I love Lady Gaga and I love Katy Perry and R&B and rap music... I love big, American pop music.
Music as background to me becomes like a mosquito, an insect. In the studio we have big speakers, and to me that's the way music should be listened to. When I listen to music, I want to just listen to music.
I'm moved by a lot of different kinds of music, whether it's pop music or R&B or straight-ahead jazz or free or opera or music from all parts of the world.
I don't sing country music because I'm not capable of singing other kinds of music; I sing it because I think it's the most beautiful kind of music there is.
I certainly have a fascination with pop music as a musical form, not necessarily as a lifelong commitment. I guess you could say I'm like a Casanova of music. I can't seem to settle down with one musical form.
I have always loved the process of making the music, reading the letters from the fans who get married to my music, have children to my music and play my music at their funerals.

I may quit the music business someday, but never the music.
What I do isn't black music; it's just my music.
Musicals are my favorite. I'm a musical theater buff.
Digital music boils down the actual musical experience.
Music and the music business are two different things.
The music business is motivated by money. Music is motivated by energy and feelings.
I loved 'White Christmas' for the music aspect. I was into musical theater.
I'm a good music provider, and I'm fine with that. I'm a quality music manufacturer.
Good music is good music, but it has to be good.
Sports without music is just a game. Music makes it entertaining.
Sports without music, it's nothing but a game. Music adds the emotion.
I've always been in music. I started out in music, and I will continue to do music.
