Working with people, the musical part is one thing but the personal part is totally different and just as critical. If the friendship is there and it's a lasting friendship, then it will take care of itself.
John Mayall

I have always been intrigued with singing and I actually started my career in musical comedies.
Janine Turner

I began thinking I would do musical theater because in high school that was really the only sort of curriculum they had as far as getting onstage and doing anything that anybody would see. So that's what I did.
Gretchen Mol

I would like to involve myself in some black music. I would like to do some blues and some gospel music. I want to try stuff from other genres and try to widen my musical base.
Greg Lake

I gladly accepted the commission but was uncertain about what the end result would be. On the one hand, Cuban music was conquering the world; being heard everywhere, and our small island was already producing one of the popular musical genres of the 20th century.
Alejo Carpentier

Woody is so musical in his filmmaking. I've never worked with anyone I've trusted so completely. He won't let you hit a false note.
Dianne Wiest

My reading is always about musical biographies. I have an innate interest and passion for that.
Nina Blackwood

My musical director, Mark Cherry, is the most wonderful person who ever lived on God's good green Earth. He's my director, he does the arrangements. Really, he does everything - including certain janitorial chores!
Brett Somers

When punk rock came along, the one thing you were not supposed to be was musical.
Nick Lowe

I remember Tim telling me that he had an idea for a musical and he said to me that he was hoping that ABBA would be writing the music, which I thought was a pretty wild idea because they were obviously known very much as pop writers.
Elaine Paige

I believe I became one of the first singers to be launched via television exposure. I guess I was a new kind of musical stylist for a new kind of media.
Brenda Lee

To me, Bill's musical heart is in Earthworks, in the jazz they are playing, in the acoustic kit.
Robert Fripp

Every musical movement that is big enough has to produce some good musicians who wouldn't have had the incentive to start playing without it.
Alexis Korner

Sondheim is the Shakespeare of the musical theater world.
Mandy Patinkin

Look, I'm 40, I'm single, and I work in musical theater - you do the math!
Nathan Lane

Negro music and culture are intrinsically improvisational, existential. Nothing is sacred. After a decade, a musical idea, no matter how innovative, is threatened.
Archie Shepp

Jazz is known all over the world as an American musical art form and that's it. No America, no jazz. I've seen people try to connect it to other countries, for instance to Africa, but it doesn't have a damn thing to do with Africa.
Art Blakey

We teach young kids from 8 to 14 or 15 about their musical heritage through great songs written by American songwriters. We don't do too many modern composers, although we include songs from Billy Joel and other writers like him.
Margaret Whiting

I tried to pay some small tribute to A Man and a Woman (1966) with the recurring musical theme.
Dwight Yoakam

I like Rufus Wainwright a whole lot. He makes me wanna be even more musical.
Edie Brickell
