3 December 2020 Adam Lambert I was a big fan of Middle Eastern elements of music and experimental electronic and tribal sounds.
3 December 2020 Truman Capote Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.
3 December 2020 Scott Weiland Making an album should be an honest experience. It shouldn’t be about trying to gauge where popular music is today it should be about artistic expression and putting down what you want to put down.
3 December 2020 Adam Lambert In middle school, I really didn’t have music, but in high school, I remember taking a lot of choir and drama.
3 December 2020 Shania Twain Marilyn Monroe never sold a platinum album. And more people know my music than what I look like.
3 December 2020 Brian Eno Musicians are there in front of you, and the spectators sense their tension, which is not the case when you’re listening to a record. Your attention is more relaxed. The emotional aspect is more important in live music.
3 December 2020 Norah Jones A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music.
3 December 2020 Amanda Seyfried Singing is a way of releasing an emotion that you sometimes can’t portray when you’re acting. And music moves your soul, so music is the source of the most intense emotions you can feel.
3 December 2020 Plato For the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling the whole state since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions.
3 December 2020 Joan Jett Def Leppard is obviously a different band that we are, but the music work well tighter. And the audiences seem work well together too. We are opening, but we’re having a good time.
3 December 2020 Lady Gaga I dropped out of NYU, moved out of my parent’s house, got my own place, and survived on my own. I made music and worked my way from the bottom up.

3 December 2020 Howard Dietz Composers shouldn’t think too much – it interferes with their plagiarism.
3 December 2020 Diogenes Those who have virtue always in their mouths, and neglect it in practice, are like a harp, which emits a sound pleasing to others, while itself is insensible of the music.

3 December 2020 Dolly Parton If you talk bad about country music, it’s like saying bad things about my momma. Them’s fightin’ words.

3 December 2020 Danny Boyle I love that sense of change that you’d get in pop music every three minutes, every four minutes.
3 December 2020 Louis Armstrong There is two kinds of music, the good, and the bad. I play the good kind.
3 December 2020 Norah Jones I don’t actually have a lot of discipline. I’ve worked hard at music. But I feel like you know, I felt like kind of natural at it. I always had a knack for it.
3 December 2020 Billy Corgan The ideology of the Smashing Pumpkins was ultimately more valuable than the music of the Smashing Pumpkins. That’s what critics can’t put their finger on.
