Yes, but the great thing about all the people - and I don't think there is any exception - who I've worked with is they've all been very, very talented musicians.
I knew nothing of the real life of a musician, but I seemed to see myself standing in front of great crowds of people, playing my accordion.
We're not getting paid. We have these great musicians with us and it gives us a real charge. And the audience gives us a charge, because they keep it interesting all the time.
I think one of the great things about being a musician is that you never stop learning.
I love to play. And fortunately, I don't know a lot of musicians that suck. I know a bunch of really good ones, and they're always up for playing.
We're all players and musicians and we sure all get along good. We just clicked right off the bat. We started playing and then we almost immediately started recording.
One of my really good friends in New York is a musician and looks just like Lindsay Buckingham. We always fancied ourselves the nice Fleetwood Mac.
I think musicians oftentimes have the right skill set to be good actors. And with Rihanna, I noticed her and knew of her obviously, and was very taken with her charisma and her confidence.
I used to want to be a singer and a musician for years, from 6 years old to today. I'm not really good, but in time I could be. I'm more of a singer than anything.
I think the future looks great for music, musicians, bass players, and all we love about music.
Those who have expressed doubts and misgivings about their ability to live this kind of life shouldn't try, because being a musician is not something you chose to be, it is something you are.
I don't talk about my personal life. But the relationships I've had have usually been with other musicians. It's just easier that way.
I've never known a musician who regretted being one. Whatever deceptions life may have in store for you, music itself is not going to let you down.
I am a writer - that is what I am before being a performer or musician. I love waking up in the morning and then going to sleep that night with something that did not exist.
I'm an example of someone who never made it to university. I did have this dream to be a musician. I felt that this dream had an expiration date.
I grew up in a farm town in Indiana. In the early years I played by myself, because there were no other musicians around.
The intensity of being in front of all these incredible musicians and tremendous conductors in these elaborate halls can be overwhelming.
Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician.
I want to be 'Jimmy Chamberlin, the drummer, the musician who's done many things,' not just 'that guy from the Smashing Pumpkins.'
'Tis the common disease of all your musicians that they know no mean, to be entreated, either to begin or end.
There are things that I am very proud of and there are things that you are not so proud of. But I think that applies to any musician.
