May not music be described as the mathematics of the sense, mathematics as music of the reason? The musician feels mathematics, the mathematician thinks music: music the dream, mathematics the working life.
James Joseph Sylvester

Music is an art form too. Sometimes other forms of art can be inspiring to the musician.
Ken Hill

Music is emotional, and you may catch a musician in a very unemotional mood or you may not be in the same frame of mind as the musician. So a critic will often say a musician is slipping.
Nat King Cole

Musician jokes are a kind of joke that usually have to do with how much money someone makes. Musicians are always starving, so they're really mean to each other about who makes what.
Jackson Browne

'Musician' is not a very respected title. I'm not a musician.
Lydia Lunch

My dad was a musician and I traveled around with him, so it was something that I knew.
Taryn Manning

My dad was a musician, it was just what he did, like another guy's dad drives a meat truck. Our house was normal. We weren't taken with the fact our dad was a musician.
Branford Marsalis

My father taught me to read music and play the piano-but not well, even though people have said that I'm a natural musician.
Ethel Merman

My father was a classical musician and my mother was a writer.
John Sebastian

My grandfather was not a musician but he was an artist - a painter, a decorative painter.
Gyorgy Ligeti

My intention when I came into this industry was to be a musician, not necessarily a recording artist, just a musician in general. And that's the reason I went to college and got my degree, which has been great for me. It's helped me a lot with my career.
Jon Secada

My musical background is like almost every non classical musician in the world. One day a special record was heard and that was it. I was hooked, started trying to play various instruments and was off to bar land to become a rock star. What else?
Kevin Johnson

My parents had a pub and each Sunday there was an accordionist. They have told me that when I was in my cradle, I already was imitating the gestures of the musician.
Toots Thielemans

Neil's effect on the band was immediate and very fulfilling. He adds a certain edge to the sound and, of course, he is an incredible musician. We became a better band because of the inclusion of Neil Young.
Graham Nash

No one else in our family was a professional musician so this took an enormous leap of faith on their part.
Tony Visconti

No, I've heard over the years that it's nice for them to see somebody who's like, you know, a well-known successful musician who's Asian. I've heard it from a few musicians, too.
James Iha

Nobody really thought I was going to make it, because I was a musician. I really wasn't a singer.
Bobby Vinton

Not everyone deserves to be a musician, you get lucky enough to be one.
Joshua Homme

Of course, I would be depressed sometimes, and my Mom would be worried about me because I would just sleep to escape. Cause I was so scared of being a musician or artist, or whatever you want to call it.
Chantal Kreviazuk

One thing, when you're an actor, you finish something and then you have to worry about what the next gig is. When you're a musician, you can always write your own stuff, and I'm working on new stuff for a new album right now.
