Music Quotes

I mean, just because you're a musician doesn't mean all your ideas are about music. So every once in a while I get an idea about plumbing, I get an idea about city government, and they come the way they come Picture Quote #1

We're not uncomfortable with it, and we've already been through enough of the music business where I'm not really worried that commercial success is going to in some way - we're already past saving, you know what I mean? It's too late for us Picture Quote #1

I just assumed the world was full of solo percussionists. I couldn't find sticks or music or anything where I was, but that was expected because there was nothing there anyway. And I think that was possibly the greatest asset for me, just not knowing Picture Quote #1

I sought my father in the world of the black musician, because it contained wisdom, experience, sadness and loneliness. I was not ever interested in the music of boys. From my youngest years, I was interested in the music of men Picture Quote #1

I like all kinds of music. I listen to Abigail Washburn, the Punch Brothers, and Marc Johnson, the great clawhammer player. I also listen a lot to Sirius Radio, there's a lot of bluegrass there Picture Quote #1

I'm enamored with the art world. Anytime you look at anything that's considered artistic, there's a commercial world around it: the ballet, opera, any kind of music. It can't exist without it Picture Quote #1

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by it's mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it Picture Quote #1

Color is a plastic means of creating intervals. Color harmonics produced by special relationships, or tensions. We differentiate now between formal tensions and color tensions, just as we differentiate in music between counterpoint and harmony Picture Quote #1

Violence is a part of America. I don't want to single out rap music. Let's be honest. America's the most violent country in the history of the world, that's just the way it is. We're all affected by it Picture Quote #1

If I'm not on tour or in the studio, I'm in nature somewhere, usually some kind of ocean. Playing music has afforded me that. It's not lost on me that it's a tremendous opportunity to be able to spend your life being surrounded by nature Picture Quote #1

I think the hardest thing about making music now is being a great dad at the same time. There's an insanity that goes with writing - a mad scientist thing that you have to go through - and sacrificing a kid's upbringing to do that is not an option Picture Quote #1

I think music is the greatest art form that exists, and I think people listen to music for different reasons, and it serves different purposes. Some of it is background music, and some of it is things that might affect a person Picture Quote #1

I love scoring. Putting music to picture is a rewarding challenge and one that relies on interpretation of emotion - as in, what is the pivotal feeling in a scene and which character's point of view is driving it at any given moment? Picture Quote #1

Music is supposed to be an escape. It’s supposed to be somewhere you go, where you can be yourself, or be whatever you want to be Picture Quote #1

Everything that people lob at you who don't know you, it all hurts. When you're doing something as simple as making music, which really, theoretically, shouldn't hurt anyone - I mean, it's a song! Step back for five seconds and laugh Picture Quote #1

I mean, I kind of remember. I'm 36 now, so it's kind of hard for me to relate to what it was like when I was 25, or 24, but I do remember a period in time when that's how I defined who I was, by the music I listened to and the movies I went to Picture Quote #1

That's what music is to me. Like, stuff that I really like to play loud. And I've got my quiet CDs, too, that I listen to around the house, but if you can't go there, then. Everyone gets so upset with me, I can't win Picture Quote #1

Music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance. Poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music Picture Quote #1

My horizon on humanity is enlarged by reading the writers of poems, seeing a painting, listening to some music, some opera, which has nothing at all to do with a volatile human condition or struggle or whatever. It enriches me as a human being Picture Quote #1

When superstition is allowed to perform the task of old age in dulling the human temperament, we can say goodbye to all excellence in poetry, in painting, and in music Picture Quote #1

Music will always be my No. 1 passion, but I don't have to be doing it professionally. It's not really about that for me anymore. I feel like I don't have to look at it as a career. I can just rest in it and just be Picture Quote #1

Things have gone beyond my wildest expectations and dreams, and I feel like I've been given so many blessings in my life, between my friendship with the guys in the band, our wonderful audience, being able to play this music, and then my family Picture Quote #1

I've had to keep exploring different ways of presenting the music so I don't repeat myself Picture Quote #1

This was a time frame when dance music and clubs were having a real impact on culture, and it had an impact on me Picture Quote #1

My music will go on forever. Maybe it's a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever Picture Quote #1

Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something Picture Quote #1

Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid Picture Quote #1

There is a real patriotism underneath the best of my music but it is a critical, questioning and often angry patriotism Picture Quote #1

Adult life is dealing with an enormous amount of questions that don't have answers. So I let the mystery settle into my music. I don't deny anything, I don't advocate anything, I just live with it Picture Quote #1

I always wanted my music to influence the life you were living emotionally - with your family, your lover, your wife, and, at a certain point, with your children Picture Quote #1
