of your husband, to your wife, to your friends, to the cry of a baby?
Throughout my life I have always been amazed that people couldn't listen to other people, that they couldn't hear their best intent, that there seemed to be an enormous need to demonize.
I can't usually stomach a project after I finish it, but for those days and weeks and months that it's new to me, I do listen to it, and it might change over time, but it's about function.
Like most of the other teachers, I'd done a bit of teaching and we all think we're great at what we do, but you realize that normally you have an audience who are all onside, who all want to listen.
You can't just trust to luck; you have to really listen to what that character is telling you.
It's funny, I listen to friends who talk about back when they were 14, eight, 16, whatever, as if it was yesterday. Me, I've no idea what I did. It's all a blur, I'm afraid.
My experience is listen, see, feel - and then think about what you change.
If you listen to a lot of old funk records, the drums are really small. But you don't perceive it like that because the groove is so heavy.
If you're studying from a book and trying to listen in on a conversation at the same time, those are two separate projects, each started and maintained by distinct circuits in the brain. Pay more attention to one for a moment and you're automatically paying less attention to the other.
First of all I listen to music. I like music.
People who tend to listen to my music have come back and said, 'Yo, this is my anthem. This is what I live by.'
When you are accompanying someone, you are listening to them the way you listen to a Bach Chorale, where four parts are going on at the same time, all of which are gorgeous melodies, all being played simultaneously.
No, it's not a very good story - its author was too busy listening to other voices to listen as closely as he should have to the one coming from inside.
When I listen to my own records, I always think, 'Oh, I could have sung that so much better.' But you have to finish something and turn it in. If I didn't have folks who say, 'Come on, we need the record now,' I probably would never finish one.
