I hate negativity in general. We, as artists, we pour so much into our music and put out something we believe in... it sucks that people tear you down.
In a studio situation, I'm able to dig deep and come up with stuff that all the guys think fits the vibe of the song. And I think that's partly due to the fact that I grew up listening to just about everything under the sun. I'm very open to music, and I like to do things in a traditional and musical way.
My father is my best friend. Just growing up with him inspired me to appreciate music that much more because he appreciates music.
When I started doing music full time, I figured out my job wasn't something I needed to be completely sober for.
I think the amazing thing about gospel music is that not only does it lift up the death and resurrection of our Lord, which is consistent with the Gospel, but it is uniquely communicated depending upon the generation.
I scientifically engineer my music to be as accessible as possible.
And there's some Latino music I like, and some reggae music.
The British may not know much about music, but they certainly loves the noise it makes.
Music means different things to different people and sometimes even different things to the same person at different moments of his life.
I don't pretend to be Joy Division or New Order. What I do is very straight forward: it's an interpretation and a celebration of the music, with different people. Everyone looks at it and knows exactly what I'm doing.
I grew up to the sound of live music in our Brooklyn household.
Today, music is visual.
I'm there to make a kind of theatrical music that is desperately missing in my life. And if other people don't like it, I'm very unhappy, but I can't do anything about that.
In the G.O.O.D. Music camp, we all come around, and we show ourselves and present ourselves as artists only.
I've never been in the music industry, only acting.
If music is to continue to support the livelihoods of artists, it cannot be taken without the permission of artists.
I think Charley Pride has been one of the best things to happen to country music, to prove it belongs to everybody.
I have a confession to make - I truly love country music.
What is American music? The most satisfying answer I've come across is that it was a kind of natural comfort with the vernacular which is diverse and regional; it's not one particular set of sounds.
I always loved music and would listen to the radio and watch out for new stuff. When I was about nine or ten, I would go around to me friend's house on a Sunday when the top twenty was broadcast on the radio at 6 P.M., and we would tape it on a cassette, and then we would take turns in sharing it over the next week.
Music in this film is a very important part.
I think music should be experienced by people all ages.
I like acting and being a musician. It's like comparing apples and oranges. But I really like my day job. I've always played music since I was 12, and I guess I always will.
I feel a part of the congregation. I've never had to do special music. The kids sing in the choir. It's just normal. We're treated like everybody else.

In the music industry, you meet some not very nice people, some very strange characters.
To me, it's all about opening all the doors and getting people to be not only prolific, but creative and having control of their music.
I keep a guitar around while writing and will improvise music. I do this for several reasons, such as that it's fun, and sometimes it helps me with the meter.
I would be involved with music whether I had a career or not. I'm always going to be writing songs and recording them.
I'm always going to do that - record and make music.
Yes, but I view Frank's music as fully composed. In other words, the arrangements can work for any idiom such as a rock band or an orchestra. Frank was a brilliant arranger and could make his music work in any context. He proved that tour after tour and album after album.
Music is a big part of the director's life; Ms. Coppola's previous feature, a screen adaptation of 'The Virgin Suicides,' was informed more substantially by the score by the group Air than by the narrative.
I have a younger brother and sister who actually play in my band, and we were always into Disney music, big time. The first time I heard myself sing was when I recorded myself singing a Disney song. I remember it because it was awful, and I didn't expect to hear that. I think it was 'A Whole New World' from 'Aladdin.'
Whatever I'm doing, whatever comes along, this music is something that I've always wanted to do.
I think you can have the greatest lyrics in the world and if it doesn't have the best tune in the world it will suck. I mean if the music wasn't important it would just be a poem.
Racism is taught in the home. We agree on that? Well, it's very hard to teach racism to a teenager who's listening to rap music and who idolizes, say, Snoop Dogg. It's hard to say, 'That guy is less than you.' The kid is like, 'I like that guy, he's cool. How is he less than me?
