I enjoy dirt bike riding, reading classic literature, impressionist art, traveling, and music.
Leeann TweedenI think I was first awakened to musical exploration by Dizzy Gillespie and Bird. It was through their work that I began to learn about musical structures and the more theoretical aspects of music.
John ColtraneMTV is the lava lamp of the 1980's... the musical channel phenomenon has been exported successfully all over the world.
Doug FerrariIn Hungary all native music, in its origin, is divided naturally into melody destined for song or melody for the dance.
Franz Liszt'I don't know anything about music. In my line of work you don't have to.'
Elvis PresleyMy 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.
David CrosbyAvant-garde music is sort of research music. You're glad someone's done it but you don't necessarily want to listen to it!
Brian EnoMost people wouldn't know music if it came up and bit them on the ass.
Frank ZappaJohn [Peel] was simply one of my favourite men in the whole world - as a music fan and presenter he was simply an inspiration.
Jo WhileyRight. For me, music is an image. Lyrics aren't important. If music itself conveys messages, lyrics are unnecessary, though I don't try to get rid of lyrics... If right words don't occur to me, there's no need to put lyrics.
Faye WongAlways, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only
Andre MalrauxIt has a lot of sentimental value and I would love to keep it after the run is over [on her nun's habit she wears in the sound of music]
Connie FisherWhen music fails to agree to the ear, to soothe the ear and the heart and the senses, then it has missed its point.
Maria CallasRock and Roll is not just a series of sounds of music refrains. Rock and Roll, like Love and Beauty, is an entity. It's around us everywhere. It feels good.
John A MarshallRobbie does nothing for me, either his music or him as a guy!
Natalie ImbrugliaA man with a music-hall imagination [on Johnston]
John ArlottI want to give the world escapism through the wonder of great music and to reach the masses.
Michael JacksonCountry fans need to support country music by buying albums and concert tickets for traditional artists or the music will just fade away. And that would be really sad. [unless you don't like country music in which case it's a solid strategy]
George JonesIt's about giving the people what they want. So many people have told me that they've made love to my records so what I've delivered this time is an album about sex. Pretty much every song has that theme. Straight no chasers, it's booty music!
TyreseHis immense power is lightened by a rhythm which has in it as little obvious propulsion as a movement of music by Mozart.
Neville CardusApplause that comes thundering with such force you might think the audience merely suffers the music as an excuse for its ovations.
Alfred JarryGreat art is as irrational as great music. It is mad with its own loveliness.
George Jean NathanThe biggest misconception about us is that we're just a rock band. But our music is actually a cross section of several different genres.
Brad DelsonModern music is as dangerous as cocaine.
Pietro MascagniThe temple of art is built of words. Painting and sculpture and music are but the blazon of its windows, borrowing all their significance from the light, and suggestive only of the temple's uses
Josiah Gilbert HollandBy reading the scriptures I am so renewed that all nature seems renewed around me and with me. The sky seems to be a pure, a cooler blue, the trees a deeper green. The whole world is charged with the glory of God and I feel fire and music under my feet.
Thomas MertonThere are people hell-bent on the idea that we're a Christian band in disguise, and that we have some secret message. We have no spiritual affiliation with this music. It's simply about life experience.
Amy Lee'I'm a musician first, a food-lover second, a dirty mouth with feet, and a girl last time I checked.'
Tori AmosI think I infuse the music with a new passion. Part of this is because I have fallen in love: I am in love with the New York Philharmonic.
Lorin MaazelI'm a musician so you have to bear with me from time to time when I get into one of my more creative moods!
Chad HugoWhen you think of Napster, you think of music. But the first thing that struck me was that this was an important case not only for the music industry but for the whole Internet.
David BoiesI can't re-define music every week!
Arthur BakerAlthough I am flexible and ready to take advice, I can't carry an umbrella of thoughts over my head that would distract me and affect my music making.
Zubin MehtaI love opera, I love writing for the voice, I love telling stories with music.
Anthony DavisI cannot say what I think is right about music. I only know the rightness of it.
Keith JarrettFrom politics and business to music and food to culture, African-Americans have helped to shape our state's colourful past and its future.
Mary LandrieuMusic is at once the product of feeling and knowledge.
Alban BergYou can make sounds and music out of pretty much anything with a little imagination and putting your mind to it!
Stan FrebergAll the sounds of the earth are like music.
Oscar HammersteinI am an inventor of music.
Igor StravinskyThere is nothing stable in the world; uproar's your only music.
John KeatsFilm music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebody's piano playing in my living room has on the book I am reading.
Igor StravinskyTo me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the inner music that words make.
Truman CapoteWhen you have listened to enough music for long enough it is hard to find something that really is a brand new type of sound no matter what people say or hype about their materials.
Jerry HuntNo, my music career is not over! I am just exploring my options [on trying her hand at TV presenting]
Kelly OsbourneEinstein because he was so intelligent so he'd be fascinating, and Bob Dylan and Jim Morrison because they're music legends [ideal dinner party guests]
Sandi ThomI'm really honoured that people have embraced me but I really just want to keep making music that I love and want to share it with people.
Delta GoodremAll music is folk music, I ain't never heard no horse sing a song
Louis ArmstrongMusic is part of us, and either ennobles or degrades our behaviour.
BoethiusAnd I try and accept all kind of music, and I love ballads, funk, soul, jazz, even calypso music I enjoy sometimes.
