That’s one of the great things about music. You can sing a song to 85,000 people and they’ll sing it back for 85,000 different reasons.
In the soul of a lover, it is always spring where flowers of ecstasy are always blooming. Music of love is always playing.
I've learned a lot from being a chameleon, sort of adopting the musical personalities of who I was playing with.
Good film, television, or music keeps you awake, anxious for the next movement or act, and wanting more when it is finished.
I'm not really a big musical fan. I enjoyed 'West Side Story' when it came out, but it gets a bit tired in the end.
If you're going to make a musical, don't cartoon it from the play. Make it better than the play. Have a reason for making it sing.
Hearing that the same men who brought us 'South Park' were mounting a musical to be called 'The Book of Mormon,' we were tempted to turn away, as from an inevitable massacre.
I wish I had the guts and talent to be a good comedian. I love the idea of it, yet I'm terrified of it. I'd also love to play music in front of people.
Theatre is about the collective imagination... Everything I use on-stage is driven by the subject matter and what you might call the text - but that text can be anything, from a fragment of movement or music to something you see on a TV.

There are right and wrong reasons for doing solo projects, and this album was done for the right reasons. At the time there was no Judas Priest and I certainly wasn't going to hang my hat up on my musical career.
The way I look at it, they're all part of my musical diary, and I can listen to any one of them and it will bring up memories of what was going on at that time.

I was in the studio so much, it was about the search for air in a metaphoric sense, and the breathing has more to do with travel for me, about the search musically for open air.
McMurphy: Why don't ya shut your goddamn mouth and play some music.
James Bond: [as Silva arrives at Skyfall in a helicopter while playing loud music] Always got to make an entrance.
Sister Margaretta: After all, the wool from the black sheep is just as warm.
