I started off as a studio pianist in Hollywood.
Skitch Henderson

I think the challenges for me was to go into the studio with these incredible jazz players and come up to their level of excellence. That's always a challenge.
Rita Coolidge

Normally, you go into the recording studio, make a record and then take it on the road and you think... wow... I could have done THIS to it, or something.
Brian Setzer

There's something really nice about not sitting separate from the crew in some massive trailer away from the studio. To actually be there with them, it's more of a creative process.
Neve Campbell

When you do a movie in the studio system, there's a committee. A committee of six or seven people you answer to. There's two or three producers, a studio executive and one or two people above that studio executive.
Thomas Lennon

I used to paint landscapes without any people in them but now I paint people who happen to be in a particular place. They might be outside a pub, or on a beach or in a studio. They might have clothes on or they might not.
Peter Wright

I'm not a guy to go in the studio and spend months, let alone years, like some people do. I cannot even be in the studio for a month, it will drive me nuts.
Neal Schon

I spent two weeks prancing around a studio in Queens in my underwear with nine other guys. They were long days. But what the hell, it was Calvin Klein.
Michael Bergin

I guess I'll just slip into the studio after the next time with the Muses, and then just keel over and die.
Kristin Hersh

If we were truly in the studio making a record, it would have been more time consuming, and certainly I would have been more involved in the writing process.

A lot of actors said they hated the studio system, but I loved it. It was like a college; it was a great place to learn.
Richard Widmark

I prefer playing in the studio because you have much more control over things.
Michael Schenker

It was rehearsing in the studio, at which point they were setting up the sound, and once we'd got the thing together they'd actually record it, without us knowing sometimes!
Noel Redding

I feel like I'm stepping into a place of spiritual contemplation every time I enter a studio; it's always had a certain magic to me that has never worn off with familiarity.
David Knopfler

Chris is the engineer down at the studio where we do these things. And he's just such an integral part and he has such a marvelous ear. Also it turns out, we didn't know, but he's a pretty good fiddle player.
Guy Clark

I live in a very small town and now that I've closed down my studio, I'm working at home.
Sergio Aragones

Usually, in the studio, on this sort of thing... you just go out and have a play over it, and see what comes, and it's usually - mostly - the first take that's the best one, and you find yourself repeating yourself thereafter.
David Gilmour

Berry Gordy turned his house into a studio and discovered over 30 acts in the city. And we're famous all over the world.

Schaeffer gave me permission to work in the studio with a technician, but I've never worked with him.
Karlheinz Stockhausen

My favorite is still the one that I started off with, which is a Les Paul Standard. I've played that at every gig I've ever had. And that's my starting point in the studio.
