When I am stressed, my No. 1 reliever is my music.
Every girl likes to just rock out when they put music on in their room - I learned that personally when fans would tell us how much they loved to make up their own dances to Cheetah Girls songs.
Music really gets me going, so I've always got to make sure I have my iPod to give me energy to work out.
It is a wise tune that knows its own father, and I like my music to be the legitimate offspring of respectable parents.
I am an interpreter of music rather than a composer of it.
I feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment. Everything is in tune: the voice, the type of music, who I am and who people think I am.
I'm an interpreter of music.
I don't have an iPod. I don't get the whole iPod thing. Who has time to listen to that much music? If I had one, it would probably have Sinatra, Beatles, some '70s music, some '80s music, and that's it.
I grew up using hearing aids, and I had speech therapy and so forth, and that helped me to develop a passion for music and helped me to develop my drumming talents.
We don't really talk about music that much, to be honest with you. It's not some I usually - I can't really talk about other people's tracks never mind my own.
The music industry over there seems to treat America like it's one territory even though they got offices in different parts of America - they're still quite sort of 'America is the territory.'

You have got to make new music, that is the way that I look at it anyway.
Probably my favorite piece of music, as an album taken as a whole, is Bruce Springsteen's 'Greetings from Asbury Park.' I just think it's incredibly pure. It's a sound that sort of broke new ground, and I think it paved the way for a hundred people t...
As a child growing up in a grey-skied Yorkshire village, I would occasionally happen upon a Bollywood movie on the television. After a few minutes watching a bunch of sari-clad dancers cavorting on a Swiss mountain to tuneless music, I would switch o...
Music is not supposed to be nationalist. It is supposed to surpass language barriers. It is about generations communicating with each other.
If I'm going to make music for the streets or the clubs or whatever, I go at it with 110 percent.
I have periods where I listen to regular rap, Jay-Z, Eminem and Lil Wayne. The next day I might have some Christian alternative music. The next day I have on some dance music. It all varies what I listen to.
One of the things that I think is such a constant in country music is that the song is so much a story. I believe it is supposed to be based around a story.
