I didn't want to stay in the Stones, and be stuck in a position having to play a music I didn't like anymore and that restricted me from doing all the others things I'm interested in because of time.
But why is it that in music, anything more than 5 years old - apart from a few hits - is never played on radio to the young public?
I always listen to a lot of different music when I am working on a project.
With the Rhythm Kings, I can involve myself in arranging and producing the music as well as the choice of songs.
I was listening to music long before rock 'n roll.
Even when I was coming through school, I was a loner and I used to study music and play it and play it, and I was in bands.
He has Van Gogh's ear for music.
I'm amazed by the ground that I covered. The music's the number-one thing. And if it isn't, you better quit now.
I never gave up on music, and I feel like music never gave up on me.
I've got to be honest: I don't listen to any music now. I don't even listen to mine! I like to walk fresh into the studio and have ideas that come straight out of me.
We wanted to establish a new fan base over here. And second, we wanted to challenge ourselves. We wanted to bring what is ostensibly new music to fresh ears and see what lights them up.
I don't know if I discovered I had any talent. It was dogged persistence. I had to have the music.
Music is math; music is spiritual.

At the end of the day, I want to spend time with my daughter, and this schedule enables me to do that while still having fun hosting '106 & Park.' I'm not really eager to get back into music just yet; I'm really eager to get into another movie before...
I play piano all the time. I'm always at my piano, playing music.
I listen to oldies but goodies stations, '60s and '70s music.
Pop music has been exhausted. The innocence has been exhausted. I think we've lost the ability to be blown away by music.
I grew up with all kinds ofmusic, but my heart was particularly drawn to Country Music because of the guitar playing, the lyrics and of artists like Steve Warner and Vince Gill.
What is nice about country music today is that most artists are not trying to do something everybody else is doing. They really are trying to develop their own uniqueness.
You know I want to sing for people, I want to jazz people up I want to make new music that they've never heard.
