They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus That means guns, sex, lies, video tapes But if I talk about God my record won't get played Huh?
Kanye West
I am always writing a potpourri of music. I want to give the world escapism through the wonder of great music and to reach the masses.
Michael Jackson
Which is more musical, a truck passing by a factory or a truck passing by a music school? Are the people inside the school musical and the ones outside unmusical?
John Milton Cage Jr.
Until I die there will be sounds. And they will continue following my death. One need not fear about the future of music.
John Milton Cage Jr.
You can just climb on top of me and ride me like this beat.
Wiz Khalifa
Music without emotion is like an empty shell. Technique is, of course, essential, but the emphasis should be on bhava or emotional expression. For this, the vocalist has to make a deep and thought study of the nava-rasas. Classical musicians generally ignore this aspect and pay no attention to rasa-siddhant. That is why our shastriya sangeet fails to appeal to listeners who always prefer music which appeals to the heart, rather than the intellect.

Jimi Hendrix once said, 'You will never hear surf music again.' Well, tonight, you will hear 'serf' music again -- S-E-R-F music.
Jello Biafra
People haven't always been there for me but music always has.
Taylor Swift
I really thought I could give it up... But I really love music, and having a creative outlet is really the best thing you can do for yourself.
Edie Brickell
I think it speaks to our basic fundamental feelings, you know. Of emotions, of love, of breakup, of love and hate and death and dying, mama, apple pie, and the whole thing. It covers a lot of territory, country music does.
John R. Cash
There were so many times I thought, "I'll have the album finished this year, definitely, we'll get it out this year." Then there were a couple of years where I thought, "I'm never gonna do this." If I could make albums quicker, I'd be on a roll wouldn't I? Everything just seems to take so much time. I don't know why. Time... evaporates.
Kate Bush
Music will always find its way to us, with or without business, politics, religion, or any other bullshit attached. Music survives everything, and like God, it is always present. It needs no help, and suffers no hindrance.
Eric Clapton
The music reached us. Clumsily, stumbling over our own roots, rustling our leaves in answer, we moved, we followed.
Denise Levertov
To me, music was about being accepted and escaping from this crummy existence.
