I use music as a medium to talk to people.
You should play with real musicians; the best music comes from real people interacting with each other.
I've been called 'musically schizophrenic,' and some people think that's a cool thing.
Some people go to college. For me I studied music my whole life. That was my college.
Some people love some music, and they hear it a year later and they think, 'What was I thinking?'
I think some people would say that I do overwhelm the words with the music, and sometimes thank goodness I do.
I was raised to think that rock was music for ignorant people who didn't think for themselves.
Blending tracks and weaving and manipulating prerecorded music to create this mood, some people do it much better than others.
I'm very, very open to experimenting with different people and trying to find different methods of writing and making music.
We met because Chad was in one of my classes, and I was looking for someone to write music with. I knew that he wrote his own music, and he seemed nice, so I found out he was going to be in a practice room, practicing his trumpet. He'd already said h...
I probably won’t play a song the same way tomorrow as I play it today. Only a pitchman says the same thing the same way twice, without varying a word. If music is a language, why don’t people use it with the same subtlety, nuance, and facility as...
Every human being in this world is interested in certain things. Everybody has a hobby. Some people like art; I know nothing about it. Some people like books, some people like fishing, some people like music. I like to look at cars.
People are looking for something new at the end of the day, and I think when people can do something new and unique to get people's attention, that's what is needed. There's so many people that follow the trend, and then it gets to a point where it g...
Music is really something that makes people whole.
One of the interesting things here is that the people who should be shaping the future are politicians. But the political framework itself is so dead and closed that people look to other sources, like artists, because art and music allow people a cer...
The best part of making music, for me, is collaborating and working with new people and fresh sounds and all those things that gets people excited to continue in this business that we all love so much.
It's nice being friends over a period of time with people whose music you like so much, or other filmmakers, seeing people change, go through trials.
Some people hate the remixes, some people think it's cool. If you don't like that type of music and just like rock, you probably won't like it. But if you are open to more things, you just might dig it.
I'm a big fan of Yoko, one of those weird people who really love her music, and who argues with people all the time, because people do write her off.
I know some people will be surprised to hear it, but I've found that my music, whether its blues or rock, or whatever you want to call it, can be channeled into a positive direction that actually helps people.
My plays are for the kind of black people who relate to funk music, to Parliament-Funkadelic. When those guys get out of a spaceship - the idea that black people are from outer space, there's a poetic truth to that. We are this vast people.
