For me, a paragraph in a novel is a bit like a line in a poem. It has its own shape, its own music, its own integrity.
When I pull up to music videos, I’m like, ‘I’ve been doing 11-hour days since I was eight-years-old, so I’m not tripping.’
Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous.
I feel like music can affect you in so many ways. When you hear a song with a happy melody, it can change your mood; it can change your day.
I like to hang out with my friends. I love music. I like to go to the movies. I like to eat. I like to cook.
Together, we can nurture the talent of the future and bring the empowering force of music and the arts to a new generation.
Music has no limits, borders or ages.
I lose myself in music because I can’t be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.
Clothes are like a good meal, a good movie, great pieces of music.
Old music used to mean something. There is none of that today.
Music is the only thing I’ve ever known that doesn’t have any rules at all.
My brother, a businessman, is the main cook in his home and my sister teaches cookery. Good food and good music were the mainstays of my childhood.
You can be technically strong, and focus all your efforts on elements like casting, music, cinematography and sets, but they are all just add ons. End of the day, filmmaking is really about how well you tell a story.
Every man’s work, whether it be literature, or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself.
Computers and electronic music are not the opposite of the warm human music. It’s exactly the same.
There’s not a day goes by that I don’t appreciate the freedom that I have to make music and tour and spend time with my family.
You cannot go wrong by learning classical music because it trains the ear.
I heard someone from the music business saying they are no longer looking for talent, they want people with a certain look and a willingness to cooperate.
Good soul music should make you feel something in your heart, in your body, and in your spirit. That’s what I try to do both in the studio and on stage.
Everybody has their favorite sad songs. That’s part of what I love so much about country music. Country music is never afraid to go with a sad song.
One thing I am certain of is that, if I have done anything good in music, it was, first, because of my father, and second, because of my wife.
I enjoy being happy every day, and hopefully you can hear my happiness in my music. Life is beautiful.
Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.
No matter where I’m at in life, whether I’m in the music industry, rich, poor, everybody need love in their life. Gangsta or not, everybody need love in their life. You can’t act too hard about that.
Some days, I’ll be very down and out, but you won’t be able to tell, really, because I don’t express that side of myself on social media. That’s the side of myself that I express through music.
