Singing is a way of releasing an emotion that you sometimes can't portray when you're acting. And music moves your soul, so music is the source of the most intense emotions you can feel. When you hear a song and you're acting it's incredible. But when you're singing a song and you're acting it's even more incredible. Amanda Seyfried
I enjoy all forms of music - pop, classical and opera. Stephen Hawking

It's the moment that the audience falls in love. Lady Gaga

Honestly, I don't listen to nobody else's music but my own. It's kind of like sports to me. You don't see Kobe Bryant at a LeBron James game - he just works on his own game. And that's what I do. I only listen to me, so I can criticize and analyze and all those things. Lil Wayne
We live in the mind, in ideas, in fragments. We no longer drink in the wild outer music of the streets - we remember only. Henry Miller
The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul. Johann Sebastian Bach
Music is the wine which inspires one to new generative processes, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for mankind and makes them spiritually drunken. Ludwig van Beethoven
It is a wise tune that knows its own father, and I like my music to be the legitimate offspring of respectable parents. Samuel Butler
Of all noises, I think music is the least disagreeable. Samuel Johnson
Music is harmony, harmony is perfection, perfection is our dream, and our dream is heaven. Henri Frederic Amiel
I want my fans to love themselves. It's almost like I want to hypnotize them so when they hear my music they love themselves instantly. Lady Gaga
Musicians don't retire they stop when there's no more music in them. Louis Armstrong
