Ron Fournier

Life, Change, Work

My father used to sing to me in my mother's womb. I think I can name about any tune in two beats.
Yancy Butler

Mother, Father, Two

With Barack Obama as president and the super-happening Michelle Obama as First Lady, you would think a new tone, a new tune, a kicky new jazzitude, would have entered Washington discourse, but it remains a landlocked island unto itself, held captive by its tribal fevers.
James Wolcott

President, Lady, Washington

Erica Jong

Dance, Wonderful, Rhythm

Bjork

Life, Music, Time

I've watched and learnt from DJs and remixers and paid way more attention to how I want my voice to sound. Before, as long as it was loud and in tune it was fine. I've discovered the difference made by various microphones and effects, so each track has a different vocal sound, my voice is woven into everything and it's above everything.
Ellie Goulding

Long, Everything, Different

The audiences are there as a result of my history with the band but also as a result of my being able to reach people with a tune.
Bruce Springsteen

History, Able, Result

It's not like we have a formula, but I think one of the reasons this show has survived is that it has a big heart at its center. Other cartoon shows have people crap on each other and make racist jokes. But I don't think people tune in for that. I just don't think a show lasts for 10 years without a heart.
Trey Parker

Heart, Big, Show

Government does not have a revenue problem; government has a spending problem. Government does not have a revenue problem; government has a priority problem. It is time that we begin to fine tune our focus and decide what the priority of government ought to be.
Marsha Blackburn

Time, Government, Focus

I'm a huge fan of Canadian rock-and-roll. When I was growing up, Rush came out with a record called Hemispheres, and I must have listened to that record for two years straight. Even when I was asleep I had it on. So, yeah, whenever I hear a Rush tune, the first thing I think of is Toronto.
Kiefer Sutherland

Two, Growing, Hear

Dancing for the length of time that I did, it centered me in such a way to be really in tune with my body, and I just feel like I'm physically able to do things because of my ballet background. Without ballet, I don't think I'd look graceful at all on screen.
Zoe Saldana

Time, Able, Body

While many people are trying to be in tune with infinite, what they really are is in tune with the indefinite.
Eric Butterworth

Jane Goodall

Politics, Time, Political

Ritchie Blackmore

Art, Playing, Fender

I'd rather play a tune on a horn, but I've always felt that I didn't want to train myself. Because when you get a train, you've got to have an engine and a caboose. I think it's better to train the caboose. You train yourself, you strain yourself.
Don Van Vliet

Yourself, Play, Rather

'Spectrum' is in part a disco song. But we play it hard, and it's a real euphoric, wailing tune. It's kind of like a total house anthem, in a way, but it seems to be going down really well. We've got all the grunge kids going mad for disco house raves.
Florence Welch

Real, Hard, Down

'Dog Days' was recorded with pens and the wall, and half a stolen drum kit that was out of tune, in what was basically a cupboard. The only instrument I could really play was my voice, so we just layered everything a hundred times. It was enthusiasm over skill.
Florence Welch

Everything, Play, Times

I have got instincts that, I think, are very much in tune with people's very keen sense to see something different. I did not dream of being in politics since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. I was not involved in student politics, or not in that partisan way.
Nick Clegg

Politics, Different, Sense

I try not to tune in to politics until it's two or three months before the election. Till then, it's like watching preseason football.
Trey Parker

Politics, Football, Two

Science, Around, Reason

Time, Through, Made

Dan Stevens

Time, Live, Awesome

Every night, half an hour before curtain up, the bells of St. Malachy's, the Actors' Chapel on New York's 49th Street, peal the tune of 'There's No Business Like Show Business.' If you walk the streets of the theatre district before a show and see the vast, enthusiastic lines it sounds like a calling: there is certainly no place like Broadway.
Dan Stevens

Business, Night, Before
