With music, you often dont have to translate it. It just affects you, and you dont know why. – David Byrne

Im prepared to spend the rest of my life playing clubs, if that means Im playing music that I believe in. – Billy Corgan

Mumford &amp Sons music appeals to a lot of America. Im really proud of them. – Ellie Goulding

Im quite private. And I never wanted to be the biggest star in the world, really. So in that sense Ive got a good balance of doing great shows, of making an appearance every now and then and writing music, and I dont really have to do much else. – Ellie Goulding
