We do a lot of improvisation. There's definitely an element in the music that is well-suited to that scene.

Felix Riebl

It's music of the people. It's open and honest and straightforward and comes to you with open arms.

John Gill

Robbie does nothing for me, either his music or him as a guy!

Natalie Imbruglia

She truly is one of the legendary icons behind the scenes of country music. She didn't take the curtain calls, but a lot of us would never have heard Flatt & Scruggs if it hadn't been for Louise Scruggs.

Dwight Yoakam

We expect our U.S. Books, Music and DVD/Video segment to be profitable on a pro forma operating basis for the full year 2000.

Warren Jenson

They love bluegrass music over there.

Vickie Tatum

When you come in here and you are in an exercise class and you have an instructor and motivating music, you are more inclined to do the class. Whereas if you go in that room by yourself, you'll be done after 10 minutes.

Bernie Vanmiddlesworth

We had freedom, but the one thing that Chris and I agree on is that good music doesn't have to be judged in terms of length.

Billy Sherwood

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that rap music spurs violence.

John Norton

[Davison shared his suggestion with Evans when she called him to propose some charity concerts, and she couldn't be happier with the idea.] We are beholden to that part of the country, ... We have to do something to keep the music alive.

Laura Evans

We are merely cleaning out the WUSC library that is packed full, creating more space for new music and raising money for a good cause.

Ann Stevenson

The BPI didn't want to sue its customers, but it will do to stop them stealing music.

Struan Robertson

It's really one-stop shopping for the music fan.

Bradley Horowitz

If a literary man puts together two words about music, one of them will be wrong.

Aaron Copland

I like them because they play a good mix of music. 'Brown Eyed Girl' is one of the songs they cover, and it's one of my favorites.

Katherine Smith

I'm going to give them earplugs and I have them ring music and they begin to understand what it's like not to be able to hear as well as a full-hearing person can.

Marilyn Chandler

We want to create a bar of excellence (in the music program). That is what separates a university from a conservatory.

Christina Merblum

The possibilities are endless for me — Broadway, TV, music and film.

Michelle Williams

He believed listening to music was a serious endeavor.

Michael Fine

We want to empower people in the community. We don't want them to just be able to play an instrument but to be leaders in music ministry. Not just in our church but in other churches.

Steve Heimer

Losing Summer is about the songs, not about the money. We just want people to hear our music.

Adam Sullivan

I'm not too worried about any of that. Eventually the music will speak for itself. You're only going to look at me like this for so long.

Kevin Federline

I don't believe anyone's selling out. I got into this business to entertain and, of course, make a living from it, and to be able to have our music heard in whatever way.

Steve Harwell

I think the first time we ever won an East Coast Music Award was in Charlottetown, so it's been good luck.

Alan Doyle

We get all kinds of musicians. We teach, we exchange music, we jam. It's a social, fun thing to do.

Sergio Morrell

That's a blessing in disguise because they left a big void in their genre of music and that's opened a little hole for us to fit in there.

Sully Erna

A kind of lightness and grace that was in the music-making.

Michael Steinberg

They don't even have to like country music. They'll love it when they leave.

Golf Brooks

We do a meet-and-greet with the senator, and then go in and listen to music.

Ann F. Lewis

They could have done better. There's so much good music.

Duncan Coutts

It's easy to tell when [music] is forced. Let the song write itself.

Will Pugh

I hope the commercial market will pick up on this. We are all in this together. We all want to get classical music out there.

Roger Wright

I find it always sad when there's something that means a lot to me in music and there are people who can't get the exposure to it ever to understand it, let alone love it.

James Levine

Music connects with the soul. I think it's the quickest art form to the soul.

Chris Tomlin

[But, he says,] I listened to the Grieg and said, 'OK, that's great music' and never listened to it again. ... but they are not direct. I consciously decided what comes out, comes out.

Douglas Levine

It's surprising because it's a fan base we never expected to grab with our music, so it was pretty unexpected.

Johnny Christ

Our demographic studies show us that the highest interest is in country music.

Bill Ogg

There will be a Chinese lion dance, some traditional Chinese entertainment, martial arts, karaoke, Chinese music and a meal. We always invite the mayor, council officers, and the governors from the City of Sunderland College.

Ding Lan

In the beginning, I was searching for myself in my music. My music was for me. I didn't have the mental room to be conscious of the listener; I wrote to save myself.

Ayumi Hamasaki

He was one of the greatest parts of the past in country music in this country that anybody will ever see.

Carroll Baker

[The music services] have been anxious to [expand to Europe]. It's been the labels dragging their feet. The cloud cover is that there are a lot of different licensing authorities and things are fragmented over there. But when it gets to be important, the labels can get people in line.

Phil Leigh

You have the ability to talk, take pictures and listen to music in one device. The convenience factor is big.

Simon Leung

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

Jonathan Davis

What's happening is they're going from dancing to rave music, with 1000 beats per minute, to waltzing in China.

Frank Holmes

He does it on his terms, his music, and that's what makes him so much better.

Claudia Rodriguez

What they're really doing is trying to use the internet as a radio, in effect, a hundred-million-person radio as a way for them to broadcast their music and alert new fans to their music.

Michael Robertson

Mozart's music is like an X-ray of your soul - it shows what is there, and what isn't. Yet he isn't taken very seriously by the younger generation.

Isaac Stern

You have Van Gogh's ear for music.

Artemus Ward (writer)

The interest from the local community is stronger and there are more acts coming from that community that are trying to break into the music business.

Neill Dixon

Very few of them identified country as their favorite music.

Kaan Yigit

It's a musical I've never seen, but I've loved the music for some time, ... This is a great, wonderful contrast from making movies.

Jeremy Irons

It's been good to me, and I had no desire to change. It's been lower than the dirt on the ground, but it bounced back, and it's going to keep doing it because it's original. It's the only music that was born in America. Everybody else brought theirs with them.

Henry Townsend

I don't really know how to do anything else very well, but I'm just starting to learn a few things about music.

Neil Finn

It's not just music players. The storage capacity of most digital devices today far exceeds what we know people do with them.

Kaan Yigit

The century of aeroplanes deserves its own music. As there are no precedents, I must create anew.

Claude Debussy

It's about opening the music gateway and preserving my culture through music.

Carlos Washington

This is novel. I've never heard of anything like it, just for pets. I just stumbled upon it by accident, but I'm glad I did. I think it's great. I'm a dog lover and an avid music lover.

Debby Reilly

The program will be a day in the life of Hoagy Carmichael, (featuring) the music he would hear and the dances he would see.

Monika Herzig

I'm so excited about joining Radio 1. I'm looking forward to talking about music, obsessing about music and playing loads of music.

Fearne Cotton

I try to look at this music career thing as the means to an end. And really, at the end of it, I see myself on a sailboat, sailing off the edge of the world.

Michelle Shocked

We really enjoy playing the music. Basically, we play for the people.

Patti Brooks

What we're doing here is leveling the playing field. Everyone's going to have to turn down the music.

Shawn Harrison

We were backpacking in the backcountry. We covered several hundred miles. Did a lot of off-trail stuff and some mountaineering. Music sounds different when you're high up in the mountains. You can really hear the music clearly.

Nat Keefe

I don't give a toss about writing really. It's a bit ironic that the things I'm really into are music and football, and I have never really been good at either.

Irvine Welsh

The thing that makes me proudest is their integrity in gospel music.

Betty Whisnant

[The Stones] thought nothing of ... music, golf, football and girls.

Andy Anderson

If the music industry has decided I'm influential, then that's their business, ... They tell me that's the case, but I think it would ruin an innocent mind if I were aware of that.

Michael Parkinson

(Mary's) research is expanding our views of music education beyond schooling and 'art for art's sake' contexts.

James Daugherty

Yeah, we have our differences, but we put those aside, and now we're making music. It's great.

Alex Van Halen

When you have a big crowd and the music is going, warm-up is a great time.

Joey Rodriguez

I see architecture not as Gropius did, as a moral venture, as truth, but as invention, in the same way that poetry or music or painting is invention.

Michael Graves

People will hear music this year.

Axl Rose

Music and image has continued to get more extreme as the world gets more extreme. We are the consequence of the modern decaying civilization.

Marilyn Manson

Mahler's first symphony is not a typical symphony in that it's not abstract music; it does conjure up images of nature and images of heroism.

Gregory Pritchard

Play your two favorite songs back-to-back, and just let the music move you. That really works on days when you're low on energy.

Meg Jordan

We don't want to define our policies in relation to the club's music, dress code or face control. As soon as a person defines a certain thing then he or she loses his or her interest in this thing.

Alexei Haas

People ask if we made this kind of record with an orchestra because of the classics and I say no, it's made up of the music I had stuffed into my ears as a kid.

Andy Partridge

We learned pretty early on in this band that you can't have snobbery in music.

Mike Shinoda

I was a fan when Cracker was last on TV so it's great to be doing the music for the new series.

Stephen Morris

People are always reinventing music.

Marc Almond

Generally speaking, we feel it's unfair to single out games as an art form and treat them differently from music and movies.

Hal Halpin

Music has been in our family for generations.

Henry Garza

We're not about fame and fortune; if it comes, it comes. We care very much about the music we write and it's important that people hear how we feel about these things.

Scott Terry

There's not a serious musician I know who wasn't hooked on this music since childhood.

Joseph Giunta

I've always written music the way I felt it. I write for the public because I feel like the public, the way they would write if they could.

Harry Warren

You separate the personal actions from the music. And what he does, he does very well.

Crystal Robinson

It was terrific. It was spiritual, it was the music, it was everything else that went with it. It was just a phenomenal moment.

Barry Feinstein

Benjamin was an instrumental music major, and the project started with a composition, and the screenplay was something that mushroomed from that. When this opportunity came up, we encouraged them to see the project continue on.

Ben Walker

There's nothing like it that can combine the things that are there, ... The art of drawing and painting ... music, dance, storytelling. All of these things in one package.

Marc Davis

One thing I am certain of is that, if I have done anything good in music, it was, first, because of my father, and second, because of my wife.

Charles Ives

The true heart and soul of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, as with New Orleans itself, is music. It's the force that drives and defines us. It's not just for entertainment, but it feeds our soul.

Quint Davis

Our music was a lot better and visual improved as well. We did better than this morning.

Sara Baker

I've always wanted to be an entertainer just like Donny Osmond. To be able to have a music career with my two best friends, the guys who taught me all about music, is a dream come true.

Chris Burke

It was called the Backstreet Market, and it was just like a local hangout. That was where the kids would drive their cars, hang out with their convertibles and listen to music. That's how we got ''Backstreet.'' We put ''Boys'' on it, because no matter how old we get, we'll always be boys.

Kevin Richardson

The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought which it suggests; just as the charm of music dwells not in the tones but in the echoes of our hearts.

John Greenleaf Whittier

My personal hobbies are reading, listening to music, and silence.

Edith Sitwell

I want people to see this kind of music not as entertainment, but as part of our daily lives.

Rodney Wynkoop

There's a beautiful connection between music and we think this box set kind of proves that, once and for all.

Michael Greene

We have no plans to acquire Napster, nor do we have plans to develop a music store at this time.

Sonya Boralv

If you are exposed to it with TV, music, pop culture, it becomes more acceptable. It's just part of the everyday lives. . . . With the older generation it's more foreign to them.

Ben Anderson

Country music has changed tremendously, so what now is considered country was not considered country at that time. We were doing stuff that probably could have been called country music today, but would certainly have not have fit in at that time.

Charlie Daniels

Playing music is not really susceptible to theory much. Circumstances affect it so much.

Derek Bailey

If I had grown up in any place but New Orleans, I don't think my career would have taken off. I wouldn't have heard the music that was around this town. There was so much going on when I was a kid.

Pete Fountain

That's unfortunate, ... Music is such an important part of an academic program, not just fine arts. It's one of the fundamental components in the no child left behind act.

Lawrence Fisher

I am moved by music, and certain things just make my day.

After Wild Child, I had pretty much had it with the music business.

Marisa Berardi

It's a good place to experience music and see how sound works in the world.

Connie Allen

Leaders must encourage their organizations to dance to forms of music yet to be heard.

Warren G. Bennis

Its because it is about playing music together and enjoying it. Other groups are so caught up in getting from this point to that point, not the music. This is about the music. Collectively we have the maturity to handle this and see it through now.

Jon Anderson

Yes, online music services should develop rapidly, but with a diversity of service providers.

Mario Monti

We've been fortunate to be able to make music as Depeche Mode for 20 years.

David Gahan

It's really encouraging to be around people who are so influenced by music. They have really incredible ideas.

Michelle Ammerman

For the sheer love of movement and creating music with my body. It's so liberating.

Raymond Rodriguez

It's like whatever now. But at first it was kind of annoying, but now it's not too bad. I put my headphones on and listen to music like that all of the time. It helps me just relax.

Jeff Jordan

We will miss George for his sense of love, his sense of music and his sense of laughter.

Ringo Starr

The earth has grown old with its burden of care but at Christmas it always is young, The heart of the jewel burns lustrous and fair and its soul full of music breaks the air, when the song of angels is sung.

Phillip Brooks

It's like a bunch of hard-core kids who decided they were going to write pop music.

Pete Wentz

The Holy Grail is music downloads.

Lewis Ward

By combining our expertise in digital media with the music leadership and marketing savvy of MTV Networks, we have created a powerful and unique way to experience music. This landmark collaboration will bring innovative new experiences to millions of music fans.

Blair Westlake

For my part I regard it as, in itself, neither one or the other... it is the way the music comes, the way it has to come.

Roger Sessions

There's a little more diversity in music, style and images, including a bilingual artist with a huge voice and a singer-songwriter cute hippie mom.

All my life I have been in love with film and music, and this feels like the best opportunity I have ever had to work with a fusion of the two artistic mediums.

Jonathan Demme

Whether or not it is lawful for users to share music one on one, it is entirely different for a commercial entity to create a business that induces users to do that.

Cary Sherman

We will have a lot of the same activities with an emphasis on the blues. Throughout the entire month of April we will be celebrating the music of blues women.

Pristina Jones

To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other.

Jack Handey

[She uses her iPod] all the time — before games, on the bus, in airplanes, ... I just love music. I love all music.

Lauren Jackson

Garth's music holds a magic that touches his fans of all ages, and making his titles available to our customers just makes sense since so many of his fans are Wal-Mart customers.

David Porter

His immense power is lightened by a rhythm which has in it as little obvious propulsion as a movement of music by Mozart.

Neville Cardus

Music, I feel, must be emotional first and intellectual second.

Maurice Ravel

Were so far away they had no idea of the impact we were making. They saw the music as local music that would never break out.

Paul Wall

Music is our second language.

Mike Saari

We look for the right piece of music that emotionally echoes the intent of the scene where it's going to be placed. And we look for all different kinds of music that echoes all different emotions and attitudes.

Paul Stupin

If New Orleans is allowed to die, a crucial part of the world's music heritage will disappear.

Ray Davies

I wanted to be very serious about being a musician - a guy who cares a lot about the music and the band and why we did it in the first place.

Jason Lee

There is something more than music here, and only one in a million bands can get to this place.

Donald Miller

Country's hip; it's cool music.

Ricky Skaggs

Jazz has still not gotten to the point where it is totally, the most, the greatest thing is happening in music.

People are either artists who want to make music and make headlines or they are really celebrities who are flash in the pan and grab as much (as they can) when that flash is hot.

Thomas Defrantz

It came from my passion to keep the music itself alive.

Bob Everhart

The vote puts the livelihoods of people in the music and film industry at risk.

Nicolas Seydoux

In Memphis, we've got just a terrific heritage of music.

Anthony Sanfilippo

She had us sit down and look at the words without thinking of the cadence of the music.

Phillip Myricks

It's important to me that my music touches lives. Not everybody is Christian, but one thing people do have in common is that we all have struggles. We all have issues. We all have tragedies. I feel music should be there to heal, to give you a direction and give you hope. That's what I'm about.

Lawrence Williams

I told them to turn the music up.

Donnie Henderson

I would say that although my music may be or may have been part of the cultural background fabric of the gay community, I consider myself an outsider who belongs everywhere and nowhere... Being a human being is what truly counts. That's where you'll find me.

Annie Lennox

Playing music is the best thing in the world. It makes show business almost bearable.

David Johansen

Going out and playing music - that's what I do. I don't do much else.

Dave Grohl

The artists that are coming to this festival are some of the finest that you will ever see or hear, and yet they are not stars. This is not a festival about stars, but it's a festival about great music, great dance and great art.

Harold Wheeler

John Fahey

It's important to give kids an opportunity to see what the world is about, and music is a fantastic friend.

When words leave off, music begins.

Thomas Carlyle

Maybe 10 or 12 popular artists have been introduced into popular music since the show's debut, and it's only four seasons in.

Barry Jeckell

The relationship found its rhythm. He began to rely on me for ideas of where music could express ideas that he wanted to achieve.

Alexander Ross

The goal is to create an experience of learning about cultures through different demonstrations, food, art, music and history.

Keith Wilder

It's an intimate look at John's love for life. It's music for the eyes.

Larry Schwartz

We would like to maintain this beautiful music.

Carol Palmer

We decided our top floor should be a place where you could get away from the loud music, meet new people, hang out and talk.

Brian Bishop

Auto makers are doing a better job of addressing the needs of consumers, particularly in terms of entertainment solutions. Consumers are changing the way the listen to, manage, and discover new music.

Phil Magney

She's been our inspiration. The only reason we've stuck together is she's made all of our music better. She's inspired us to succeed.

Nathan Parent

We want to get people to listen to live music. Come hear people doing real stuff. Come out and see music in its raw form.

Ted Gambler

Pat Acheson

Mac's Place was packed after the concert. That was awesome. People just wanted to continue to listen to great music.

Angela Clark

It's just a well-written play. There's not a lot we can do other than to just do it. It's a piece of music.

We are not here to protest Radio City Music Hall. They are victims of deception of the Chinese communist regime.

Levi Browde

There's a pretty big void ? a lot of people are into laptop music and there's not too many outlets for it.

Mwanza Dover

He is expert in classical music. He knew the composers and knew their lives. He read their biographies. He knew the subtly of their music. And he knew about modern music and all the modern composers.

Diane Jacobowitz

That happened to me last year, but we ended up making a lot of good connections and he definitely taught myself and my family a lot about the music industry. It just made me stronger and I know now to keep my guard up a little bit better.

Kellie Lynne

I can only think of music as something inherent in every human being - a birthright. Music coordinates mind, body and spirit.

Yehudi Menuhin

The difference between me and the newer artists is that I have the history with the architects, the masters that started the music. I know where the music came from.

Ricky Skaggs

We support encryption. But there is no magic fix for music piracy.

Brad Williams

We look at it as an extension of her ministry. People can take her music home with them.

Dan Rice

Great music completely obliterates any conceptions of genre.

Billy Corgan

She's my hero -- anybody knows that. She had the guts to really do it and raise her family, and she has a high precedent for me. I really love her music and what she stood for.

Michelle Nixon

It was great for country to come to New York City to widen the scope of what we are trying to do with the genre and dispel some misconceptions about country music in general.

Jay Demarcus

There just aren't as many artists in Christian music that put the effort and emphasis on the live part of the show. I can say with confidence that we're one of the better live acts to go to in Christian music.

Mark Lee

I just like that music, ... I like all of it.

Dennis Phillips

I'm one of those getting back into music; I call myself a reemerging artist.
