Quality is timeless: It will clearly define itself. And so I make reference to and acknowledge things that I feel have been dismissed, trying to restate those musical and cultural elements clearly and vehemently.
Dwight Yoakam

I had my own musical ideas that Mick helped me with as well.
Lou Gramm

The human voice is the first and most natural musical instrument, also the most emotional.
Klaus Schulze

I think that New York is the city of all cities. There is so much diversity there. I also like that when I go there, I can catch a play or musical and see some of the most talented people practicing their craft.
Kevin Johnson

We incorporate various electronic devices - the echo plugs and things like that. Actually, all we're trying to do is make that sound musical. As opposed to just making sounds, we do musical things with them.
Chico Hamilton

I just know so many people who have six or seven foreign languages and have read everything and have musical training and they are still dorks.
Joseph Epstein

I can sing, but my voice is untrained. I'd like to do a musical someday.
Sherilyn Fenn

That was more or less coincidental in the sense that my parents wanted me to come back to New York because that's the center of musical activity still to this day, more or less, and so I auditioned for the Metropolitan Opera.
Gunther Schuller

My operas usually come from musical ideas rather than ideas about subject matter.
Harrison Birtwistle

The process of filmmaking is very musical, you get into the rhythm and the rhythmics of how someone is, especially with Woody Allen who is very much into body language and body movement.
Charlotte Rampling

America does not need gorgeous halls and concert rooms for its musical development, but music schools with competent teachers, and many, very many, free scholarships for talented young disciples who are unable to pay the expense of study.
Anton Seidl

My biggest musical influences are probably my parents.
Bobby McFerrin

First of all, I think that is true, if you are a musician, particularly on the come, that you do have to end up in one of these musical centers, some way, to be viable, saleable and so on.
John Sebastian

I would like to win the Pulitzer Prize. I would like to win the Nobel Prize. I would like to win a Tony award for the Broadway musical I'm now working on. Aside from these, my aspirations are modest ones.
Evan Hunter

Maybe I've got to admit that what I did here was enough. I can make some more films. Maybe I'll direct a film. Maybe I'll have my musical put on stage. But nothing, really, to be absolutely honest, competes with making a very successful pop band for 10 years of my life.
Gary Kemp

I have no restrictions, no limits, no musical history to live with.
Bill Wyman

So, essentially my contribution was to introduce repetition into Western music as the main ingredient without any melody over it, without anything just repeated patterns, musical patterns.
Terry Riley

And the invention of transformations of certain figures has become the most important in musical composition.
Karlheinz Stockhausen

There is an urgent need for Americans to look deeply into themselves and their actions, and musical poetry is perhaps the most effective mirror available. Every newspaper headline is a potential song.
Phil Ochs

But I mean, again, Zappa's far more musical than the Bonzos ever were.
Neil Innes
