I lived in an area where there were a lot of rock musicians, and we got together regularly in our studios.
The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisible things.
Somehow, magically, I've become an electronic musician, and I have a recording studio that looks like the bridge of the Enterprise.
I'm envious of writers and musicians. I think it must be so difficult. Not just the frustration, but the discipline.
I like to call myself a 360-degree artist. I'm a musician, but I have other things I do, too.
A musician is a professional, whether he or she is successful or not. The profession itself must be regarded as a stable job.
I played guitar when I was a kid a little bit. I can tool around with a guitar, but I'm certainly not a musician.

He didn't want me to become a musician, he wanted me to be a doctor, because he said singing was too hard.
I started imagining this whole different world. It was a society of musicians, a family I hoped I could belong to one day.
I think musicians and artists are the most philanthropic people I know. Their charity record of the music business would hold up to the work of anybody.
Everything around a writer, or musician in the record business, probably everything in all the United States or in all of western civilization, is about competition.
I'm always trying to think of something clever and fun to do with the music. There's so many cool things musicians and artists can do with their products.
You can't stay the same. If you're a musician and a singer, you have to change, that's the way it works.
I'm gonna be making records anyway, even if I had to sell 'em out of the trunk of my car. I'm that kind of musician and singer.
I think the death knell for any musician is getting a job that you like and pays enough that you just stay there forever.
Actually, I wanted to be a musician, either a guitarist or a drummer. I guess my dreams were in the entertainment industry, and I landed somewhere along there.

My musical education started in the limelight, because I found myself surrounded by real musicians, but after my career had taken off.
Just because you put super great musicians together, it doesn't mean you're going to have that chemistry as a band.
I enjoy reading about the lives of musicians, and find many similarities in their ideas of preparation and their utter devotion to this great, eternal language: music.
