Every time you go in, it's like starting over. You don't know how you did the other records. You're learning all over. It's some weird musician amnesia, or maybe the road wipes it out.
Beck

Everything around a writer, or musician in the record business, probably everything in all the United States or in all of western civilization, is about competition.

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

For Debussy the musician and the man I have had profound admiration, but by nature I'm different from him. I think I have always personally followed a direction opposed to that of the symbolism of Debussy.
Maurice Ravel

Julian Lennon

I also had a brother who was like me a musician and a composer. A man of great talent, far more gifted than I. He died very young... he killed himself in the prime of his life.
Gustav Mahler

I always try to teach by example and not force my ideas on a young musician. One of the reasons we're here is to be a part of this process of exchange.
Dizzy Gillespie

I always wanted to be a full-time musician. Every television job I had was a means to buy a grand piano, or to put in a recording studio, or something like that.

I am a musician, but I'm another type of musician.
Sun Ra

I am a Slavic musician and it is deeply inside of me.
Miroslav Vitous

I am not a pop musician; I don't want to play bubble-gummy pop stuff.

I am perhaps the oldest musician in the world. I am an old man but in many senses a very young man. And this is what I want you to be, young, young all your life, and to say things to the world that are true.
