For in the true nature of things if we rightly consider every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.

The considerations of a corporation especially now have nothing to do with art or music.

I wanted to get rid of the element that had been considered essential in pop music: the voice.

I've studied various schools of thought... I acknowledge that some Muslims consider music prohibited but I've found a lot of evidence from the life of the Prophet to show that he allowed certainly but even encouraged music at certain times.

I would say that although my music may be or may have been part of the cultural background fabric of the gay community I consider myself an outsider who belongs everywhere and nowhere... Being a human being is what truly counts. That's where you'll find me.

I'm clearly most well known for my music. Eventually ultimately I'll be writing books. I'm still writing articles now. I just consider myself a writer.

I like pop music. I consider rock 'n' roll to be a branch of pop music.

Although I am basically self taught I consider Debussy my teacher - the most important elements are colour light and shadow.

I knew I had to get out of Boston and stop making movies there at least for one movie otherwise no one would ever consider me for a movie that took place south of Providence.

Well Toronto I consider to be the birthplace of my films. I've made three films and this is the third one to premiere here in the same theater on the same day at the same time - they are my audience. They're the people that I think about while I'm writing directing and editing. I specifically make movies for them.
