3 December 2020 Marcel Marceau Music and silence combine strongly because music is done with silence, and silence is full of music.
3 December 2020 Aimee Mann There’s a lot of music that sounds like it’s literally computer-generated, totally divorced from a guy sitting down at an instrument.
3 December 2020 Bob Dylan This land is your land and this land is my land, sure, but the world is run by those that never listen to music anyway.
3 December 2020 Billy Corgan I’m prepared to spend the rest of my life playing clubs, if that means I’m playing music that I believe in.
3 December 2020 Chuck Mangione Most recently we’ve been working in concert situations rather than clubs. because there aren’t too many rooms there like Ronnie Scott’s, that are pure music rooms, where people come specifically to listen to music.
3 December 2020 Charley Pride What we don’t need in country music is divisiveness, public criticism of each other, and some arbitrary judgement of what belongs and what doesn’t.
3 December 2020 Alvin Ailey Choreography is mentally draining, but there’s a pleasure in getting into the studio with the dancers and the music.
3 December 2020 Henry Ward Beecher Of all the music that reached farthest into heaven, it is the beating of a loving heart.
3 December 2020 Brian Eno Editing is now the easiest thing on earth to do, and all the things that evolved out of word processing – ‘Oh, let’s put that sentence there, let’s get rid of this’ – have become commonplace in films and music too.
3 December 2020 Pete Townshend When I grew up, what was interesting for me was that music was color and life was gray. So music for me has always been more than entertainment.
3 December 2020 John Mayer It’s almost charity work, what people have done, turning other people on to my music.
3 December 2020 Steven Patrick Morrissey I think there are unseen powers who don’t want pop music to be anything other than glorified Madonnas.
3 December 2020 Norah Jones I didn’t think it was fair to my music to label me as the daughter of somebody – I didn’t think it described me very well and I didn’t think it had anything to do with my music.
3 December 2020 George Strait Country music is important to me, and I love it, but it’s not my whole life.

3 December 2020 Ludwig van Beethoven Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
3 December 2020 Ellie Goulding Mumford & Sons’ music appeals to a lot of America. I’m really proud of them.
3 December 2020 Julie Andrews Because of the Thames I have always loved inland waterways – water in general, water sounds – there’s music in water. Brooks babbling, fountains splashing. Weirs, waterfalls tumbling, gushing.
3 December 2020 Rod Stewart I have a very lively and colourful show. It’s two hours of hits and the music speaks for itself.
