Musician Quotes

I don’t think any musician ever thinks about making a statement. I think everybody goes into music loving it Picture Quote #1

My job is essentially that of an entertainer, no different to that of a musician, no different to that of an actor. I just happen to be an author Picture Quote #1

Everything that I do is limitation and complete intuition. I’m a human being. I’m not a musician. I’m not an entertainer. I don’t know anything! Picture Quote #1

People of talent resemble a musical instrument more closely than they do a musician. Without outside help, they produce not a single sound, but given even the slightest touch, and a magnificent tune emanates from them Picture Quote #1

I went to art school and never thought I’d be a musician, but then punk rock came along in the late 70s and kind of ruined my life. So I quit art school to get involved in music and I’ve been doing it ever since Picture Quote #1

It’s a very weird job to have as a musician, because you spend long periods of time alone and then you have to go work with people for a long period of time and present your music after you’ve been making it by yourself. It’s a very drastic phase Picture Quote #1

One musician listens to another musician, and you get inspired and then you do your thing, but it’s yours Picture Quote #1

I love playing anyone that does stuff that I don’t do. The fun of playing an assassin is that I’ve never killed anybody. The fun of playing a brilliant musician is that I don’t actually play any instruments Picture Quote #1

The musician of the present day, not being able to give us what is beautiful, torments himself to give us what is new Picture Quote #1

I’m not a martyr, just a musician who dies for your sins. Oh, that’s what a martyr is? Very well then, I am a martyr, if you insist Picture Quote #1

I have no illusions about being a genius musician. I pride myself on being a soldier, a warrior for jazz. I trained a lot of young people, and I’ve learned my lessons well. I’d like to keep the flame burning Picture Quote #1

Art has been good for my soul. And it’s been good for my brain. I think I’m a better painter now than I was a musician growing up. You struggle to see things and translate an image through your hands to a canvas Picture Quote #1

I can feel my father’s spirit within me. I can feel similarities within us from the artistic perspective from being a musician. We have a lot of similarities Picture Quote #1

I would like for people to not be stuck by the rules of what is expected of a classical musician. If you really want to do something different, don’t be afraid to do so. Think of music itself and not the rules or expectations of people Picture Quote #1

When you commit to being a musician, I don’t think you’re really sure or care about when you’re going to pay the bills. I don’t think you care about that as much as you care about playing music Picture Quote #1

I never looked at being a musician any different than waking up one day and wanting to be an accountant or a lawyer Picture Quote #1

A conundrum of music is that music brings people together, yet to become a skilled musician involves a certain amount of lonely time in which you’re just figuring it out, practicing Picture Quote #1

I think one of the things which always is forgotten in music class, is the first thing you have to do as a musician is you have to learn how to listen Picture Quote #1

As a musician you have to keep one foot back in the past and have one foot forward into the future Picture Quote #1

A great hang is mandatory. But in all of my years as a traveling musician, on a whole it’s been pretty damn magical. There have been a couple duds along the way, but most time, I’m in awe of the guys who want to play on my records Picture Quote #1

You can’t stay the same. If you’re a musician and a singer, you have to change, that’s the way it works Picture Quote #1

When I’m dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance Picture Quote #1

A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds; his auditors are as men entranced by the melody of an unseen musician, who feel that they are moved and softened, yet know not whence or why Picture Quote #1

If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music Picture Quote #1

To have read the greatest works of any great poet, to have beheld or heard the greatest works of any great painter or musician, is a possession added to the best things of life Picture Quote #1

Even though I’m known as a pop musician, I have a seriousness about what I do Picture Quote #1

I’d rather give up my ears than my eyes, which might sound unusual for a musician Picture Quote #1
