Also because people like to multitask in a way if you've got a bit of music on in the background and the lyrical content is making you want to listen to it then that would probably put you off the texting you wanted to do. I think people like things that just make that right kind of noise but leave your brain free to do something else.

Music is what our feelings sound like.

I love 70's music.

I always believed in the music we did and that's why it was uncompromising.

I've never believed that pop music is escapist trash. There's always a darkness in it even amidst great pop music.

I like to make music I like rap music. Even if I'm white I support that music. If I want to support it or any other white kid wants to support it more power to them.

I always knew I'd be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn't know if I'd be successful at it but I knew I'd be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store. Maybe even play in a band. I never got into this to be a star.

The way I feel about music is that there is no right and wrong. Only true and false.

But I did go to music really early on even when I was 4 or 5 I was responding to music probably in ways other kids were not.

When all the original blues guys are gone you start to realize that someone has to tend to the tradition. I recognize that I have some responsibility to keep the music alive and it's a pretty honorable position to be in.

Music became a healer for me.

Although they can do it all the time you know they're far better than me on a musically on a theoretical music level. You know they're out of my league.

Very much like that and very much a loner do you know and I didn't fit really into sport or all kind of group activities as a kid I couldn't find a niche. And music was not really part of the kind of village curriculum it would you know.

It's almost charity work what people have done turning other people on to my music.

I scientifically engineer my music to be as accessible as possible.

I don't write poems and put them to music. Just let things flow.

I'm a good music provider and I'm fine with that. I'm a quality music manufacturer.

Hopefully people can see my music is tethered to my brain.

Music is universal too. Even deaf people like to dance love rhythm and can kind of pick it up.

Everywhere I go I buy new music shirts.

Choreography is mentally draining but there's a pleasure in getting into the studio with the dancers and the music.

I love rock-n-roll. I think it's an exciting art form. It's revolutionary. Still revolutionary and it changed people. It changed their hearts. But yeah even rock-n-roll has a lot of rubbish really bad music.

High school music teachers... nobody makes a living off it.

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.
