I have ambitions to do a Broadway record one of these days and get in the studio with like, a real orchestra. I'm a big musical theatre geek.
My musical taste has always been wide. I started out as a folky before I moved on to blues and soul.
Songs are out there - they're waiting to be grabbed. I start with a phrase, musical and lyrical, words like 'I don't think so' and a nice riff. It rolls from there.
When you hear someone from the very north of Scotland speaking, I think its nice, very musical and harmonious.
I'm not that musical. I don't really know how a record is produced, and, funnily enough, I don't want to.
I believe in the relation between photography and music; And thats my inspiration.
I think English is a fantastic, rich and musical language, but of course your mother tongue is the most important for an actor.
I'm much more of a musician than a poet. I just feel much more confident about my musical abilities.
If I ever have children of my own, they will read 'Matilda.' They will watch the movie. And you can bet they will see 'Matilda: The Musical.'
Because my musical training has been limited, I've never been restricted by what technical musicians might call a song.
We've been working on a new album, which is going to come out next spring, which is very different, a change of style for us - it's going to be almost like rock music.
A love song must respect the canons of music beauty, entering the fibers of those who are listening. It must make them dream and pleasantly introduce them to the universe of love.
I have this typical Ukrainian face. Even people who know my music don't recognize me most of the time, thank God.
I'm healthy, have a loving and adorable family, great hunting dogs, a gravity defying musical career and most importantly, fuzzy-headed idiots hate me.
What we have to get clear to kids is that when you offer your stillness and open yourself to the experience of music, it pays you back more than you give.
Being on my own in a studio is really, really different than making music with the band. I can't say I necessarily enjoy it more, but it was just a new experience for me.
Singing with others is an unmediated, shared experience as each person feels the same music reverberating in their individual bodies. Singing is part of our humanity; it is embodied empathy.
If the composer withholds more than we anticipate, we experience a delicious falling sensation; we feel we have been torn from a stable point on the musical ladder and thrust into the void.
When it comes to Fashion Week, I'm over the too-cool-for-school runway experience with loud music in a raw space that's inconvenient for everyone.
American movies and music deliver themes of freedom, innocence, and power that appeal to others - partly because America itself was put together out of a multiplicity of national traditions.
I love music, and outside of work my family keeps me very busy, I have five children to keep track of.
