I think records and music are more appropriate and more respectful of the human soul than the churches are. And more respectful of the needs of humans to communicate with the aspects of themselves that are neglected by language.
I have Aboriginal roots on my father's side, and have always indentified with that spirit. I feel a lot of my music comes from that place.
In France the music schools are a bit old fashioned. I was more excited about doing my own stuff or to play with my friend in my band, than studying the piano.
I tend to like simple music. And clever, succinct lyrics. Songs that don't try to be more than they need to to be effective, to stir up something emotionally within you.
Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature.
We didn't really expect to achieve anything outside of the UK, and it just went crazy. It's just crazy that people know our music. We're just humbled by it.
As a woman, you spend so much time either cooking or getting ready to go somewhere. I like to have music when I'm doing either of these things.
I was raised by muses. Women who had men in awe of them and who wrote them movies and wrote them music.
I just picked up a lot of classic-rock, melodic influence from my mom, music that she listened to, like 10,000 Maniacs, Led Zeppelin, REO Speedwagon and Yes.
I sure lost my musical direction in Hollywood. My songs were the same conveyer belt mass production, just like most of my movies were.
Besides writing music and surfing, I like to simply chill with my friends. Watching movies and going out to eat are often my prime choices for a day off.
Sometimes music, movies and books are the only things that let us feel like someone else feels like we do.
My skin is hard when it comes to my music. But with my movies, I'm still a virgin in a lot of ways. I'm not used to being shot down for no reason.
[trying to quiet the brawling audience] Music hall announcer: Gentlemen, please! You're not at home!
August Rush: The music is all around US, all you have to do is listen.
I studied at Guildhall and did the acting course, but because I could sing a bit, I kept being cast in musicals.
Listen within to find shining poetry and hear extraordinary music. You are a work of art.
I run around so much that I finally reasoned that composing is the one musical endeavour which you can do anywhere, anytime.
sometimes music isn't just a bunch of sounds and lyrics, sometimes it's more than that: a time machine...
I had been building electronic musical instruments since I was a kid.
Aerow creates a drawn out sense of pressure with the use of rather simplistic. Quite frankly, [the music] is fantastic.
