John Tesh Quotes

Our band doesn’t really have a name Picture Quote #1

We’re big fans of the idea that faith without works is dead Picture Quote #1

Big band music, to me, it really has three key elements. First is the lyrics are really sweet, and they’re just really family-friendly. The second thing is the music is jazz music, so the music is complicated enough to hold your attention for 5 or 6 million plays. That makes the songs interesting. The last part is the fact that it’s danceable Picture Quote #1

Risk means everything from being honest about your faith, to moving, to quitting a job that’s paying you a fortune but it’s not what’s in your heart. Risking things is one of the biggest fears we have Picture Quote #1

When I was first writing, I was writing mostly about sporting events, which was really what my assignments were. I was working on the Tour de France bike race and the Barcelona Olympic Games, and those songs tend to be very big, very bombastic-type music, which is the type of music that I love to write Picture Quote #1

I’ve sort of become the poster boy for quitting your job and following your dreams Picture Quote #1

Entertainment Tonight’ would send me out to do interviews with musicians like Sting and Coldplay, and I was able to watch how they plan their shows. The late Jerry Garcia of Grateful Dead always had a game plan, but he also was flexible if he had to change something at the last minute Picture Quote #1

I like writing different types of music. I like writing Christian music. I like collaborating with Christian artists. We have a Christian following. I love writing kids’ music Picture Quote #1

I hate to say it, but Christmas as a kid was always a moneymaking venture for me. I played trumpet, and a friend of mine who played trombone and a guy who played tuba, every Christmas we’d go out for three or four days beforehand and play Christmas carols on our horns Picture Quote #1

My house was really like ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’ I sang in the choir and was very involved in the church Picture Quote #1

There are so many miserable people out there who have not fulfilled their dreams. I believe you should do something that you love Picture Quote #1

After playing so many songs in churches for eight or nine years, I’ve learned what songs people react to. Then I just had fun with the arrangements. That’s how this album came together Picture Quote #1

We never want to go into a tour and play 15 songs and say ‘Enjoy.’ We have messages: Number 1, follow your dreams. If I can do it, you can do it. Number 2, give your life to something. We say, ‘Volunteer and add seven years to your life.’ You can have your own personal ministry. The message we have is ‘What do you stand for?’ Picture Quote #1

I am always exhausted; I am always trying to find more time to be with my family, which is why they travel with me so much Picture Quote #1

My favorite bands were Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Jethro Tull, Uriah Heep, Grand Funk Railroad. If you listen to some of my early music, you can hear it Picture Quote #1

Oprah was famous for going to a garden party and ad-libbing. She could literally interview people for a half hour about nothing, and it was entertaining. She had her own show before she had her own show Picture Quote #1

I do a long sound check. I get there at noon on the day of a show and sit behind the piano and then walk around with the microphone. Then I feel like I have done my homework Picture Quote #1

A great moment of clarity when I realized I’m dying. There’s no reason to wait to do the things we want to do Picture Quote #1

I was really raised by three women - my mom, and I have two older sisters, one nine years and one 11 years older - so I’m happy to have that many women in the house Picture Quote #1

There is no better feeling in the universe, other than being married and having a family, than standing on stage behind a piano and having 5,000 people waving at you. You cannot bottle that Picture Quote #1

Every three or four shows, we have somebody that will come up onstage and propose marriage Picture Quote #1

I always wanted to be a full-time musician. Every television job I had was a means to buy a grand piano, or to put in a recording studio, or something like that Picture Quote #1

I was 23 years old. It was a wild time. I was covering everything that blew up - blackouts, Studio 54, son of Sam killer, and all of that stuff Picture Quote #1

I’ve been stuck on John Eldredge lately. He’s all about being a warrior outside of the church. I hate to think about this kind of stuff - I just like to do it Picture Quote #1

Those worship songs on the Christmas project will air on PBS television. That’s highly unusual Picture Quote #1

The world is full of people who have dreams of playing at Carnegie Hall, of running a marathon, and of owning their own business. The difference between the people who make it across the finish line and everyone else is one simple thing: an action plan Picture Quote #1

I call it the Etch A Sketch life. Every few years, you should shake that thing up Picture Quote #1

When I was playing piano, it was like, ‘I’m going to write a song using all the white keys.’ My music director, who knew my jazz background, suggested I try big-band music, so we spent a year experimenting with it in concert, and the audience reaction was really good Picture Quote #1

It’s my job to try and be as good a person as I can, and that’s enough work for me Picture Quote #1

The best thrill is standing on stage and playing - other than being married to my wife Picture Quote #1
