I think it's important to really press on with the song writing and just go with it. There's no code, there's no craft... it's just let yourself shine through your music. If it's meant to be loved and heard, it'll happen.
I seem to have secured some place in world of music and that's kind of all that really matters to me.
I couldn't imagine a day without music. It relaxes and stimulates me in equal measure and I hate the sound of silence - the concept, I mean, not the track by Simon and Garfunkel.
The gift of song is just like... I think music is one of those true things in this world that is universal.
I get paid to lie to people as an actor. Country music is the one area that I don't lie. I tell the truth.
For the first five years of music and first five years of acting, I don't remember it because I was running to where I was going. Finally I was like, 'Man, I missed everything.' So I just stopped, and I started looking around.
When you're playing country music, you have to tell the truth.
That's why people listen to music or look at paintings. To get in touch with that wholeness.
I do listen to Abba. And a lot of '80s and '90s pop music.
I don't listen to music while writing; it seems to me I'm trying to make my own kind of music, and to have anything else going on is just noisy interference.
Stone walls confine a tinker; cold iron binds a witch; but a musician's music can never be fettered, for it lives first in her heart and mind.

Using music to promote hate seems to be the bastardisation of music to me.
Breakfast is a peaceful moment for me, so I never have the radio on, no music, no noise around. The only noise that is permitted is people's voices. It's a way for me to wake up without too much of a high speed feeling.
I associate heavy metal with fantasy because of the tremendous power that the music delivers.
I was bred and raised in a multi-cultural music background.
I wanted to bring the R&B flavor and other Westernized sounds to my music, because that's the type of music I grew up listening to.
I'm proud of my roots. There are not many Asians in the music industry so it's important for me to tell people where I'm from.
Drugs have nothing to do with the creation of music. In fact, they are dumb and self indulgent. Kind of like sucking your thumb!
I think Andy Kaufman is to comedy what the Velvet Underground was to music - it's like, 80 thousand records sold, but everybody who bought one started a band.
I really enjoy dancing. When there's music around, I can't help it; I start dancing, especially when I'm with friends.
