I feel this music has nurtured me as Ive been immersing myself in it. Ive felt supported by it. – Sting
Yoga is almost like music in a way theres no end to it. – Sting
Theres something missing in the music industry today… and its music. Songs you hear dont last, its just product fed to you by the industry. – Jimmy Buffett
Beyond a certain point, the music isnt mine anymore. Its yours. – Phil Collins
A movie goes from several stages, from idea to script. As you continue shooting, you will make some adjustments. Youre constantly adjusting. Its like a piece of music. Youre constantly trying to make it better. – Robert Rodriguez
Country music is important to me, and I love it, but its not my whole life. – George Strait
The problem for me, still today, is that I write purely with one dramatic structure and that is the rite of passage. Im not really skilled in any other. Rock and roll itself can be described as music to accompany the rite of passage. – Pete Townshend
What Im trying to do is find either existing properties or come up with properties or angles or stories which will create music drama. Its my obsession and most of all I would like to remain working in theatre. I think its very much alive. – Pete Townshend
I felt that the elegance of pop music was that it was reflective: we were holding up a mirror to our audience and reflecting them philosophically and spiritually, rather than just reflecting society or something called rock and roll. – Pete Townshend
The beautiful thing about hip-hop is its like an audio collage. You can take any form of music and do it in a hip-hop way and itll be a hip-hop song. Thats the only music you can do that with. – Talib Kweli
Its really hard for me to sometimes put myself out there, like Hey, how do you feel about making music together? because maybe Im afraid of rejection or I dont want to put anybody out. Its the Southerner in me, like, I dont mean to bother you but do you mind making a song? – Beth Ditto
Ive never had a very quiet voice. I tried in choir to make it smaller, and it just didnt work out. And I listened to a lot of soul music when I was growing up on my own accord. But I was mostly into Mama Cass and Gladys Knight, and they all had big voices too just different than mine. – Beth Ditto
I know that I can sing. Thats the reason I started playing music when I was twelve years old. – Kesha

Bands are about these little relationships that make everything tick, and when you create new music youre testing those relationships. – Jonathan Cain
I dont need anybody to market or promote me. If people dont want to hear this music, then its not for them. You cannot please everybody. – Lauryn Hill
Half the time I feel like Im appealing to the downer freaks out there. We start to play one downer record after another until I begin to get down myself. Give me something from 1960 or something let me get up again. The music of today is for downer freaks, and Im an upper. – Wolfman Jack
I think the pop chart today is entirely market-driven. And it has nothing to do with public taste. And it has nothing to do with moving music forward. Its simply a market chart. – Steven Patrick Morrissey
Boy bands should be exploded from a great height. Theyre just pretty people singing music written by others. – Eddie Izzard
If I had to play only for people who liked the music because they heard it on the radio, it wouldnt make me happy. Thats why Im working so hard to have, yes, a profile as an artist, but also a profile as a DJ. – David Guetta
