3 December 2020 Joan Jett So it was out of necessity that Blackheart was born. I think it’s great that now, 25 years later, we’re not only putting out our own music, but are able to put out music by other bands. That’s really exciting for us.
3 December 2020 Ludwig van Beethoven Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.

3 December 2020 Kesha I love country music, blues, and punk, and one day I might make those kinds of records.
3 December 2020 Serj Tankian People think our music’s very aggressive or angry or whatever, and it’s just the opposite, really… I like laughing. And I like being really calm before a show, and smiley.

3 December 2020 Ray Charles I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me-like food or water.
3 December 2020 David Byrne I’m not suggesting people abandon musical instruments and start playing their cars and apartments, but I do think the reign of music as a commodity made only by professionals might be winding down.
3 December 2020 Leonard Cohen We used to play music for fun. Much more than now. Now nobody picks up a guitar unless they’re paid for it.

3 December 2020 Bono I think ABBA have a pure joy to their music and that’s what makes them extraordinary.
3 December 2020 Oliver Wendell Holmes A few can touch the magic string, and noisy fame is proud to win them: Alas for those that never sing, but die with all their music in them!
