Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Making music is pretty much the only thing I can do.
Music. It's all creativity right here, right now.
Pop music should be about young people.
I like listening to good music - and I can't stop playing my album.
Music and language are a vital element. We, as actors and directors, offer it to people who want to experience it. Sometimes the actual meaning is less important than the words themselves.
I was very pleased to find that once I had records out music videos were starting to happen, so I directed some of my own music videos and got to experiment in other areas of expression.
That can definitely mess with your music - if you overthink. 'What's radio going to think?' or 'What are these people going to think?'
I struggled for many, many years following 'Music and Lyrics' - I mean really struggled.
A whole generation of young whites have involved themselves with traditional Negro music.
I got my first break in 'Bhootnath,' solely on my credit, and went on to sing for around 20 films for all the leading music composers.
Plus I love Tanya Tucker and I love country music.
I want to do a musical movie. Like Evita, but with good music.
I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to.
I come from a background of experimental music which mingled real sounds together with musical sounds.
Fortunately, the music from the first record really connected with people, and I was really proud of that.
The mountain music... is compelling music in its own right, harking back to a time when music was a part of everyday life and not something performed by celebrities.
The character of instrumental music... lets the emotions radiate and shine in their own character without presuming to display them as real or imaginary representations.
I always wanted to be more of a person that people enjoy. Somebody that will make you laugh. I'm talking about just my personality, not necessarily how my music sounds.
My music isn't mainstream music.
Music is my release.
I can't listen to anything when I write, not even the TV. I do have to listen to music when I drive, though.
Music is a very big participant in everything I do, from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed.
Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.
I think no matter how you think about your music, you're ultimately in the music 'business.' I think you have to be business-minded in some sense. And for me, the real goal... is positive intention and social change through music. It doesn't mean that can't turn a profit.
I love singing. It's who I am. When I act, I take a small part of myself and just magnify it, but when I'm singing, that's who I am. I don't write music, so I choose songs that I would have written.
We don't really talk about music that much, to be honest with you. It's not some I usually - I can't really talk about other people's tracks never mind my own.
In my opinion, it seems like music is taking a bit of a turn. Look at Mumford and Sons, and the Lumineers. It seems like people and music fans are enjoying the more artistic side of music, and that popular music is taking a turn and accepting that, so I appreciate that.
I love a lot of music that's considered folk music, but I also love a lot of music that's considered punk or considered rap. I don't mind being called a folk singer. But it seems a bit limiting. I want to be able to write whatever kind of song I want.
I taught myself to read music at a very young age, so when I started to take lessons in school, the teachers used to give me other instruments to keep me busy, because I was more advanced than the other kids.
I was never really a nerd. I'm not really into comic books or Dungeons and Dragons or any of that kind of stuff. I was in drama class, and I'm a big movie and music buff. And I'm into sports.
So okay, I accepted, and I realized while working for that concert that I'd been missing something very important and vital to me, and that something was music.
Sport is an international phenomenon, like science or music.
I like to be with my friends and my family, listen to music and read books. Things like that relax me.
Success and the art of making music are two different things for me.
I'm kind of insane when it comes to music, a little obsessed.
