After my last solo album in '93, I got heavily into the film-composing thing. I didn't really have much to say... I was going through a divorce at that point, and to be quite honest, I really wasn't in the mood for making a CD then.

The solo project is going really well at the moment. I'm a bit nervous about the show but I've got a lot of support from my family and friends.
Natasha Hamilton
Solo home runs can't hurt you if you're pitching that way. His command was better in the strike zone, and when he does that, he has success.
Joel Skinner
I don't care about the marketing possibilities inherent in being the girl from Bikini Kill doing a solo record.
Kathleen Hanna
When Kevin takes a solo, ... there is a lot of information. He is thinking in these long rhythmic forms that will last 15 or 20 bars. For example, we will be playing in seven and he will do a pattern that will be in 13 over the top of that. He's just an animal.
Daniel Hoffman
Mitchell had a great game. He had his best game passing ever going 12 for 26 and still rushed for 98 yards. He did great on defense with seven solo tackles and three assisted tackles.
Matt Clark
It's a huge move for me to be going solo, but I'm looking forward to the challenge. It's also quite nerve-racking having been surrounded by six friends for four years, but I love the new single and other material I've been working on and we're all very supportive of each other.
Rachel Stevens
I'm having a really hard time figuring out if I just want to do it solo or have other people join in. I'm really nervous because I don't want to try to recreate anything. I have no idea what I'm doing.
Aimee Argote
The looping creates the impression of a much larger ensemble and affords a wider palette of textures. It is also just a cool change. I can be doing the solo guitar thing and then move on to a hand shaker, or something else. It allows me to keep an element of improvisation in my live show.
Todd Carey
In the absence of that, I am happy to play solo, but I don't think there is any comparison.
Derek Bailey
We are very excited about this camp because there is nothing in the area for youth to stay to have orchestral, chamber and solo experiences. Three camp scholarships will be available.
Annette Condeluci
In the solo category, there's going to be a race, and it's going to be fun to watch. The good people will probably be neck and neck.
Lou Dawson
Other people seem to write about love, don't they? It seems to be the least pretentious subject to write about. I've been taking a lot of criticism for it, but at least it's honest. But one shouldn't go and make a solo album if they can't take a little knocking, should they?
Christine Mcvie
I think playing solo is a second rate activity, really. For me, playing is about playing with other people.
Derek Bailey
I'm a fan of Destiny's Child and I think she's progressed even more as a solo artist. I chose Crazy in Love because it's a really good song to dance to - and it looks sexy.
Tupele Dorgu
I'm a classically trained musician. Most of the time I'm playing solo classical guitar. It's really exciting to be able to meld with a group of musicians, express myself on a larger palette.
Derek Williams
Solo home runs usually don't hurt you. But when there's four they do.
Jeff Francis
I'm pretty adamant about making sure of having somebody to hike with me next time, ... I don't think I'm going to do any solo hikes anymore.
James Penfold
The last record was what I would sound like if I played in a rock band - and I don?t. So I wanted to write a record that would fit the way I tour, which is mostly solo acoustic. It?s a completely different aesthetic experience.
Glen Phillips
I think the fact that they didn't attain the level of success of solo artists probably has something to do with it as well. They may have had some impact, but none are around today. They weren't able to sustain it.
David Nathan
It's an incredible feat that he pulled off. There are second guessers who said he shouldn't have gone alone. I don't agree with that at all. I solo in canyons all the time. It was just bad luck.
David Roberts
I left [the ball to Ward] out over the middle of the plate, ... He hammered the thing. It was well-struck. But it was only one mistake and a solo home run, which is not going to beat you, usually.
Brandon Webb
Even if it is difficult playing with other people - sometimes it's great, sometimes it isn't, but that is kind of the point of it. It loses its point playing solo.
Derek Bailey

Grateful Dead
I'm proud and grateful to have been a part of something that was very special and to have been able to achieve success. But I look forward to doing other things, too. I still would like to do some more things in my solo career and see that do well.
Mary Wilson Little
No matter where you're training - be it California or Florida - that you learn how to deal with these emergency procedures before they happen, and you learn how to deal with those before you solo the airplane.
Randall Harris
The thing is that we're all in our 30s. If we were 16, 18 years old, we could play that game. But we've got 10, 15 years of experience in our own solo careers, so we know what we can do. We don't need to show off.
Carlos Marin
I think solo shows are starting to be viewed as legitimate theater.
Michael Bias
The Pixies took it all. Just to see them get back together and play that well was great. I had seen Frank Black (Pixies lead singer) perform solo before, but this was the best I had seen him perform.
Cilla Calderon
And Elliot Easton of The Cars (who plays a guitar solo on the album) — we're all huge Cars fans, and we asked.
Ben Romans
I'm gonna do a solo record, [Brendan and Ohad] are gonna do solo records. If we tour, it's gonna be so amazing just to [hit the road on a small scale]. Going into a restaurant, I've never been able to ask for a table for three, and that would be nice one day.
Kevin Drew
There will be another Dr Dre solo album, without a doubt.
Mike Elizondo
I did 'State Trooper' as a solo with all of my effects, and Bruce himself showed up and came onstage and shook my hand twice in front of thousands of people and said how great it was.
Gary Lucas
A cap of good acid costs five dollars and for that you can hear the Universal Symphony with God singing solo and the Holy Ghost on drums.
Hunter S. Thompson

Marc Roberge
I didn't think I (got nervous), but I got a little nervous during my solo.
Matt Christensen
Just because you know umpteen billion scales, it doesn't mean you have to use them all in a solo.
Kirk Hammett
I didn't know what Ben Moody as a solo artist sounded like, ... I didn't even know there was gonna be [a solo record] until Avril Lavigne told me I had no choice. I played her 'Everything Burns' and she was just like, 'You're going to do a record, and that's that!' I didn't want to argue with her.
Ben Moody
Brad is the United States' premier solo sailor and we are very proud and extremely excited about this opportunity to support him.
Tommy Hilfiger
I didn't feel the inclination to put myself out on a limb that much on my first solo album. I stayed with songs that are simple and unpretentious. That's what I do best.
Christine Mcvie
I originally recorded [the latter] for the solo record, and I wasn't really confident with the way it turned out and I thought that the Kiley — as we refer to our band — would service it a lot better.
Jenny Lewis
No, I do it all, but I do love to play solo.
Bruce Hornsby
The problem that I have is with the music business. For some reason it seems almost impossible to get anything, any music, released which includes improvisation or soloing.

Solo: My Adventures in the Air.

Robbie Robertson
Of course, I just assumed that the world was full of solo percussionists. It was only when I studied music full time, in London, that I realized that the career of a full-time classical percussionist did not in fact exist. It had to be created.
