Why do musicians give so much time to charitable causes? The most humanitarian cause that we can give our time to is the creation and performance of music itself.

Stone walls confine a tinker cold iron binds a witch but a musician's music can never be fettered for it lives first in her heart and mind.

Musicians don't retire they stop when there's no more music in them.

I like having my hair and face done but I'm not going to lose weight because someone tells me to. I make music to be a musician not to be on the cover of Playboy.

A musician must make music an artist must paint a poet must write if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.

The wise musicians are those who play what they can master.

I wouldn't like to be in movies. Movie people are strange. They live a different life than musicians do.

I think I turned to writing really just to wake up in the morning and be a musician and to have something to do and feel like a musician every day even if I wasn't working.

I became a musician so I wouldn't have to get up at 6 in the morning.

I'm very unstable there's no stability in a musician's life at all. You live on a bus or on the road hand to mouth and you don't know where your money's coming from.
