I've never believed that pop music is escapist trash. There's always a darkness in it even amidst great pop music.

For whatever reason not all people are born with the particular gift of being able to express ourselves through music. And believe me it is a gift.

I believe it is in my nature to dance by virtue of the beat of my heart the pulse of my blood and the music in my mind.

I'm prepared to spend the rest of my life playing clubs if that means I'm playing music that I believe in.

I believe that music is another form of news. Music is another form of journalism to me so I have to cover all the areas with my album.

It's not just the 'Grammys' that I've pulled out of. I also pulled out of the English awards as well. The reason that I wanted to pull out was because I believe very much that the music industry as a whole is mainly concerned with material success.

I believe music should reflect yourself in some way and not just yourself at the given time. I feel that when you die or when you're going someone's supposed to listen to that music and know everything about you. And I just try to get that across.

You can't give up something you really believe in for financial reasons. If you die by the roadside - so be it. But at least you know you've tried. Ten minutes in the music scene was the equal of one hundred years outside of it.

I believe that music is a force in itself. It is there and it needs an outlet a medium. In a way we are just the medium.

With more than 67 percent of the Nation's freight moving on highways economists believe that our ability to compete internationally is tied to the quality of our infrastructure.
