Aunt Marion was right... Never marry a musician, and never answer the door.
Charles M. Schulz

Basically, at some point, one day maybe you can expect to hear some of my music. I haven't really done that yet because my younger brother is a musician and really talented and I want him to come out with his music first.
Stephen Dorff

Because I have sixty years of being a professional composer, conductor, musician, whatever, and you develop a lot of friendships and you get involved with a lot of sort of long-term commitments and obligations.
Gunther Schuller

Being a musician is what I do, but it's not what I am.
Herbie Hancock

Being an American musician means being adventurous.
Michael Tilson Thomas

Being as versatile as I am, I take offense to the notion that no serious musician would not be doing a late night talk show gig. One has to be open enough in other areas to be able to contribute to a show like this.
Kevin Eubanks

Bob Dylan is quite a songwriter, and a great singer and musician. I won't bother with comparing myself to him, but I will say that I heard his records at a very young age and I still listen to all his records.
Frank Black

Bowie is a musician, but he works like a painter. Thom always thought that we should aspire to that.
Ed O'Brien

Buddy Rich was one of the most incredible technicians in the world, on this planet, but the only people he could really impress, who knew what he was doing was another musician or another drummer.
Dick Dale

But Dennis was a really solid musician, and we really needed somebody who could play bass like him.
Neil Innes

But I've always liked to be the kind of drummer and musician who likes to go outside of what's expected of me, and I've always been able to do more than you necessarily hear with every band I've ever played in.
Matt Cameron

But when I was a teenager, the idea of spending the rest of my life in a factory was real depressing. So the idea that I could become a musician opened up some possibilities I didn't see otherwise.
Wayne Kramer

But, I would be naive not to recognize the number of musicians who tell me they have been influenced by me and sight me - as well as Alex and Neil - as a musician who has been a positive influence on their playing.
Geddy Lee

'Cause I felt I didn't have anything else to prove as a musician... and boy was I wrong about that one.
Rick Allen

Christina Aguilera is an incredible musician and singer.
Debbie Harry

David Bowie's my favorite musician. I love him above all, but I'm really into rap a lot right now.
Ethan Suplee

Eclecticism is the word. Like a jazz musician who creates his own style out of the styles around him, I play by ear.
Ralph Ellison

Ellington is a writer and arranger, as well as a musician and leader. He does movie sound tracks.
Norman Granz

Elvis Costello had a brand new bag. He was a musician, but he knew all about the attitude part of it.
Nick Lowe

Every musician liked Peggy Lee, but not the general public.
Mel Ferrer
