One of the basic things about a string is that it can vibrate in many different shapes or forms which gives music its beauty.

I just wanted to see every single musical I could. The very first one I saw was 'Beauty and the Beast ' the only one I could get tickets for and then 'Les Miserables' and then 'Chicago.'

Grand opera is the most powerful of stage appeals and that almost entirely through the beauty of music.

There's a sadness to the human condition that I think music is good for. It gives a counterpoint to the visual beauty and adds depth to pictures that they wouldn't have if the music wasn't there.

Music art theater. I'm just a big fan of beauty.

Music as many people have said is the universal language. Of course points are made which make you think about things but ultimately it makes you feel. And that's why people remember more songs that have meant something during their life than films. They start to define periods in your life and that's kind of the beauty of it.

But the beauty of Einstein's equations for example is just as real to anyone who's experienced it as the beauty of music. We've learned in the 20th century that the equations that work have inner harmony.

That's the beauty of music. You can take a theme from a Bach sacred chorale and improvise. It doesn't make any difference where the theme comes from the treatment of it can be jazz.

One night I'll be in Los Angeles and it'll be a Latin crowd and then another night I'll go to Fresno and it'll be an all-black crowd. To me that's the beauty of the music.

Through Kurt I saw the beauty of minimalism and the importance of music that's stripped down.

The true beauty of music is that it connects people. It carries a message and we the musicians are the messengers.

Blues and soul and jazz music has so much pain so much beauty of raw emotion and passion.

If you don't die of thirst there are blessings in the desert. You can be pulled into limitlessness which we all yearn for or you can do the beauty of minutiae the scrimshaw of tiny and precise. The sky is your ocean and the crystal silence will uplift you like great gospel music or Neil Young.

I think everybody can agree that you can hear a certain song and it will put you in a certain mood and that's just the beauty of music and I am so inspired by that.

It is cruel you know that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.

In regard to music I just think that it's always best to have an attitude of being a perpetual student and always look to learn something new about music because there's always something new to learn.

The world is full of musicians who can play great and you wouldn't cross the road to see them. It's people who have this indefinable attitude that are the good ones.

Elvis Costello had a brand new bag. He was a musician but he knew all about the attitude part of it.

I think that generally music should be a positive thing I like Bob Marley's attitude: he said that his goal in life was to single handedly fight all the evil in the world with nothing but music and when he went to a place he didn't go to play he went to conquer.

But I do think that we approach music in of itself with a religious attitude.

Certain kinds of speed flow intensity density of attacks density of interaction... Music that concentrates on those qualities is I think easier achieved by free improvisation between people sharing a common attitude a common language.

I'm not a music lover in the sense that I look for something to have on. I've never had that attitude to music.

The Stones are a different kind of group. I realized that when I joined them. It's not really so much their musical ability it's just they have a certain kind of style and attitude which is unique.

Jazz in itself is not struggling. That is the music itself is not struggling... It's the attitude that's in trouble. My plays insist that we should not forget or toss away our history.
