I view life as a learning experience. It is not so much all about music; it is about what happens when you are doing the music.
That's the kind of musical freedom I like: jazz, rock, blues, anything. You adopt different attitudes when you play different music.
I think of the Roundabout as my musical theater family here in New York City.
The whole format of entertainment that I did seems to be fading away. The music business of today is completely different when you see the videos and the music.
When the music business failed to embrace the Internet, I thought it was game, set and match for the industry, and I quit.
Music is the greatest communication in the world. Even if people don't understand the language that you're singing in, they still know good music when they hear it.
I love that sense of change that you'd get in pop music every three minutes, every four minutes.
But maybe music was not intended to satisfy the curious definiteness of man. Maybe it is better to hope that music may always be transcendental language in the most extravagant sense.
I just hope that our fans are people who are inspired by music, and just use our music as a background or inspiration for whatever it is they do.
Only a tiny portion of music history involves a singer and a lyric. Songs in music are generally thought to be a minor form.
I just like music that sounds like music. Not like machines and computers and things that you design to make things sound slick and perfect.
Yes, my first memory of singing, in general, was of a Christmas song. And then listening to Christmas music was really the first music I was ever connected to.
Anybody I'm dating, I don't want them to talk about my music. I don't talk about my music to them.
I always thought of indie-rock as being rock music by bands that were on independent labels, and that's a great thing.
Great music is its own movie, already. And the challenge, as a music fan, is to keep the song as powerful as it wants to be, to not tamper with it and to somehow give it a home.
There was so much great music around in the '60s, stuff like The Small Faces, but I also love The Jam.
There's a great energy and drive that takes precedence in a lot of rock and pop. It's about making a strong visceral connection. That's something that I think great classical music can have, too.
The Bee Gees who are brilliant, I just love great music.
There's just no great rock albums anymore. There's a lot of rock music out there, but it's very bland and disposable.
I think that there's always great music being made. Always has been, always will be.
There's more good music being made now than ever before.
