My advice is: if you've got to be miserable to write great music, then drive a truck.
More than anything, I realize I've been blessed to make great music.
I am the daughter of the Chairman of the Board and thus, was raised with great music.
Pop changes week to week, month to month. But great music is like literature.
All I've been trying to do all my life is to make great music.
What is the best music is impossible to define. Just because it's played by a virtuoso player, doesn't mean it's great music. It might not reflect the soul of a people, which is really my criteria for great music.
When music is crashing around us, when you hear the same five songs on the radio that aren't really saying much, we can always go back to great music. Great music always lives on.
I have never had a great love of the music business, I never have.
Great music is in a sense serene; it is certain of the values it asserts.
That's kind of the mission statement for the label: to try to do great music that touches people's hearts.
Rock music is predictable, unless there's great talent involved.
I don't regard myself as a great classical or jazz pianist. I like country music, but I'm not a great player. I just like music. Drums 'n' bass is pretty exciting and I'd love to explore it.
We thought it would be great to see if you could put pop music back into musical theater.
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.
I think that there's always great music being made. Always has been, always will be.
Lauryn Hill, P-Funk, Marvin Gaye, Public Enemy - I have a very diverse palate for music. I can go from Judy Garland to Jimi Hendrix to Stevie Wonder to Rachmaninoff. I just love great music.
The Internet is both great and terrible. As a source of information, a tool for delivering music and art, it's great. But spamming ads and piracy of music is terrible. It's stealing.
I do like Marylin Manson, actually. I think, he's very talented and he did make some great music.
I have no doubt that there are great people about though... the thing of it is, nothing to this day moves me like classical music (Debussy, Vaughn Williams).
