Music washes away the dust of every day life.
‐‐ Art Blakey
Music when healthy, is the teacher of perfect order, and when depraved, the teacher of perfect disorder.
‐‐ John Ruskin
Music, when soft voices die Vibrates in the memory.
‐‐ Percy Bysshe Shelley
Music - which I could never listen to while writing before I had children - became essential to my process.
‐‐ Dean Bakopoulos
Music, which should pulsate with life, needs new means of expression, and science alone can infuse it with youthful vigor.
‐‐ Edgard Varese
Music will always be a part of my life. I love music and I don't care how many units I sell.
‐‐ Alanis Morissette
Music will always be my greatest passion.
‐‐ Vanessa Mae
Music will always be my No. 1 passion, but I don't have to be doing it professionally. It's not really about that for me anymore. I feel like I don't have to look at it as a career. I can just rest in it and just be.
‐‐ Jessica Simpson
Music will always be there. I own a piano. I have it in my apartment. I play it every day, and I have a lot of musician friends who I play with.
‐‐ David Lambert
Music will never go away, and I will never stop making music; it's just what capacity or what arena you decide to do it.
‐‐ Dave Grohl
Music will never stop - it can never stop. I will continue to sing for my fans till the end of time.
‐‐ Sunidhi Chauhan
Music will save the world.
‐‐ Pablo Casals
Music-wise, I listen to everything. Leonard Cohen, Randy Newman - I guess I like a lot of '70s music.
‐‐ Bret McKenzie
Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.
‐‐ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Music would lose its charm were not dissonance interspersed at frequent intervals. The closer a composer can come to discord without actually entering it in the score, the more pleasing will be his composition when given life through musical instruments.
‐‐ Max Heindel
Music - you need the give and take from the audience, the feeling of attention. It's not about me: it's about the music itself.
‐‐ Joshua Bell
Musical accidents are a gold mine. The thing about accidental discoveries is they won't be made unless you put yourself in a position to make that discovery. To do that means hundreds of hours, days and weeks where you do things and don't discover anything.
‐‐ Tom Scholz
Musical auditions are always the worst because you have to sing and act, and that's so stressful.
‐‐ Jonathan Groff
Musical chairs or Russian roulette? Sometimes there's as much tense drama in the casting of a Hollywood movie as there is in the finished product.
‐‐ Richard Corliss
Musical comedies aren't written, they are rewritten.
‐‐ Stephen Sondheim
Musical composition should bring happiness and joy to people and make them forget their troubles.
‐‐ Horace Silver
Musical compositions can be very sad - Chopin - but you have the pleasure of this sadness. The cheap consolation is: you will be happy. The higher consolation is the pleasure and recognition of your unhappiness, the pleasure of having recognised that fate, destiny and life are such as they are and so you reach a higher form of consciousness.
‐‐ Umberto Eco
Musical 'fusion' projects have earned themselves a bad name, but that's mainly because they often involve pop artists conscripting orchestras to play unimaginative backdrops to their acts. What's really exciting is when you spark off a dialogue between very different musical forces.
‐‐ Charles Hazlewood
Musical harmony is based on physical principles, while in cooking, ingredients must be weighed out with precision. At the same time, you have to be able to invent because if one follows the same recipe all the time, you never create anything new.
‐‐ Fabiola Gianotti
Musical practice is too young an art in America to warrant a search for men with a conductor's gift.
‐‐ Anton Seidl
Musical revolutions, I don't know how many I've been through.
‐‐ Robbie Robertson
Musical shows are really popular because there are lots of talented kids out there that can sing and dance.
‐‐ Justin Chambers
Musical theater is an American genre. It started really, in America, as a combination of jazz and operetta; most of the great musical theater writers in the golden era are American. I think that to do a musical is a very American thing to me.
‐‐ Rachel Bloom
Musical theater is great; you get painted up, you get to play princesses and witches, and you sing. The joy alone of that can really carry a lot.
‐‐ Chris Pine
Musical theater is often seen as a lesser form of acting, although I don't see it that way.
‐‐ Christian Borle
Musical theater is one of my passions.
‐‐ Patrick Wilson
Musical theatre is my first love.
‐‐ Laura Benanti
Musical theatre is now a worldwide conversation.
‐‐ Maury Yeston
Musical theatre is something I'm familiar with, I've been doing that.
‐‐ David Naughton
Musical theatre is something that I always wanted to be a part of, and my first ever role on the West End as Joseph in 'Joseph And The Technicolor Dreamcoat' gave me a taste for it.
‐‐ Gareth Gates
Musical types tend to combine the burden of the author with the burden of the actor.
‐‐ Iggy Pop
Musically, I actually grew up listening to country music as a kid, like George Strait, Alan Jackson... all those guys. So it was kind of weird crossing over from that to pop and R&B, but you know, I love Michael Jackson, Ne-Yo, Usher, R. Kelly, Drake, Boyz II Men.
‐‐ Austin Mahone
Musically, I always allow myself to jump off of cliffs. At least that's what it feels like to me. Whether that's what it actually sounds like might depend on what the listener brings to the songs.
‐‐ Tori Amos
Musically, I didn't relate to Berlin. There seemed to be a lot of machine music made there - I don't think I saw a stringed instrument in two years.
‐‐ Feist
Musically, I have more things in common with tons of bands that have no female members.
‐‐ St. Vincent
Musically, I have my project, '30058.' It's seven songs, like an EP or mixtape, but I call it a soundtrack because I feel like my life is a movie, and all the songs are moments in my life.
‐‐ Shameik Moore
Musically, I try not to box things in. I try to just play around this spectrum of influences: soul, jazz, and hip-hop.
‐‐ Andra Day
Musically, New York is a big influence on me. Walk down the street for five minutes and you'll hear homeless punk rockers, people playing Caribbean music and reggae, sacred Islamic music and Latino music, so many different types of music.
‐‐ Moby
Musically, swing pretty much dominated in the '30s. And into the late '30s, swing is beginning to change over to bebop in the early '40s, which is exactly when this new science of theoretical physics, particularly theoretical atomic physics, was really coming to the fore.
‐‐ Chris Eigeman
Musically, there's a movement called the flatted fifth that's really evil-sounding. It was outlawed by the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages. That movement is what gives you a real evil sound that conjures up dark, fantastic images. It's like an audio horror movie. It personifies what a horror movie is about.
‐‐ Kirk Hammett
Musicals and horror movies are my two favorite genres because they're about extremes.
‐‐ Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
Musicals are, by nature, theatrical, meaning poetic, meaning having to move the audience's imagination and create a suspension of disbelief, by which I mean there's no fourth wall.
‐‐ Stephen Sondheim
Musicals are famous for being in a constant state of flux.
‐‐ Tim Curry
Musicals are hard for me because I got thrown out of the glee club in high school, because I couldn't sing in tune at the time. I can sing in tune now, but I have to work really hard on it to make sure that I don't exercise one of my great talents, which is the ability to sing in three keys at the same time.
‐‐ Alan Alda
