I've always loved to prove people wrong. I want to be able to cross color lines, because in music, there really is no barrier.
There was a point after the whole intensity of the Clash finally subsided when I just found that painting grounded me in a way that music didn't.
I think possibly the first film that has music as its leading character.
My sense of divine brings with it a strange sound of music with its glories, a marvellous melody sounding like a multitude of flutes.
The Monkees was a straight sitcom, we used the same plots that were on the other situation comedies at the time. So the music wasn't threatening, we weren't threatening.
I grew up around salsa, merengue, bachata, bass music, freestyle, hip-hop, techno, house, rave.
I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter, the sound of which has always seemed to me the most civilised music in the world.
I think as far as the music industry is concerned, it's kind of been the wild, wild West in a way with the Internet, which is not necessarily a bad thing to me.
Most of the animated films I watched, the emotions are all prepackaged like canned music, the hand actions, the sighs.
Music became an obsession, and eventually we felt more comfortable with each other then we did with anyone else. The three of us were like one person.
Nobody will ever take Maurice's place, and he'll go on with us and he'll go on our music. He'll go on with us as the Bee Gees, and Maurice will always be with us.
The direction for my music is heaven, of course. We gear all things to the realm of heaven - which is the mind, the organized mind.
You can be a sex symbol through music or film. Hey, there are some politicians that are sex symbols. Is that something you should fight? No. Sex is very natural.
I'd like to be remembered as a keeper of the flame who kept traditional music alive, because I've been doing that twice as long as I was in the Byrds.
I believe that my music is just about feelings, and the style is just a side effect.
I think that people will always want music; I think that the form that they will get it in, or distributed to them from, and the price they pay for it is what's up in question.
I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.
A song is a short composition for voice and instruments. It is a piece of sung poetry set to music. It is usually only a few minutes long.
I don't know whether schooling would have helped me get farther along in music at this time. I doubt it would have.
For me, playing music is like meditating - I just play and don't really think about what I'm doing, I just let it happen.
I feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment. Everything is in tune: the voice, the type of music, who I am and who people think I am.
