Toward the later days of Sabbath, instead of going in and knocking out what songs we did in rehearsal, we would polish them to death.
Geezer Butler

I wrote songs all my life, where anyone wanted to hear them or not.
Tommy Shaw

I keep a lighter in my back pocket all the time. I'm not a smoker, I just really like certain songs.
Demetri Martin

I don't think about the styles. I write whatever comes out and I use whatever kind of instrumentation works for those songs.
Lenny Kravitz

I hardly ever listen to any of our old stuff now. Once the songs have been recorded and put on to vinyl they become someone else's entertainment, not mine.
Robert Smith

I write most of my own lyrics for my album and I am helping to produce some of the songs as well.
Lindsay Lohan

When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs.
Robert Smith

If any of our songs ever did make it on the top ten, I'd disband the group immediately.
Robert Smith

I could write songs as bad as Wham's if I really felt the urge to, but what's the point?
Robert Smith

My friends gave me the first songs which was the first food in my soul for me.
Nana Mouskouri

In the past, some of the songs that were the most fun, and the most entertaining and rocking, fell by the wayside because I was concerned with what I was going to say and how I was going to say it.
Bruce Springsteen

I translated Beatles songs for my English class.
Christian Lacroix

We look before and after, And pine for what is not; Our sincerest laughter With some pain is fraught; Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.
Percy Bysshe Shelley

With my songs I tried to prove that there is love.
Nana Mouskouri

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

Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.
Percy Bysshe Shelley

When I heard his first songs, Dylan was answering certain questions that I had all my life been asking myself.
Nana Mouskouri

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 doesn't take me long to write songs.
Ben E. King

I was totally involved in Bobby's World from the time we started the idea to sitting with the artists on how he would look, to the script meetings, the music, the lyrics, the songs.
Howie Mandel
