Music has shaped men's fashion, and transposed in a playful and witty manner its riding or military heritage. It is difficult to figure out who leads, but music and fashion are connected genetically.
There's still not as many women in music as men, and I don't really know why. I don't have the answers. I do wish there were more women that played music.
I know if I wasn't making music and acting, I would be involved in the performing arts world in some way. I would be either writing and making music for other artists or producing movies.
You know, sound was still a fairly new thing when I came into movies. And the reason musicals happened is because of sound. They could put music in the picture! That's how it all began.
I come from musical theater, and a lot of musical theater is about accepting fantasy. I think it is more about just being open and accepting.
Abolish music prejudices. Form opinions and love music for itself, not its genre, performer(s) or popularity status.
It occurred to me by intuition, and music was the driving force behind that intuition. My discovery was the result of musical perception.
Music that gentlier on the spirit lies, Than tir’d eyelids upon tir’d eyes; Music that brings sweet sleep down from the blissful skies
My hope for the future, not just in the music industry, but in every young girl I meet…is that they all realize their worth and ask for it.
Music, even in situations of the greatest horror, should never be painful to the ear but should flatter and charm it, and thereby always remain music.
If the present world go astray, the cause is in you, in you it is to be sought.
There is no greater sorrow than to recall our time of joy in wretchedness.
Fox came to us with the concept for ICE AGE and they came to us with the first draft of the script. They also gave us a mandate to make it into a comedy from what was previously a rather dramatic action concept.
We are living in the machine age. For the first time in history the comedian has been compelled to supply himself with jokes and comedy material to compete with the machine. Whether he knows it or not, the comedian is on a treadmill to oblivion.
I knew at a young age that I wanted to do comedy, and maybe part of that was trying to fit in at school because I had a weird name, and my parents had these accents, and I was definitely a late bloomer.
My younger sister's a comedian. She has a sketch comedy group in Chicago called Schadenfreude and I look at her with such admiration and envy because it's such an amazing thing to make someone laugh.
Well, all comedy starts with anger. You get angry, and its never for a good reason, right? You know its not a good reason. And then you try and work it from there.
I loved comedy all my life. I think it's a real powerful art form.
I paint; I draw and paint - I've been doing that since I was in third grade, drawing realistically and then changing to abstract art. That was my first creative thing before guitar or comedy.
The bounties of space, of infinite outwardness, were three: empty heroics, low comedy, and pointless death.
I try to tell the best story, and the story that has some heart and some genuine terror and some social commentary and some comedy and some romance and some sex and some violence.
