From the beginning I knew intuitively that if nothing else music was safe and that nobody could tell me anything about it. Music didn't need a middleman whereas all the other things in school needed some kind of explanation.
All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock I don't subscribe to any of that. It's all just music. I mean the heavy metal from the Seventies sounds nothing like the stuff from the Eighties and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the Nineties. Who's to say what is and isn't a certain type of music?
The absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years and nothing is going to be able to stop it. I see absolutely no point in pretending that it's not going to happen. I'm fully confident that copyright for instance will no longer exist in 10 years.
Nothing is capable of being well set to music that is not nonsense.
Nothing pleases me more than to go into a room and come out with a piece of music.
There is nothing stable in the world uproar's your only music.
It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.
Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.
There's nothing like music to relieve the soul and uplift it.
Music is nothing else but wild sounds civilized into time and tune.
