Sound Quotes

I’ve discovered that sheer quantity doesn’t necessarily make for a heavier sound; if anything, overdubs make guitars sound mushier Picture Quote #1

I’m pretty basic as far as technique is concerned. I don’t use many gadgets, and I like the sound my guitar makes, anyway Picture Quote #1

The Marshall guitar amplifier doesn’t just get louder when you turn it up. It distorts the sound to produce a whole range of new harmonics, effectively turning a plucked string instrument into a bowed one Picture Quote #1

I started playing the guitar when I was 14. I’m not superstitious about guitars, but I do need strings to be old because that’s part of my sound, and I don’t like steel strings Picture Quote #1

My favorite thing about guitar, and the thing that always drew me to it when I was first learning to play it, was those moments when you think you know what it might sound like, but you don’t, and then you hit it, and it’s a total surprise. You hear it with really fresh ears. Alternate tunings, for me, they give that back Picture Quote #1

I am aware that somewhere along the line, I’ve subconsciously turned down the pitch of my speech, like a silencer of a gun that softens the sound of its firing. Now, even when I yell, I don’t feel like I am using my full voice Picture Quote #1

I’m a better person in a relationship, and I’m a happier person. I need to come home at the end of the day and have it not be about me and my freaking hair and makeup and character motivations anymore. And I think my work is more inspired when home is safe and sound and solid, because what I do for a living is so bananas and so insecure Picture Quote #1

I’m better for it and I prefer to keep things simple and see what sounds I can get out of my head and hands rather than relying on a sound that someone else created Picture Quote #1

It may sound too good to be true, but once you’ve seen the happiest people in your life who have nothing, you really start rethinking what the world, and society, tells us that we need to be happy Picture Quote #1

Long after you’ve forgotten someone’s voice, you can still remember the sound of their happiness or their sadness. You can feel it in your body Picture Quote #1

The idea to do the album only on keyboards kind of happened by accident. I was quite happy with the sound and felt it really didn’t need more instruments, so I didn’t use them Picture Quote #1

Presents don’t really mean much to me. I don’t want to sound mawkish, but - it was the realization that I have a great many people in my life who really love me, and who I really love Picture Quote #1

If the sound of happy children is grating on your ears, I don’t think it’s the children who need to be adjusted Picture Quote #1

On a day when you’re not feeling so good, you put on a happy face, it’s infectious - these things sound kind of corny and stupid, but this is our life Picture Quote #1

Who is my biggest inspiration? Wow... I really, without wanting to sound ‘aw gee shucks,’ I’d have to say my wife who taught a rather uptight Englishman what there is to be got out of life. Susan is my greatest inspiration. She has more integrity than anyone I know, and integrity is more important than anything for a happy and successful life Picture Quote #1

I’d like to get something together - like a Handel, Bach, Muddy waters, flamenco type of thing. If I could get that sound, I’d be happy Picture Quote #1

No doubt the truth is hard to come by for those who do not like the sound of it - dreams and illusions are so much more pleasant Picture Quote #1

No literature is sound, no philosophy of action workable, if it doesn’t take a hard look at itself Picture Quote #1

I admire Tom Ades: he’s a brilliant conductor, and he gets just the right hard, brilliant sound from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra for Russian music Picture Quote #1

I find it quite hard to sum up my relationship in a sound bite. I feel that it trivializes it for other people’s pleasure. It’s an adventure Picture Quote #1

When I try to speak perfectly then I am not Jackie Chan anymore. Some words sound like I am trying too hard. The whole thing is not me Picture Quote #1

The hardest part of playing the trumpet is the physical act of making the sound Picture Quote #1

For an individual fully to play himself, rather than to sound like someone else, is possibly the hardest thing to do Picture Quote #1

This chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra is enacted from the spiritual platform and thus this sound vibration surpasses all lower strata of consciouness - namely sensual, mental and intellectual Picture Quote #1

I can write anywhere. But I don’t use a computer, and I could never write on a laptop. I hate the sound of computers; it’s too dull, like it’s not doing anything for you Picture Quote #1

I have been a man of great sins, but He has been a God of great mercies; and now, through His mercies, I have a conscience as sound and quiet as if I had never sinned Picture Quote #1

I know what it takes to make a band, how they should interact, what makes a record sound like it’s a band - everything having to do with a band, I happen to be into Picture Quote #1

It’s a 360-degree sound experience. Like you’re in the middle of the band. A lot of people have the technology to play the format, so why not put it out there. It sounds great Picture Quote #1

I’m quite an untidy person in a lot of ways. But order makes me happy. I have to have a clear desk and a tidy desktop, with as few visual distractions as possible. I don’t mind sound distractions, but visual ones freak me out Picture Quote #1

There’s something really emotional about not having any sound. That allows, I think, the audience to participate more actively and kind of imagine what are they talking about there? Picture Quote #1
