I'm a fan of all these genres of music, everything from Mumford & Sons to Beach Boys to doo-wop music to reggae.
I think you have to keep a childlike quality to play music or make a record.
I think the Flecktones are a mixture of acoustic and electronic music with a lot of roots in folk and bluegrass as well as funk and jazz.
Music-wise, I listen to everything. Leonard Cohen, Randy Newman - I guess I like a lot of '70s music.
I think you can see that in the show. Music was my touchstone. Music is still much more important to me.
From the beginning, I wanted to make dance music with a human element to it.
If you try to do that in pop music - to play only rare show tunes, for example - people don't come.
I really like musicals - 'The Music Man,' 'Oklahoma!,' 'Li'l Abner,' 'Annie Get Your Gun.'
My music is simple stuff. Anybody can sit down, look at a set of symbols and produce sounds the music represents.
EMI is a proven leader in the emerging digital music landscape and one of the world's largest and most respected music companies.
My music is an extension of who I am and what I went through and what I know musically.
I do listen to Abba. And a lot of '80s and '90s pop music.
I'm making music with my friends. It's fun. It should be fun. You shouldn't make music if it isn't fun.
I like rock music. I like jazz better, though.
When you go to the Opry for a show or hear it on the radio, you get the whole circle of country music.
Black music is too big and too powerful not to have its own awards show.
Anthemic rock music is inherently fascist - anything intended to move huge masses of people is politically offensive to me.
Actually, I hear a lot of rock music. My husband is a big rock fan.
Dance music is so interchangeable. There's not a lot of face to it. It's a bunch of Dutch DJs with the same haircut.
Country music is so related to gospel. It seems I could go down that road pretty easily.
It's interesting that the book publishing industry, on the iPad, has much more flexibility than the music industry had.
