Musical Quotes

Music, to me, was - is - representative of everything I like most in life. It’s beautiful and fun, but very rigorous. If you wanted to be good you had to work like crazy. It was a real relationship between effort and reward. My musical life experiences were just as important to me, in terms of forming my development, as my political experiences or my academic life Picture Quote #1

I combine aspects of many styles of music and create my own musical forms by way of electronic instruments Picture Quote #1

I would say my greatest musical influences have been Ella Fitzgerald and Mary J. Blige Picture Quote #1

It’s like my parents’ musical tastes are the mother and father of my music. It’s their fault for making me so emotional and in tune with my emotions! Picture Quote #1

The fact is that great musical pieces take and hold the stage because they provide great emotional experiences Picture Quote #1

Music has its own emotional embodiment. It carries an emotion with it. When you associate a lyric with the music, it’s much easier; but when you’re standing there completely dry in front of the camera with no musical background, just a fine-tuned, get-this-emotional-story across, it’s a very, very intense kind of focus Picture Quote #1

My father was placid and easygoing. He owned a small shoe store where I helped out on Saturdays. I think he’d have been pleased if I’d made a career of working in the shoe store. But my mother was ambitious. She encouraged us to read books, and she pushed us toward a musical education Picture Quote #1

I felt like my favorite writers have almost musical hooks in their work, whether it’s poetry or a hook at the end of a chapter that makes you want to read the next one. And I think that my favorite writers definitely have something musical about what they do, in saying something so relatable and universal and so simple Picture Quote #1

Oh, I think country has changed tremendously. I think country has totally changed. Country music when I was a kid was Hank Williams. If you put Hank and Elvis together, there wasn’t that musical difference. But as the Beatles showed up and the English invasion, I think country music got pretty far away from rock n’ roll Picture Quote #1

You begin to see that all of these things are connected: The kind of cuts that mean less environmental protection are also the kind of cuts that mean less musical education for the schools and that also mean more overcrowded schools Picture Quote #1

I believe deeply that jazz is still a very vital music that has much to say, not just to eggheads, or whatever the musical equivalent of an egghead is, but to ordinary people Picture Quote #1

My favorite thing to hear from people is, ‘I left the theater and couldn’t stop thinking about it.’ You want your work to have an impact after they leave the theater. It’s the equivalent of leaving a musical humming a show tune Picture Quote #1

Probably my two biggest musical influences were the Everly Brothers and the Beatles, in chronological order. Both of them have had a very simple-sounding musical style that’s actually quite complex as far as popular songs are concerned Picture Quote #1

I think what made John Lennon so exciting as an artist is that, like Dylan and other musicians with a truly important musical legacy, he had several faces, personas that changed over time as he developed Picture Quote #1

I always love to see singing on television; any form of a musical is exciting to me Picture Quote #1

I just love performing so much, and I threw myself into every musical theater production that was going in my home town and at school. And then, I went to the National Youth Music Theatre, which was really a galvanizing experience for me when I was 17 Picture Quote #1

I was under the false impression that I could sing in high school, so I did a lot of musical stuff. I can’t sing or dance, so that was entertaining for everyone Picture Quote #1

My family was very musical. My brother is an opera singer; my parents both sang Picture Quote #1

Most of the musical film work that I have done has been in this realm of what I think of as real family entertainment Picture Quote #1

The rest of my family are obsessed by ‘The X Factor:’ I’m intrigued by it, although its musical values are far away from mine, like a cup of tea with 400 lumps of sugar in it. There’s something very strange about Simon Cowell’s lips, isn’t there? Picture Quote #1

The south is very focused on family... the musical heritage of Muscle Shoals especially and the bands from the region Picture Quote #1

My mother - who’s from Iowa - owns and runs her own day-care centre, while my father’s a developer. And my musical influences, I think, came from my father’s side of the family Picture Quote #1

I’ve always loved musical theater. It’s a bit of a family tradition Picture Quote #1

Not what you would call a musical family, but my father used to play saxophone, and I discovered many genres of music when I was a child Picture Quote #1

Genetically, I have tons of musical background in my life. My mother’s father was a famous Weimar-era composer, Ernst Toch. My father’s mother was the head of the Vienna Conservatory’s piano department. It all canceled out in my case. I’m completely hopeless in music Picture Quote #1

I’ve created several musical trends, really. That’s not because I’m so far out and fabulous. It’s because most bands have no ideas of their own. They’re so desperate they’ll grab at any old straw Picture Quote #1

It’s like a novelist writing far out things. If it makes a point and makes sense, then people like to read that. But if it’s off in left field and goes over the edge, you lose it. The same with musical talent, I think Picture Quote #1

Frances McDormand is my favorite actor. I don’t know if that’s relevant. But she’s a person who plays people. In other words, not everything has to be an over-the-top Broadway musical to get my attention, but it certainly helps Picture Quote #1

I’m very eclectic in what I like and what I listen to. But my favorite musical ever is The Sound of Music. That was actually one that inspired me to sing Picture Quote #1

My daughter’s favorite musical is ‘Wicked,’ which she has seen hundreds of times - she even worked as an usher at the Pantages so she could see it over and over. Her dream is to play Elphaba Picture Quote #1
