I think there are unseen powers who don't want pop music to be anything other than glorified Madonnas.

I think that is what film and art and music do they can work as a map of sorts for your feelings.

I find that it isn't wise to attempt to judge people on their public persona and even on the music they make. Because I've met so many people whose music I cannot stand and they're very nice. At the same time I've met people whose music I've loved and they're not the person you've invested all this emotion in.

Pop music has progressed.

I can sing very comfortably from my vantage point because a lot of the music was about a loss of innocence there's innocence contained in you but there's also innocence in the process of being lost.

I've never intended to be controversial but it's very easy to be controversial in pop music because nobody ever is.

Our music's kind of about taking something ugly and making it beautiful.

I get caught up in my bubble of reading writing or music.

I don't like rap music at all. I don't think it's music. It's just a beat and rapping.

I don't care what people say. My music's my music.

You know I used to listen to music a lot more.

I still absolutely love 'The Sound of Music' and anything with Julie Andrews in it.

I really like all music but mostly Country older R&B and the good classic rock.

Country music is about new love and it's about old love.

I try to just make music that I love and if I believe in it that's all that matters.

I don't actually have a lot of discipline. I've worked hard at music. But I feel like you know I felt like kind of natural at it. I always had a knack for it.

I just want to make my music and I want it to stand on its own.

Maybe I'm genetically more inclined to music - but the music I make is so far removed from Indian classical music. I grew up in Texas!

I didn't think it was fair to my music to label me as the daughter of somebody - I didn't think it described me very well and I didn't think it had anything to do with my music.

I genuinely don't feel that anything that's been written or said about me has overshadowed my music and that's the most important thing as far as I'm concerned.

I love slow music.

I'm always going to do that - record and make music.

I just want to keep making music recording and trying different things. I don't want to do the same thing all the time.

We're real people and we're a band that's been playing on the scene for a long time. We've made a lot of friends and one enemy we've always had was the NME. They've always basically slated us and they've basically never ever written about the music.
