Ain't nobody making music to not be heard and the easiest way to be heard is to be on the radio, but you should never compromise who you are, your values or your morals. Talib Kweli on music
You can have great sequences with music, but if you don't have the acting you're bored after 15 minutes. Or not bored, but you're like, 'So what?' Danny Boyle on music
We talk a lot on 'Biggest Loser' about how fitness is a natural antidepressant, how it burns off stress. What I like about running is that it gives me time alone. I'm always busy, with people at work, with my kids. I love getting out for a run by myself and just listening to my music. Alison Sweeney on music
I'm not trying to keep up or adapt. I'm allowing myself to grow, evolve and create new music. LL Cool J on music
I love that sense of change that you'd get in pop music every three minutes, every four minutes. Danny Boyle on music
I want to promote poetry to the point where you got all the baldhead kids running around doing poetry, getting the music out of the way and having only words, the spoken word, and then see what happens. Russell Simmons on music
Hip-hop's always reached out to kids. If you look at the last 10 big albums it might seem ironic. But when I look at the history of this music it's always had a lot of positivity. LL Cool J on music
I sing a mixture of everything from opera, folk music, Broadway. It's a mix of things. Katherine Jenkins on music
I'm really an inner spirit that only makes itself known through the music. A lot of people think I'm an introvert, or quiet and moody. I've even heard some people say that there's a certain mystery or darkness about me. I'm not that way. I'm just really into what I do. Faith Evans on music
Nobody was listening when I learned how to play music. But there's something about being on stage, talking to the audience, looking at them and smiling, that's always been difficult for me. I'm a lot more comfortable now, but there are still moments of awkwardness. Norah Jones on music
My music appeals in America. There is less of the purist criticism I get here. And to be a hit in the U.S... what singer doesn't have that dream? Katherine Jenkins on music
The one thing that kept our family together was the music. The only thing that our family would share emotionally was to have our dad cry over something the kids did with music. Dennis Wilson on music
What I was going for in the first two albums I didn't necessarily achieve. Because I was young and because it was my first time out. And the second album was such a 'quickie' sort of 'Let's just get it over with!' But the kind of music I make, there's a lot of subtlety in it. And I think it takes a couple of listens to actually really get it. Norah Jones on music
Oh, stuff the critics. I don't care. Too many people are snooty about classical. Look, I wasn't brought up in a home where we listened to classical music. It was a singing teacher that thought it would be best for my voice. Then I moved into crossover. And if that makes the music accessible to more people, then great. Katherine Jenkins on music
When I moved to New York, I fell head over heels back into country music and probably 'cause I missed something about Texas. Norah Jones on music
I love to listen to pop music and I admire people who do that, but I don't think I would ever be a very good pop star. I always leave that singing voice for the shower! I wouldn't put it out in the world! Katherine Jenkins on music
I wasn't very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me, it was all about jazz. Norah Jones on music
I think maybe because of the kind of music I sing, people want to believe you're a diva. They can't believe after eight years, and eight albums, you're still relatively sane. I feel like they almost want me to throw something at somebody. Katherine Jenkins on music
A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music. Norah Jones on music
You're now getting a new breed of people like Il Divo and Andrea Bocelli and I think that's why people feel less intimidated by classical music than they once did. Katherine Jenkins on music
