This music wont do. Theres not enough sarcasm in it. – Samuel Goldwyn

Were a bit flashy, but the musics not one big noise. – Freddie Mercury

Im just lucky because my kids are grown-up – I love them, very proud of them, and we are in close contact as big-time friends, but they dont need me that much now and I can actually enjoy this wonderful world of music. – Robert Plant
