The musicians that didn't know music could play the best blues. I know that I don't want no musicians who know all about music playin' for me.
I love English rock music the best and have always been fascinated by The Clash, especially Joe Strummer, their singer.
Life is like a sewer. What you get out of it depends on what you put into it.
We decided we didn't want to do a musical for TV because the idea of writing a musical that would be seen on television once seems insane.
I don't think I've got the stuff that Broadway musicals are made of. But there are definitely many musicals that I enjoy. 'Hair' and 'Rent' might be my favorites.
If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.
My words are like a musical instrument, softly & seductively playing under the moonlight as they penetrate the depths of your loins!
I don't know if music can change the world overnight but I know that music can help someone make it through a difficult night.

I think music needs to be presented in a way so that kids can grasp songs, dances, simple music that's associated with some particular defining moment in human experience.
I had spent many years pursuing excellence, because that is what classical music is all about... Now it was dedicated to freedom, and that was far more important.
Rock and roll music - the music of freedom frightens people and unleashes all manner of conservative defense mechanisms.
I've managed to dodge the curse. Not all my family have. Of course, music helped me - music is all about civilization, about something worthwhile. It's all about ideas.
I am disappointed in the music business, I feel like a lot of people in the music business are phoney, there's a lot of people who will abuse and take my kindness.
Napster has pointed the way for a new direction for music distribution, and we believe it will form the basis of important and exciting new business models for the future of the music industry.
Nashville was totally different than I ever dreamed. I had only seen the music business on television and been to a couple of concerts. I had no clue.
You can do any number of things in the music business aside from trying to look like you're 25. To me it's embarrassing.
As a child, I was always very interested in music and had friends who were in the music business. I kind of accidentally fell into it and loved it. There was no reason not to - it was a great career.
Most artists, you know, you spend their entire lives learning how to play music and write songs, and they don't really know how the music business works.
If everyone in the music business were brutally honest about what their intentions were then you could sort things out, but it's all smoke and mirrors.
