Music

Since I met Starsmith, my producer, I really feel like Im making music because we write it together and produce it together. Ive got a proper involvement in the end product as opposed to just writing a song and finding someone else to produce it. – Ellie Goulding

Because of the Thames I have always loved inland waterways – water in general, water sounds – theres music in water. Brooks babbling, fountains splashing. Weirs, waterfalls tumbling, gushing. – Julie Andrews

Id like a male to listen to my music and find it kind of fascinating, what a girl goes through when they get heartbroken or get sad or get hurt by something. – Ellie Goulding

Theres a great enthusiasm for good country music all over the world. – Willie Nelson

I maintain that when I finally retire from my career in music, I will go and live back in Wales – when I am an old person, if I live to be an old person. The water I miss, and the air, theres something different about it. And I miss the simple life. – Ellie Goulding

Ive always said that Adele has turned so many people on to British singers – whether female singers or just like music from this country in general. – Ellie Goulding

We used to play music for fun. Much more than now. Now nobody picks up a guitar unless theyre paid for it. – Leonard Cohen

I need music. Its like my heartbeat, so to speak. It keeps me going no matter whats going on – bad games, press, whatever! – LeBron James

I dont really have a style icon but I really admire the way people dress like Gaga, Rihanna and Gwen Stefani. Its good to be inspired by singers who write music and dress incredibly – rather than models and people in the fashion industry who dress immaculately anyway because its their style. – Ellie Goulding

I start really missing London when I go away. I have a little flat, but very central. I live above a pub and youd think itd be a nightmare, but I like hearing the music and its quite comforting. – Ellie Goulding

It didnt even occur to me that Im the last person in the world who should play salsa or Brazilian music. – David Byrne

We dont make music – it makes us. – David Byrne

People are already finding ways to make their music and play it in front of people and have a life in music, I guess, and I think thats pretty much all you can ask. – David Byrne

Even from a listening end now, Im still completely a fan of music. – James Iha

Im not suggesting people abandon musical instruments and start playing their cars and apartments, but I do think the reign of music as a commodity made only by professionals might be winding down. – David Byrne

Ive rarely seen video screens used well in a music concert. – David Byrne

Theres more good music being made now than ever before. – David Byrne

The imminent demise of the large record companies as gatekeepers of the worlds popular music is a good thing, for the most part. – David Byrne

I think Im a music fan before anything else. – Nuno Bettencourt

So theres no guarantee if you like the music you will empathize with the culture and the people who made it. It doesnt necessarily happen. I think it can, but it doesnt necessarily happen. Which is kind of a shame. – David Byrne
