3 December 2020 Joni Mitchell I have one piece of music, since 1997, and I don’t see it having lyrics. Where does it go in this world? So I haven’t recorded it.
3 December 2020 Levon Helm Drums just always sounded like the most fun part of that good music for me.
3 December 2020 Alanis Morissette Anything I do has to be directly related to my music. If it isn’t, I don’t really see a point to it.
3 December 2020 Danica McKellar My husband is a composer, so he plays piano all the time and I sit there and clap telling my unborn child, ‘Hear me clap, hear the music.’ I know music, in general, is supposed to be good for babies to hear.
3 December 2020 David Byrne Ninety percent of all music is always crap, and when too many people decide they’re going to have guitar bands, then ninety percent of them are going to be crap. It’s just a given law.
3 December 2020 Mick Jagger I came into music just because I wanted the bread. It’s true. I looked around and this seemed like the only way I was going to get the kind of bread I wanted.
3 December 2020 David Byrne It seems almost backwards to me that my music seems the more emotional outlet, and the art stuff seems more about ideas.
3 December 2020 Norah Jones I genuinely don’t feel that anything that’s been written or said about me has overshadowed my music, and that’s the most important thing as far as I’m concerned.
3 December 2020 Martin Luther My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.
3 December 2020 Taylor Swift Music is my shining light, my favorite thing in the world. T get me to stop doing it for one second would be difficult!
3 December 2020 Henri Frederic Amiel Music is harmony, harmony is perfection, perfection is our dream, and our dream is heaven.
3 December 2020 Clarence Clemons The calm mind allows one to connect with the inner self, the Soul, the very source of our being. That’s where the music lives. That’s where my music comes from.
3 December 2020 Sting I write the music, produce it and the band plays within the parameters that I set.
3 December 2020 Billy Corgan In a weird kind of way, music has afforded me an idealism and perfectionism that I could never attain as me.
3 December 2020 Leonard Bernstein This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before.
3 December 2020 Miranda Lambert Long intros are cool because there’s a little bit of anticipation, you know?
3 December 2020 Isaac Stern Everywhere in the world, music enhances a hall, with one exception: Carnegie Hall enhances the music.
3 December 2020 Maynard James Keenan Music is about listening, the more you play, the more the magic spreads.
3 December 2020 Steve Hackett I think that a song, when it works, never mind a piece of long form music, even a song is something that speaks to itself but has a language all of its own, ideally.
3 December 2020 Lady Gaga Unless I am both capable of and willing to reopen the wound every time I write a song, if I choose to not look inside myself to write music, I’m really not worth being called an artist at all.
3 December 2020 Henry Rollins The scarcity of the music not only makes the music itself enjoyable but it also gives the collector a strange sense of superiority.
3 December 2020 Conrad Hall Cinematography is infinite in its possibilities… much more so than music or language.
3 December 2020 Eddie Izzard Boy bands should be exploded from a great height. They’re just pretty people singing music written by others.
