You can never stop discovering music.

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

I always knew I'd be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn't know if I'd be successful at it but I knew I'd be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store. Maybe even play in a band. I never got into this to be a star.

The principle of the endless melody is the perpetual becoming of a music that never had any reason for starting any more than it has any reason for ending.

I don't listen to a lot of new stuff. I just like the old stuff. It's all quite dramatic and atmospheric. You'd have an entire story in song. I never listen to like white music - I couldn't sing you a Zeppelin or Floyd song.

I've never had a very quiet voice. I tried in choir to make it smaller and it just didn't work out. And I listened to a lot of soul music when I was growing up on my own accord. But I was mostly into Mama Cass and Gladys Knight and they all had big voices too just different than mine.

When people hear good music it makes them homesick for something they never had and never will have.

The great moments of rock 'n' roll were never off in some corner of the music world in a self-constructed ghetto.

Nature's music is never over her silences are pauses not conclusions.

I think that a song when it works never mind a piece of long form music even a song is something that speaks to itself but has a language all of its own ideally.
