I don't know why people are so surprised by my live performances. My approach is so simple; every song I sing, every story I tell, every move I make, must move the audience to laughter, tears or inspiration. Otherwise, why should I do it?
John Davidson

I don't really care who gets their inspiration from where, it's the end results that count.
Robert Lloyd

I felt Joyce was an influence on my fiction, but in a very general way, as a kind of inspiration and a model for the beauty of language.
Don DeLillo

I get a lot of inspiration from the audience feedback to our live shows.
Donnie Iris

I get my inspiration from everyone when I need it and how I need it.
Picabo Street

I have drawn inspiration from the Marine Corps, the Jewish struggle in Palestine and Israel, and the Irish.
Leon Uris

I have inspiration and feelings of being alive most every day I live.
Judy Collins

I have never been in any country where they did not do something better than we do it, think some thoughts better than we think, catch some inspiration from heights above our own.
Maria Mitchell

I have worked enough and I am happy to be touring the country speaking about living with MS to give people inspiration and motivation to help themselves.
Teri Garr

I just hope that our fans are people who are inspired by music, and just use our music as a background or inspiration for whatever it is they do.
Maynard James Keenan

I know that the nice shines I have on is going to pass. The nice cars will pass. All that will stay is the music and the work. That's where I get the inspiration to help people out and work.
Wyclef Jean

I long to speak out the intense inspiration that comes to me from the lives of strong women.
Ruth Benedict

I look at the dancers and I get the inspiration for the work from them.
Graeme Murphy

I really think about the times that I've been through with my husband and all the stuff that we've been through together, and I think to those moments for inspiration for the role.
Deborah Cox

I think as long as people are around and can hear a record and hear people like Lester Young on a recording, there will always be a great inspiration for somebody to try to create jazz.
Sonny Rollins

I think at one time every drummer wanted to play like Krupa or wanted to win a Gene Krupa drum contest. This is the big inspiration for drummers and naturally it has to be the same way for me.
Buddy Rich

I think I'm a born storyteller. Inspiration is all around me. I can read a newspaper article and come up with an idea for a book.
Jackie Collins

I think that's given inspiration to other musicians. I know, particularly through the 90s, a lot of bands would cite Rush as an influence. I don't think it was so much our music, but more the way we really stuck to our guns.
Alex Lifeson

I think the inspiration came from the fans. Whenever I'm online or whenever I get a chance to really communicate with the fans and the audience, they always say that they would love to have all of the remixes on one CD.
Deborah Cox

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