I say I have a midlife crisis every time I start and finish a record.
At the time, the only options were playing the local county fair. Now with American Idol and younger recording artists that have come out, there is more of an opportunity.
I don't believe that a lot of the things I hear on the air today are going to be played for as long a time as Coleman Hawkins records or Brahms concertos.
Substance must emanate from spirit and is nothing else than the record of the spirit's conception of itself finding expression in space and time.
I didn't really like 'You Raise Me Up' at the time we recorded it; now it's my favourite Westlife song.
As every teenage girl, I was absolutely obsessed with The Beatles, and the first record I bought was 'Please Please Me.' I'd have been 13 at the time.

Vince: What's the name of your label? Rob: Top Five Records.
The Count: Here's a rather long record. I hope I'm here at the end of it.

Sooner or later a rider will emerge who will win more Tours. In every sport we have seen how the records eventually get broken and cycling is no exception.
A Grammy is really nice, but having lots of fans is really nice, too. I think just getting a record out is a success on its own.
We recorded our first CD, Sixteen Stone, with a small budget and never dreamed that we would enjoy such a high success. It was simply fantastic.
Never mind what others do; do better than yourself, beat your own record from day to day, and you are a success.
I just think we shouldn't get into counting coaches' records. I've never been for that... but I know that's just American society.
People ask me to record their answering machines all the time. I love it. It's a miracle to me that people want to hear back those characters.
I listen to archival and historic recordings. I love watching singers. I learned a lot from watching videos.
Composers today get a TV script on Friday and have to record on Tuesday. It's just dreadful to impose on gifted talent and expect decent music under these conditions.
Records are just moments of achievement. They're like receipts for work done. Time goes on and people keep playing music.
