I find that classical music helps put me in a place that is very calming and allows me to express emotion through my body. I played clarinet as a child, so I guess I have a bit of a musical ear.
Diane Kruger
One and the same thing can at the same time be good, bad, and indifferent, e.g., music is good to the melancholy, bad to those who mourn, and neither good nor bad to the deaf.
Baruch Spinoza
I didn’t really see the British punk movement, if that’s what it was, as wildly original, because I had been listening so intently to all the New York music since 1973, really.
Steven Patrick Morrissey
I believe 100 percent in the power and importance of music.
James Taylor
The William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh… was the place where Champagne Music was born.
Lawrence Welk
If you think my music is sentimental and self-absorbed, I agree with you.
James Taylor
I grew up with classical music when I was a ballet dancer. Now when I have to prepare an emotional scene, to cry or whatever, I listen to sonatas. Vivaldi and stuff. It’s just beautiful to me.
Diane Kruger
One time I introduced my orchestra as the Shampoo Music Makers instead of the Champagne Music Makers.
Lawrence Welk
Music is my living. I enjoy selling my music.
James Taylor
I always wanted my music to influence the life you were living emotionally – with your family, your lover, your wife, and, at a certain point, with your children.
Bruce Springsteen
I find that it isn’t wise to attempt to judge people on their public persona, and even on the music they make. Because I’ve met so many people whose music I cannot stand, and they’re very nice. At the same time, I’ve met people whose music I’ve loved, and they’re not the person you’ve invested all this emotion in.
Steven Patrick Morrissey
I think that is what film and art and music do they can work as a map of sorts for your feelings.
Bruce Springsteen
I think there are unseen powers who don’t want pop music to be anything other than glorified Madonnas.
Steven Patrick Morrissey
Country music is about new love and it’s about old love.
Jeff Foxworthy
And whether you’re drawn to gospel music or church music or honky-tonk music, it informs your character and it informs your talent.
Bruce Springsteen
