Usually, when I do a soundtrack, the music from the movie doesn't have anything to do with me personally. It's music to enhance to the film. My own stuff is more introspective and about what's on going in my head.
In the course of transferring all my CDs to my iPod, I have found myself wandering the musical hallways of my past and reacquainting myself with music I haven't listened to in years.
..my music isn't just music- its medicine.
I love my pop music.
My head works in music, so there's always music there.
Certainly my only interest is not in Celtic music.
Music is a really powerful way for me to catalyze all kinds of things. It's always been the cure. Through music, I've healed all the wounds I've had and celebrated all the good things in life. Through music, I turn things, good or bad, into energy.
I always felt a love for music, but I never got my nerve up enough to try a musical instrument in school.
I was feeling really restless in my hard-rock band. I wanted to learn more about storytelling in music, and that's what country music is.
My proposition is that music is at the heart of what 'The Magic Flute' means: that it's Mozart's music, not the words, we should be attending to. Music expresses what can't be expressed otherwise.

When I listen to music these days, and I hear Pro Tools and drums that sound like a machine - it kinda sucks the life out of music.
A composer knows that music is written by human beings for human beings and that music is a continuation of life, not something separated from it.
Most of the people who write pop music were outsiders at some time in their life.
Classical music requires an immense amount of concentration, and I don't know if I would've been that committed to that particular life.
I am passionate about music and my work to the bottom of my very soul, but I also very much enjoy good clothes and some of the finer things in life. Rappers do, too, and perhaps it's one of the reasons I've been welcomed so warmly into their world.
After my touring life, I'd love to be more involved with charity. It gives me a lot of fulfillment, you know? I would love to get people who are into my music more active in charity work. In the future, when I have more time, I'd love to do spend mor...
