My music must reflect whatever's going on in my mind and my life needs to evolve for me to discover who it is I'm becoming.

Marilyn Monroe never sold a platinum album. And more people know my music than what I look like.

Music is a great natural high and a great natural escape.

Country music is still your grandpa's music but it's also your daughter's music. It's getting bigger and better all the time and I'm glad to be a part of it.

Without a doubt the best way to get to know me is through my music.

The only reason that you do visual is solely for the visual. That's the only reason. It doesn't sell your music for you.

Singing is a way of releasing an emotion that you sometimes can't portray when you're acting. And music moves your soul so music is the source of the most intense emotions you can feel.

Music is part of the life of fashion too.

What I like about music is the songs you can remember the lines of in a single second.

Everything we release with Tool is inspired by our music.

There's something about music that encourages people to want to know more about the person that made it and where it was recorded what year it was done what they were listening to and all this kind of stuff. There's something that invites all this obsessive behavior.

Ninety percent of all music is always crap and when too many people decide they're going to have guitar bands then ninety percent of them are going to be crap. It's just a given law.

I supply the music for Vampires which is a new series that's coming out.

So there's no guarantee if you like the music you will empathize with the culture and the people who made it. It doesn't necessarily happen. I think it can but it doesn't necessarily happen. Which is kind of a shame.

I think I'm a music fan before anything else.

The imminent demise of the large record companies as gatekeepers of the world's popular music is a good thing for the most part.

There's more good music being made now than ever before.

I've rarely seen video screens used well in a music concert.

We tend to mistake music for the physical object.

I'm not suggesting people abandon musical instruments and start playing their cars and apartments but I do think the reign of music as a commodity made only by professionals might be winding down.

Even from a listening end now I'm still completely a fan of music.

People are already finding ways to make their music and play it in front of people and have a life in music I guess and I think that's pretty much all you can ask.

We don't make music - it makes us.

The making of music is profoundly affected by the market.
