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!

Agressive music can only shock you once. Afterwards its impact declines. It's inevitable.

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.

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.

I wanted to prove the sustaining power of music.

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.

I think the most important thing about music is the sense of escape.

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?

There is geometry in the humming of the strings there is music in the spacing of the spheres.

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.

There is pleasure in the pathless woods there is rapture in the lonely shore there is society where none intrudes by the deep sea and music in its roar I love not Man the less but Nature more.

If the king loves music there is little wrong in the land.

Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity. So it's like just take advantage of these last few years because none of this is ever going to happen again. You'd better be prepared for doing a lot of touring because that's really the only unique situation that's going to be left.

It was Elvis who really got me hooked on beat music. When I heard 'Heartbreak Hotel' I thought this is it.

When I listen to music these days and I hear Pro Tools and drums that sound like a machine - it kinda sucks the life out of music.

I like pop music. I consider rock 'n' roll to be a branch of pop music.

Music was important. Football was the easy part.

The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.

I think older people can appreciate my music because I really show my heart when I sing and it's not corny. I think I can grow as an artist and my fans will grow with me.

People haven't always been there for me but music always has.

There is two kinds of music the good and the bad. I play the good kind.

All music is folk music. I ain't never heard a horse sing a song.

I think what made it difficult for people to get and still makes it difficult for people to get is the theatrical nature of the work and the fact that my music doesn't exist without the performance-art element.

Music can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable.
