- People always accuse me of being motivational in a way, like it was a bad thing, but that's just how I was raised. My mom raised me in a positive environment, with lots of love in my heart, and that reflects in my music.
- Lenny Kravitz on Music
- People always try to find my agenda, but I don't really have one. It's safe to say that I make pop, but I think that I'm doing important music, too. I've just always done what I wanted to do.
- Ellie Goulding on Music
- People are already finding ways to make their music and play it in front of people and have a life in music, I guess, and I think that's pretty much all you can ask.
- David Byrne on Music
- People are going deaf because music is played louder and louder, but because they're going deaf, it has to be played louder still.
- Milan Kundera on Music
- People do dismiss ambient music, don't they? They call it 'easy listening,' as if to suggest that it should be hard to listen to.
- People haven't always been there for me, but music always has.
- Taylor Swift on Music
- People listen to music the way they want to listen to music.
- People often complain that music is too ambiguous, that what they should think when they hear it is so unclear, whereas everyone understands words. With me, it is exactly the opposite, and not only with regard to an entire speech but also with individual words.
- Felix Mendelssohn on Music
- People think I take some sort of masochistic pleasure out of putting out music that's gonna be unpopular.
- Billy Corgan on Music
- People think our music's very aggressive or angry or whatever, and it's just the opposite, really... I like laughing. And I like being really calm before a show, and smiley.
- Serj Tankian on Music
- People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. They are still being passed around - the music and the ideas.
- People who make music together cannot be enemies, at least while the music lasts.
- Paul Hindemith on Music
- Perhaps when music has been shouting for so long, a quieter voice seems attractive.
- Personally, I just think rap music is the best thing out there, period. If you look at my deck in my car radio, you're always going to find a hip-hop tape that's all I buy, that's all I live, that's all I listen to, that's all I love.
- Philosophy is the highest music.
- Placebo is music for outsiders, by outsiders and our gigs are like conventions of outcasts, which is cool.
- Brian Molko on Music
- Please write music like Wagner, only louder.
- Samuel Goldwyn on Music
- Poetry fettered, fetters the human race. Nations are destroyed or flourish in proportion as their poetry, painting, and music are destroyed or flourish.
- William Blake on Music
- Pop changes week to week, month to month. But great music is like literature.
- Ravi Shankar on Music
- Pop is a little bit theatrical. That's the whole vibe. That's the point - is that it's great music, great melodies, great hooks. But, on top of it, it's a presentation. There's a showmanship about it. And that's why I wanted to be a pop star.
- Adam Lambert on Music
- Pop is actually my least favorite kind of music, because it lacks real depth.
- Christina Aguilera on Music
- Pop music has progressed.
- Steven Patrick Morrissey on Music
- Pop music is aspirin and the blues are vitamins.
- Peter Tork on Music
- Pop music is not a threatening style of music.
- Pop music will never be low brow.
- Pop stardom is not very compelling. I'm much more interested in a relationship between performer and audience that is of equals. I came up through folk music, and there's no pomp and circumstance to the performance. There's no, like, 'I'll be the rock star, you be the adulating fan.'
- Ani DiFranco on Music
- Popular music formed the soundtrack of my life.
- Martin Scorsese on Music
- Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a lifestyle.
- Billie Joe Armstrong on Music
- Put you energy into music. If it fails you, you can become an accountant or a dentist. And then if you become a dentist or an accountant, it's too late to become a musician afterwards.
- Peter Tork on Music
