Rock music is niche.

The great moments of rock 'n' roll were never off in some corner of the music world in a self-constructed ghetto.

Great classic music that I've been turned on to has not only inspired and influenced me but it has had an effect on my songwriting.

I think ABBA have a pure joy to their music and that's what makes them extraordinary.

I find Indian music very funky. I mean it's very soulful with their own kind of blues. But it's the only other school on the planet that develops improvisation to the high degree that you find in jazz music. So we have a lot of common ground.

People think our music's very aggressive or angry or whatever and it's just the opposite really... I like laughing. And I like being really calm before a show and smiley.

My husband is a composer so he plays piano all the time and I sit there and clap telling my unborn child 'Hear me clap hear the music.' I know music in general is supposed to be good for babies to hear.

Music is the language of the heart and conservatives always screw it up.

The calm mind allows one to connect with the inner self the Soul the very source of our being. That's where the music lives. That's where my music comes from.

Singing is just a feeling set to music.

It seems like a lot of music today is so churned out and simple.

I've been a fan of electronic music since the beginning.

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.

Well I'll tell you I don't know how aware teenagers are of me. I think it really depends on the teenager and how well-versed in music they are and what kind of music they like.

I know music is subjective.

Pop music is not a threatening style of music.

Before I settled on music I wanted to be an archaeologist an astronaut all sorts of really diverse things.

I've done some acting and a lot of different things but mostly it's the music.

So it was out of necessity that Blackheart was born. I think it's great that now 25 years later we're not only putting out our own music but are able to put out music by other bands. That's really exciting for us.

I think what I'm going to do is get more balance in my life to still be able to go out and play the hard rock 'n' roll and do what I like to do in music.

I sure saw a lot of kids that I'm sure didn't know a lot about us or we were definitely new to them. The kids who came up to me afterward we'd talk about music sign a lot of autographs. So I'm sure we made a lot of new fans.

I plan to stay in music. I plan to keep making records.

I like music that's more offensive. I like it to sound like nails on a blackboard get me wild.

Def Leppard is obviously a different band that we are but the music work well tighter. And the audiences seem work well together too. We are opening but we're having a good time.
