All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.
A real active music set, based and really concentrated on what the music's all about. That's what I'm all about - singing and a really good strong music set.
Before you can make good music, you just have to shut up. Then the music can say what it has to say.
I've always been a fan of country music. It's America's music - I love the songs, love the lyrics.
I love some electronic music. I'm not a big fan of dubstep, but there is so much good electronic music out there.
I'm not technically adept at music, but I'd love to be part of a discussion of where progressive rock ends and country music begins.
Popularity gets up people's noses. But I understand the importance and the function of popular music. There is an artistic purpose. Popular music helps people to develop a curiosity and leads them towards classical music.
I actually only started listening to house music around the time I started making it. I got hooked both to making music and to house music.
Starting out really punk came from not knowing any better and listening to music like that, not knowing how to play music - well, still not knowing how to play music.
Yeah, I always listen to both classic and newer folk-influenced music. Singer-songwriter, alternative music. I also listen to more experimental dance music.
You're surrounded by electronic music in New York. I mean New York is one of the few places in North America where electronic music is the prevalent form.
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'.
It's a dream come true, and with this music, with this Rossini, it's unbelievable how to express the joy and express the joy of the situation and the joy to play this music, to sing this music, it's really fantastic.
The most important thing is that you honor that musical integrity, whether you make music that sounds like ABBA or you make music that sounds like Void.
I got to where I couldn't listen to country radio. Country music is supposed to have steel and fiddle. When I hear country music, it should be country.
There are so many music genres competing against each other, but I feel like country music has always been a unified front.
Some people think electronic music is cold, but I think that has more to do with the people listening than the actual music itself.
I think I was first awakened to musical exploration by Dizzy Gillespie and Bird. It was through their work that I began to learn about musical structures and the more theoretical aspects of music.
I've been informed by both sides, jazz, western music, Asian music, African music, all sides, because I've been interested in the sound of the universe, and that sound is without limit.
I came up during that time when music, to me, was really music. It wasn't about talking about a woman and calling them a derogatory name or something like that. It was real music.
Music runs through everything I do - I even think musically; even when I was acting, but, especially, when I am directing. Directing is very musical.
