As a rule my focus is on classical music but I love jazz. I love everything actually.

I was lucky enough to be the lady that was asked to be Maria in the Sound Of Music and that film was fortunate enough to be huge hit. The same with Mary Poppins. I got terribly lucky in that respect.

I want my music to do the explaining.

I just do what I do. I like to make music.

I listen to music for emotion and I get zero emotion from rap.

If not for music I would probably be a very frustrated scientist. It's one way to answer the question 'What is the meaning of life?' I feel music answers it better.

I'm not trying to clock scores in this lifetime it's just that things are better now than they were like five ten years ago. Music has gotten a lot better. There's a lot of people who are committed to - soulfully.

I think that a song when it works never mind a piece of long form music even a song is something that speaks to itself but has a language all of its own ideally.

A lot of music is mathematics. It's balance.

Music must take rank as the highest of the fine arts - as the one which more than any other ministers to the human spirit.

For me music and life are all about style.

Do I listen to pop music because I'm miserable or am I miserable because listen to pop music?

People are going deaf because music is played louder and louder but because they're going deaf it has to be played louder still.

I think the world is ready for some rock 'n' roll. Some real time guys that play their own instruments write their own songs and sing the music and have a good time doing it.

Music is really something that makes people whole.

Every so often I feel I should graduate to classical music properly. But the truth is I'm more likely to listen to rock music.

Music never dies. Do we really need another Madonna tour? Does she have to compete with women performers 25 years her junior?

Music was invented to confirm human loneliness.

Music is the career I'm lucky enough to get paid for but I have other desires and passions.

Rock 'n' roll music is what gets me off.

I think people need to have fun with whatever they're doing - makeup their clothes music live shows - anything you don't need to take too seriously don't take too seriously.

Beethoven can write music thank God but he can do nothing else on earth.

All my concerts had no sounds in them they were completely silent. People had to make up their own music in their minds!

I have terrible hearing trouble. I have unwittingly helped to invent and refine a type of music that makes its principal proponents deaf.
