I'm quite into listening to music and not doing anything else.
Jonny Greenwood

My playing started to develop through the Miles Davis stuff I was listening to.
Robert Quine

We've been listening to Wagner, which is so great.
Bernadette Peters

Lately I've been listening to some classical music again, some jazz.
Alan Vega

Growing up in Memphis and listening to all kinds of music and dreaming... So that was one of the first times I wrote a complete song and set it to music and the whole bit. From then on, I was busy with it.
William Bell

Once again I stopped listening to the news this week.
Donella Meadows

If you listen to really deep ambient records that don't move too much, very still records, long after those records are finished, you might find yourself listening for hours to the sound of the room.
Bill Laswell

Music is the effort we make to explain to ourselves how our brains work. We listen to Bach transfixed because this is listening to a human mind.
Lewis Thomas

It was definitely a part of our life. I mean, my mom had both her brothers and her fiancee in Vietnam at the same time, so it wasn't just my dad's story, it was my mom's story too. And we definitely grew up listening to the stories.
Vanessa Kerry

I have to concentrate more intently when people speak. I always have to position myself on their right side so that I can hear out of my left ear. I sometimes get a crick in my neck from listening. But I don't there's too much else.
Stephanie Beacham

There is such a thing as tempting the gods. Talking too much, too soon and with too much self-satisfaction has always seemed to me a sure way to court disaster. The forces of retribution are always listening. They never sleep.
Meg Greenfield

I started off playing the clarinet, after I was inspired by listening to my dad's Benny Goodman records.

I enjoy listening to opera at home, occasionally, but I would much rather see it than just listen to it.

George A. Smith

My dad loved black singers. So listening to New Orleans music, eventually I wanted to play an instrument.
Bill Kreutzmann

What I have to do now is figure where my passion is, and follow my heart; I've proven that if I have the passion for something then I can succeed. I haven't been listening to my heart in the last little while.
Clara Hughes

I hadn't realized the number of people that are still interested in listening to what I am doing, people I would never know about if not for being online.
Edgar Winter

It's just like music when you reckon it up. It's like listening to Pavement it's just The Fall in 1985, isn't it? They haven't got an original idea in their heads.
Mark E. Smith

I started listening to and playing other music in the '90s. It was after hearing other bands, like Bad Religion, cover Ramones songs that I started to like our songs again.
Dee Dee Ramone

Fancy your having no sunshine in London yesterday! Here it was glorious, like full summer, and I sat up with the window wide open, listening to the discourse of two amorous thrushes.
Marie Corelli
