I love music and I love musicians. I separate them. I'm a big fan of Lily Allen's music, but I'm not a fan of her personality. I differentiate the two.
I'm having fun just being a musician as well as an artist at this point.
I just consider myself lucky that I've been a musician this long and not had to find another job.
Musicians have made incredible contributions to the conservation and environmental movement and continue to do so, more than ever.
Jay Ashby is simply a great musician!
I always thought that pop groups were going to be made up in the 21st century. It wouldn't be four musicians, as such. Especially in the online world, with the worlds that are opening up.
My dad, bless him, was a musician. And his dad had thought that his music was rubbish.
I read an interview with a Japanese freestyle jazz musician once, and he said something like, "Everything I'm going to tell you is not going to be true." He's not saying, "I'm trying to lie to you." But he's kind of saying that you can never say what something really is.
You saw a lot of guys, especially in the early '90s, whose acts were a pitch for a sitcom. A lot of them were very funny, but there's nothing worse than watching comedians or musicians who are up there and are doing something they're not interested in.
I'm not really a musician. I'm a performer and I love rock 'n' roll.
Everybody always wants to meet musicians. You can go to any random bar around the world and be like, "I'm a musician," and they'll have something to say to you. It's kind of this weird passport where you can go around and as soon as you say you're a musician, you're welcome.
I met Gary (Burton) at the Wichita Jazz Festival when I was 18 -- he was one of my favorite musicians and I got to play a few tunes with him there. Shortly after that, I joined his band, which was the equivalent of joining the Beatles for me! He was, and still is, one of the greatest musicians I have ever been lucky enough to be around.
The Unity Band project has been life-changing for me. I have led many groups of talented musicians, but this is unlike anything else.
What I look for in musicians is a sense of infinity
That's one of the things about being married to a couple of musicians, I have got great iPods. That's what I was left with -- an iPod each.
The Ramones couldn't play in my key. They couldn't switch keys, so Ed Stasium literally had to play all the instruments for my version of "Rock 'N' Roll High School," and I always thought that was so weird, because it's not the Ramones playing. It's the producer, who happened to just be a musician and could play everything.
Musicians tell me, if what I'm doing is right, they should never have gone to school.
I don't really live like a musician myself. I think music is just something that I do, but I'd like to be doing lots of other things. I like to cure all kinds of illness.
I have learned that collaboration are everything to me. Music is a social thing. If there are no ears to hear it, it has no value. I have really loved getting input from other great musicians- like recording strings with my family or making weird synth sounds with tore nissen.
Ellington is a writer and arranger, as well as a musician and leader. He does movie sound tracks.
I'm a musician because I love it and it's supposed to be fun.
I love film, and I would love to be a part of something that people universally love as a piece of film. Sure. Of course I would. And I would love to take acting lessons, and see that side of it someday. But I'm a musician.
I've never understood musicians who don't enjoy doing promotional interviews. I just can't believe it. I always think, 'Your life must have been so brilliant before you were in a band.'
I'm going to get drunk and insult as many musicians from the 80's as is humanly possible.
As for style, there is something about the way musicians dress-they seem to be able to create their own world within their fashion alone.
