I mean, just because you're a musician doesn't mean all your ideas are about music. So every once in a while I get an idea about plumbing, I get an idea about city government, and they come the way they come. Jerry Garcia
If I hadn't of had music in my life, it's quite possible I'd be dead and I'd much rather be alive. James Hetfield
There is geometry in the humming of the strings, there is music in the spacing of the spheres. Pythagoras
Have you listened to the radio lately? Have you heard the canned, frozen and processed product being dished up to the world as American popular music today? Billy Joel
Music is the refuge of souls ulcerated by happiness. Emile M. Cioran
I think the most important thing about music is the sense of escape. Thom Yorke
Where I come from it was really unheard of to be at a party and someone says, 'What kind of music do you make?', and you say, 'Pop music.' You may as well have 'I'm not cool' stamped on your forehead. Lady Gaga
I dropped out of NYU, moved out of my parent's house, got my own place, and survived on my own. I made music and worked my way from the bottom up. Lady Gaga
I decided to pursue music, so I dropped out of school and I told my parents I didn't want any money from them. I got three jobs and I just hit the ground running. Lady Gaga

I wanted to prove the sustaining power of music. David Bowie
I don't profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime, for instance. David Bowie
The absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years, and nothing is going to be able to stop it. I see absolutely no point in pretending that it's not going to happen. I'm fully confident that copyright, for instance, will no longer exist in 10 years. David Bowie
I'm well past the age where I'm acceptable. You get to a certain age and you are forbidden access. You're not going to get the kind of coverage that you would like in music magazines, you're not going to get played on radio and you're not going to get played on television. I have to survive on word of mouth. David Bowie
Agressive music can only shock you once. Afterwards its impact declines. It's inevitable. Brian Eno
Music's always been really cathartic. It's the best drug for me to get away from the everyday pressures just for a second via a good song. Ville Valo
I would love to continue in music, with writing... but I am not the kind of person who will hang around if I start to become irrelevant. If that happens, I will bow down gracefully, raise my kids, and have a garden. And I am going to let my hair go gray when I am older. I don't need to be blonde when I'm 60! Taylor Swift
I think I first realized I wanted to be in country music and be an artist when I was 10. And I started dragging my parents to festivals, and fairs, and karaoke contests, and I did that for about a year before I came to Nashville for the first time. I was 11 and I had this demo CD of me singing Dixie Chicks and Leanne Rimes songs. Taylor Swift
The earth has grown old with its burden of care, but at Christmas it always is young, the heart of the jewel burns lustrous and fair, and its soul full of music breaks the air, when the song of angels is sung. Phillips Brooks
I'll give up this sort of touring madness certainly, but music-everything is based on music. No, I'll never stop my music. George Harrison
