These days, there are many people around the world who listen to the songs that made me infamous and read the books that made me respectable.
Kinky Friedman

I understand why some kid in his bedroom in Wisconsin thinks downloading songs couldn't hurt anyone. True fans will buy the CD or go see the movie after downloading, but to say it doesn't affect anyone - come on.
Rob Zombie

You've got to separate the singer and the songs.
Van Morrison

I don't feel comfortable doing interviews. My profession is music, and writing songs. That's what I do. I like to do it, but I hate to talk about it.
Van Morrison

I write songs. Then, I record them. And, later, maybe I perform them on stage. That's what I do. That's my job. Simple.
Van Morrison

If you're a pop singer, you don't need to evolve. You just get a set together, have some hit songs and play them over and over.
Van Morrison

Singing songs like 'The Man I Love' or 'Porgy' is no more work than sitting down and eating Chinese roast duck, and I love roast duck.
Billie Holiday

In my songs, the sex is all subliminal. It's subliminal, spiritual.
Ziggy Marley

There is nothing in the world of art like the songs mother used to sing.
Billy Sunday

When I write with Maiden, then I write only with the guys in Maiden, we don't do songs from outside people.
Bruce Dickinson

So, it ended up being what you have there, seven songs brand new and ten live songs which is a good mix.
Sebastian Bach

To think that when they come out with these gigantic songs, it's pretty tough to top them, you know.
Sebastian Bach

Every single band in the world has these gigantic songs that people are obsessed with.
Sebastian Bach

But then when he left, I realized that it was harder to write songs and feel spiritually connected to art and music as a band. When he came back I felt it again, instantaneously.
Anthony Kiedis

A Minor is one of my all-time favorite keys to play in. It's a very moody key, and also 'A' is the first letter of my name. It just represents the songs through my eyes.
Alicia Keys

It's not until I hear songs that I've done, that I realize how much of an inspiration music from the '60s and '70s has been.
Alicia Keys

Sing the songs of joy to the Lord, serve the Name of the Lord, and become the servant of His servants.
Guru Nanak

Musically, I always allow myself to jump off of cliffs. At least that's what it feels like to me. Whether that's what it actually sounds like might depend on what the listener brings to the songs.
Tori Amos

I know every Skynyrd and about all Johnny Cash songs.
Kid Rock

I said, other people can write songs, let's see if I can. So the first 400 or 500 wound up on the floor somewhere. Then I wrote one called Melissa.
Gregg Allman
