Quotes:

I'm so lucky. The best thing is that when I wake up I really want to come into work. I can play music I love and talk to Londoners. And I love to talk!
View quotes by Margherita Taylor

The laws of morals and the laws of music are the same.
View quotes by Zoltan Kodaly

There is hardly any money interest in art, and music will be there when money is gone.
View quotes by Duke Ellington

I wouldn't like to have to choose between Brian Wilson and Phil Spector. Especially the earily Brian Wilson stuff. [On which was the best music]
View quotes by Dave Edmunds

Music is a funny thing, and the line between being a great player and a truly great player often comes down to determination more than technique.
View quotes by Leila Josefowicz

The classics are only primitive literature. They belong to the same class as primitive machinery and primitive music and primitive medicine.
View quotes by Stephen Butler Leacock

My father being in the movie business, I thought being an actor would be great. But when I started singing to people in coffee houses - folk music - then, later, singing songs that I started to write myself, I felt more than an affinity for it.
View quotes by David Crosby

The music throbbed in a voice of singular and delicate power; the air was resonant with melody, love and pain. The meanest Italian in the gallery far up beneath the ceiling, the most exalted of the land in the boxes and the stalls, leaned indulgently forward, to be swept by this sweet storm of song.
View quotes by Gilbert Parker

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.
View quotes by Mick Jagger

I didn't plan on rock-and-roll. I wanted to learn jazz; I got to know some people doing rock-n-roll with jazz, and I thought I could make some money playing music.
View quotes by Robby Krieger

Character is the product of daily, hourly actions, and words and thoughts; daily forgivenesses, unselfishness, kindnesses, sympathies, charities, sacrifices for the good of others, struggles against temptation, submissiveness under trial. Oh, it is these, like the blending colors in a picture or the blending notes of music which constitute the man.
View quotes by John MacDuff

A painter paints his pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. We provide the music, and you provide the silence.
View quotes by Leopold Stokowski

Hey, I'm not Hollywood. I don’t live in Hollywood... I live in the UK...and I’m not an actress...yeah ok I’ve met some Hollywood actors but I’m into music, I’m not part of the 'acting scene'... I was in a movie 2 years ago and I was the worst actress ever...so I’m not Hollywood at all.

Music is God's gift to man, the only art of Heaven given to earth, the only art of earth we take to Heaven.
View quotes by Walter Landor

It's so important that in my music I convey positive messages, and this song is definitely a universal message that everybody can relate to - anyone that's been discriminated against or unaccepted, unappreciated or disrespected just because of who you are,' Aguilera said in her acceptance speech. 'It was so important to me that I support the gay community in this sense. It's so sad that still in 2003 we even have to give awards like this. And that's why I'm here to show my love and support to all of you. [GLAAD Acceptance Speech 2003]

On his own history with mathematics, and connection with John Nash: 'I had a bit of a hiccup in the third year of high school. The school I was at hired a non-English speaking Hungarian who was a professional of some great standing in Eastern Europe. But he hadn't learned the English language yet. He probably is a great asset to the teaching staff now, but we were his first class. That was when mathematics and I parted ways.

'There's a lot of mathematics in music. It's all in groups of eight, mate, y'know. The one thing that I may have in common with John is that the subject matter I do know, the driving part of my life, my work life, there's a point where structure and scaffolding is left behind and intuition takes over. That's the difference between John and the next 100 mathematicians. He's fully prepared to leave the scaffolding behind and get into the ether of the equation and find the answer quicker. The bane of his existence, however, is finding the proof.'
