For my part if I consider poetry as an object I maintain that it is born of the necessity of adding a vocal sound (speech) to the hammering of the first tribal music.

The music industry's actions at the time of 9/11 and since have been actions driven by patriotism in most instances and greed and stupidity to a lesser degree. Sounds like real life doesn't it?

Sound is the vocabulary of nature.

The three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain the sound of wind in a primeval wood and the sound of outer ocean on a beach.

We talk of our mastery of nature which sounds very grand but the fact is we respectfully adapt ourselves first to her ways.

I still absolutely love 'The Sound of Music' and anything with Julie Andrews in it.

Drums just always sounded like the most fun part of that good music for me.

Music is what our feelings sound like.

I was a big fan of Middle Eastern elements of music and experimental electronic and tribal sounds.

I love sad songs. They say so much. I love country music but even the happy songs sound really sad.

All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock I don't subscribe to any of that. It's all just music. I mean the heavy metal from the '70s sounds nothing like the stuff from the '80s and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the '90s. Who's to say what is and isn't a certain type of music?

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

I think it's important for people who love music to retain physical CDs or even vinyl because it sounds so great and so much warmer than music over the internet.

I was lucky enough to be the lady that was asked to be Maria in the Sound Of Music and that film was fortunate enough to be huge hit. The same with Mary Poppins. I got terribly lucky in that respect.

All my concerts had no sounds in them they were completely silent. People had to make up their own music in their minds!

Because of the Thames I have always loved inland waterways - water in general water sounds - there's music in water. Brooks babbling fountains splashing. Weirs waterfalls tumbling gushing.

I'd call what I do pop music but it's folky and electronic and it doesn't really sound like much else.

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

There are certain sounds that I've found work well in nearly any context. Their function is not so much musical as spatial: they define the edges of the territory of the music.

That was a time when I did love music I couldn't get enough of what was going on. Maybe it was Nirvana that brought me back. I guess it was a comfort because something that sounded so right - and non-commercial - had become so influential so immediately.

Popular music formed the soundtrack of my life.

The sound and music are 50% of the entertainment in a movie.

All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock I don't subscribe to any of that. It's all just music. I mean the heavy metal from the Seventies sounds nothing like the stuff from the Eighties and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the Nineties. Who's to say what is and isn't a certain type of music?

Music is the soundtrack to the crappy movie that is my life.
