To me, rock music was never meant to be safe. I think there needs to be an element of intrigue, mystery, subversiveness. Your parents should hate it.
Singles have a purpose that is higher than any earthly relationship. Marriage is honorable, but so is being single.
I like Louis C.K., Chris Rock. Old schools like Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy.
Jesse Stone did more to develop the basic rock-and-roll sound than anybody else.
I'm a big fan of '30 Rock,' which I think is the most genius show on television.
It's sort of what jazz would be if it stopped being snobby and what rock would be if it stopped being stupid.
Rock n' roll seems like it's faded away sometimes, but it will never die.
When I was young, I wanted to do something more low-key, like become a drummer in a rock band.
Rock & roll is not about what you play, it's about how you play it.
I think rock & roll has prepared me for a lot of flexibility.
I became producer so that I could work with persons like him and to rock the world of Hong Kong Cinema a bit.
He begged hard, and said he couldn't play—a plausible excuse, but too thin; there wasn't a musician in the country that could.
The greatest thing about doing this movie was that Chris and I both were involved in folk music in the '60s. I had a group, but I don't think it was at the same level as Chris, because he's an amazing musician.
I tried to sing 'What's Going On' with Amy Winehouse once at an old cinema in the West End. There was a funk band that had members of both of our bands playing in it, but it was the worst kind of place to sing bad karaoke because everyone there was a...
I've seen myself do stuff on stage that was pretty amazing. I think that would be true for any athlete. Any top athlete will see something that they are very proud of. All my injuries will attest to the fact that besides being a musician, it comes do...
I think Phil Collins is one of the most underrated musicians, singers, performers - he is absolutely amazing, I think, and I think he's probably got a bit of a rough ride occasionally because he became so mainstream and so popular.
I like characters. I like spirited characters whether they exist in fiction or real life. Whether they're the invention of artistic people or directors, musicians. I think music and art and fashion designers inspire me and I like characters.
Most of the musicians that I know almost to the man everybody uses Apple computers. They've thought of the steps that you're going to think of when you're trying to create your thing. And that's where the tools get invented to make better art.
Philippe also brought along musicians - mainly trumpeters and drummers - to scare the enemy. Even then, French music was known to terrify the English.
It might seem that the empirical philosopher is the slave of his material, but that the pure mathematician, like the musician, is a free creator of his world of ordered beauty.
The chanting went on, the musicians giving in to the rhythm of their own being, finding healing in touching that rhythm, and healing in chanting about death, the only real god they knew.
