3 December 2020 Ludwig van Beethoven Music is the wine which inspires one to new generative processes, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for mankind and makes them spiritually drunken.
3 December 2020 Felix Mendelssohn These seem to me so ambiguous, so vague, so easily misunderstood in comparison to genuine music, which fills the soul with a thousand things better than words.
3 December 2020 Philip Seymour Hoffman I like so many different kinds of music just because all I did was listen to the radio as a kid.
3 December 2020 David Byrne I’ve noticed a lot of younger artists have less fear of doing different sorts of things, whether it’s various types of music, or gallery artists moving between video and sculpture and drawing.
3 December 2020 Justin Bieber I think older people can appreciate my music because I really show my heart when I sing, and it’s not corny. I think I can grow as an artist, and my fans will grow with me.
3 December 2020 Bono The great moments of rock ‘n’ roll were never off in some corner of the music world, in a self-constructed ghetto.
3 December 2020 Eric Clapton But I did go to music really early on, even when I was 4 or 5, I was responding to music probably in ways other kids were not.
3 December 2020 Taylor Swift The business aspect is one of the most important things about having a music career, because every choice you make in a management meeting affects your life a year-and-a-half from now.
3 December 2020 Paula Cole For me music is a vehicle to bring our pain to the surface, getting it back to that humble and tender spot where, with luck, it can lose its anger and become compassion again.
3 December 2020 Eddie Van Halen We’re musicians. We make music for a living. It’s that simple. Nothing else matters.
3 December 2020 Willie Nelson I think Ray Charles did as much as anybody when he did his country music album. Ray Charles broke down borders and showed the similarities between country music and R&B.
3 December 2020 Kesha I think people need to have fun with whatever they’re doing – makeup, their clothes, music, live shows – anything you don’t need to take too seriously, don’t take too seriously.
3 December 2020 Jerry Garcia I’m not trying to clock scores in this lifetime, it’s just that things are better now than they were like five, ten years ago. Music has gotten a lot better. There’s a lot of people who are committed to – soulfully.
3 December 2020 Bruce Springsteen Some of the greatest blues music is some of the darkest music you’ve ever heard.
3 December 2020 Billie Joe Armstrong There are a lot of bands who claim to be punk and they only play the music, they have no clue what it’s all about. It’s a lifestyle. It’s not about popularity and all that crap.
3 December 2020 Layne Staley Music is the career I’m lucky enough to get paid for, but I have other desires and passions.
