3 December 2020 Bill Monroe Bluegrass has brought more people together and made more friends than any music in the world. You meet people at festivals and renew acquaintances year after year.
3 December 2020 Lady Gaga I want my fans to love themselves. It’s almost like I want to hypnotize them so when they hear my music they love themselves instantly.
3 December 2020 Sun Ra But recently I began to feel that maybe I wouldn’t be able to do what I want to do and need to do with American musicians, who are imprisoned behind these bars music’s got these bars and measures you know.
3 December 2020 Maria Callas When music fails to agree to the ear, to soothe the ear and the heart and the senses, then it has missed the point.
3 December 2020 Travis Barker I can play punk rock, and I love playing punk rock, but I was into every other style of music before I played punk rock.
3 December 2020 Johann Sebastian Bach The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.
3 December 2020 Jeff Bridges Yeah, I’ve been interested in music since I was a teenager, always writing songs.
3 December 2020 Joni Mitchell I heard someone from the music business saying they are no longer looking for talent, they want people with a certain look and a willingness to cooperate.
3 December 2020 Norah Jones I think it’s important for people who love music to retain physical CDs or even vinyl, because it sounds so great and so much warmer than music over the internet.
3 December 2020 Adele I just want to make music, I don’t want people to talk about me. All I’ve ever wanted to do was sing. I don’t want to be a celebrity. I don’t want to be in people’s faces, you know, constantly on covers of magazine that I haven’t even known I’m on.
3 December 2020 Henry Miller Develop interest in life as you see it in people, things, literature, music – the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.
3 December 2020 Tori Amos Music is always a reflection of what’s going on in the hearts and minds of the culture.
3 December 2020 Jason Mraz Music was always the distraction, so it was the obvious choice to pursue. My dad always said to find a job I love to do, that way it wouldn’t feel like a job. So I did that.
3 December 2020 Francis Ford Coppola We were raised in an Italian-American household, although we didn’t speak Italian in the house. We were very proud of being Italian, and had Italian music, ate Italian food.
3 December 2020 Billy Joel Don’t make music for some vast, unseen audience or market or ratings share or even for something as tangible as money. Though it’s crucial to make a living, that shouldn’t be your inspiration. Do it for yourself.
3 December 2020 Peter Ustinov I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter, the sound of which has always seemed to me the most civilised music in the world.
3 December 2020 Michelle Branch I think its so cool that you can pick up the guitar and create something that didn’t exist 5 minutes ago. You can write something that no ones ever heard before. You have music at your fingertips.
3 December 2020 Bill Cosby Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.
3 December 2020 Henry Miller We live in the mind, in ideas, in fragments. We no longer drink in the wild outer music of the streets – we remember only.
