I think there's nothing better than seeing a three-chord straight up rock 'n' roll band in your face with sweaty music and three minute good songs.

I love country music blues and punk and one day I might make those kinds of records.

I've seen country music go uptown like we say and I'm proud I was there when it happened.

I travel the garden of music thru inspiration. It's a large very large garden seen?

I love music.

I dabbled in things like Howlin' Wolf Cream and Led Zeppelin but when I heard Son House and Robert Johnson it blew my mind. It was something I'd been missing my whole life. That music made me discard everything else and just get down to the soul and honesty of the blues.

With music you often don't have to translate it. It just affects you and you don't know why.

From the beginning I knew intuitively that if nothing else music was safe and that nobody could tell me anything about it. Music didn't need a middleman whereas all the other things in school needed some kind of explanation.

What we don't need in country music is divisiveness public criticism of each other and some arbitrary judgement of what belongs and what doesn't.

We are the music makers. We are the dreamers of the dream.

I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter the sound of which has always seemed to me the most civilised music in the world.

Some of the greatest blues music is some of the darkest music you've ever heard.

Music is always a reflection of what's going on in the hearts and minds of the culture.

This was a time frame when dance music and clubs were having a real impact on culture and it had an impact on me.

My father was a minister and so rock music was banned in our house.

I don't see music as working.

People listen to music the way they want to listen to music.

I've had to keep exploring different ways of presenting the music so I don't repeat myself.

Lyrics are the only thing to do with music that haven't been made easier technically.

Perhaps when music has been shouting for so long a quieter voice seems attractive.

The prospect of music being detachable from time and place meant that one could start to think of music as a part of one's furniture.

I got interested in the idea of music that could make itself in a sense in the mid 1960s really when I first heard composers like Terry Riley and when I first started playing with tape recorders.

Lyrics are always misleading because they make people think that that's what the music is about.

In England and Europe we have this huge music called ambient - ambient techno ambient house ambient hip-hop ambient this ambient that.
