Playing Music Quotes

There is a lot of work just in terms of traveling and logistics and people and gear and all that kind of stuff. But I never really have problems playing music. That never seems like work Picture Quote #1

Records are just moments of achievement. They’re like receipts for work done. Time goes on and people keep playing music Picture Quote #1

When radio stations started playing music the record companies started suing radio stations. They thought now that people could listen to music for free, who would want to buy a record in a record shop? But I think we all agree that radio stations are good stuff Picture Quote #1

No matter what, I will always prefer a live performance. Whether it be a play or a musical, or playing music live. As long as it’s live, it’s the best because there’s sort of an immediacy to connection between an audience and a performer, whereas where you do film or television, you’re at the whim of so many different forces Picture Quote #1

My playing music is strictly for fun. When I was in a band, I was really excited to talk about it since I had never really played music to that extent.

I hated teaching composition. I was playing music I didn’t particularly want to play, being on committees I didn’t want to be on Picture Quote #1

I’m not stupid enough to want to be famous. But I would like to be able to earn a living playing music Picture Quote #1

I want less and less control with music. Just playing music without any idea of composition or writing Picture Quote #1

I like to think that if it hadn’t gone as well as it has, if I wasn’t able to make a living off of playing music, I would still be playing the music. But, of course, I wouldn’t likely have had the opportunity to travel, and a lot of the places have inspired songs Picture Quote #1

Collaboration has become really integral to my process. I play music so that I can spend time with my friends and communicate in that way. I experience so much joy in that process, because, you know, it’s those times of getting together and playing music and all that comes with it that are the best for me Picture Quote #1

For me, when I grew up playing music, I played music in church and people were shouting and having a big time, and church wasn’t something where it was subdued. If you played something, you brought it to church with you Picture Quote #1

It’s my language, the language I speak. I’ve spent a lot more time playing music than talking or writing Picture Quote #1

I definitely don’t want to play by myself. I don’t relate to playing music that way. I like interacting with people Picture Quote #1

I didn’t start playing music really until I was 18/19, so it was a relatively new thing. I didn’t play much music in school Picture Quote #1

I can’t imagine being sixty years of age and playing music I wrote when I was in my twenties. I would rather sail the sea of consequence to new lands. Laps around the shallow end of the pool, not for me Picture Quote #1

It’s too bad music can’t be like movies. For me, playing music and listening to music and creating music is very environmental. It creates a certain environment; it sets a specific mood Picture Quote #1

The way I work on music is that I go into my studio, and I start playing music, and I see what happens, and... I never think about it Picture Quote #1

When I tour I’m going to countries to play music for people. My presence in a country is not an endorsement or a condemnation of that country’s policies. My presence in a country is an effort to connect with people through playing music Picture Quote #1

The moment you start to talk about playing music, you destroy music. It cannot be talked about. It can only be played, enjoyed and listened to Picture Quote #1
