#music

"Our lives were just beginning, our favorite moment was right now, our favorite songs were unwritten."

"My love is like the shape your mouth makes while you whistle. Would you mind if I accompanied you on my harmonica?"

"Music is an agreeable harmony for the honor of God and the permissible delights of the soul."

"I need drama in my life to keep making music."

"Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent"

"Musicians have always had a better understanding of love than the rest of us. Over the years they have told us that love: is like a rock, is here to stay, is all you need, will find a way, will keep us together, will tear us apart, sucks."

"I am telling you what I know—words have music and if you are a musician you will write to hear them."

"Rap music's been around for too long now to be inspirational. The words are, but the music isn't."

"I had a boyfriend who told me I’d never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I’d fail. I said to him, ‘Someday, when we’re not together, you won’t be able to order a cup of coffee at the fucking deli without hearing or seeing me."

"I’m forever near a stereo saying, ‘What the fuck is this garbage?’ And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers."

"He not busy being born is busy dying."

"If you look back, Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven were mixing music and humor all the time."

"This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man."

"I love science, and it pains me to think that so many are terrified of the subject or feel that choosing science means you cannot also choose compassion, or the arts, or be awed by nature. Science is not meant to cure us of mystery, but to reinvent and reinvigorate it."

"I've got soul, but I'm not a souldier."

"Music, my rampart and my only one."

"Coming to Nashville has been so motivating and inspirational. Just watching people live and breathe their music and create something that they can feel from start to finish."

"Music is pleasing not only because of the sound but because of the silence that is in it: without the alternation of sound and silence there would be no rhythm."

"Do you know people who insist they like 'all kinds of music'? That actually means they like no kinds of music."

"I'm a people person, very approachable. I go out every night, tons of functions. I love all facets of this industry... Music, film, TV, books, art. I love being around creative people."
