People forget how great country music is, and we haven't.

My only interest is in sharing great music with more and more people.

People tell us they have been inspired by our music to do great things.

I'm playing great music with great people and so there's no reason to stop.

We think accolades are nice, awards are great, but we make music for the people.

I really like streaming services. It's a great way for people to find your music.

But shows like 'The X Factor' are a great showcase but people are not taking it for real music.

That's kind of the mission statement for the label: to try to do great music that touches people's hearts.

Boy bands should be exploded from a great height. They're just pretty people singing music written by others.

That's one of the great things about Los Angeles, that people just play music, and it's all very welcoming and welcomed.

Music changes every year, but some people are great at riding waves and then they're doing something different next year.

You either have fans who stick with you, or they don't. It comes down to making music that people connect with and great fans.

'The X Factor' is great entertainment, but it doesn't prepare people for getting chewed up and spat out by the music industry.

People think jazz music is all standards and the Great American Songbook. But it's really about the sensibility, the feel you bring to the music.

The Winans have been some of my favorite people, and Marvin certainly has a real anointing when he preaches and sings; he's a great interpreter of my music.

With other people, you're always swapping music. Somebody is always listening to something you've never heard. It's a great way to hear all sorts of new things.

In Germany, people feel like they own classical music, that it is somehow theirs. Over there, everyone still learns to play, and the great composers don't seem alien.

I have been hearing from people that everyone is loving my music, which is a great feeling. To be honest, it's overwhelming... The female following on Twitter is insane.

Entertainment isn't just based on the very structured syndrome of European popular music, and it's great that there are so many thousands of people who are of the same opinion.

If people want to watch music videos you can go to Youtube. But it would be great if there was still music on TV that people could check out and be visually excited by an artist.

Describing Woodstock as the 'big bang,' I think that's a great way to describe it, because the important thing about it wasn't how many people were there or that it was a lot of truly wonderful music that got played.

The '80s don't seem to have gone away. Most weekends in the summer we're off doing a festival in front of 10,000 or 15,000 people with a load of other '80s acts. It was just such a great era for music, for individuals and characters. It just had a spirit.

When you do a lyric for 'April in Paris,' those who have heard it before can hear it in a different way now. It can add perspective to a great piece of music that does not have a lyric and may be inaccessible to lot of ears because people don't deal with complex music very well.

I think that this television medium, or whatever we call it now, is a really great frontier to turn people onto music - to new music or old music. It's a great platform where you've got people's ears, and you can throw something at them. I like to use it to the fullest that I can.

There were so many people after that first 'Colbert Report' interview that were impressed by the synergy we had during the interview. People everywhere we'd go would say, 'You should be the bandleader; it would be great for jazz. It would be great for the music.' But I was completely against it.

One of my favorite artists is Tom Waits, whom most people think of as a wonderful singer-songwriter and a great poet. I certainly think of him that way, but I also know him as a terrific actor. You know, that persona that he puts on when he's doing his music comes from being an actor, figuring out a persona.

I really want to do the unexpected, and I think that's what I did when I executed 'Long.Live.A$AP.' I wanted people to really see the message and that I'm an artist who not only has the capability of rapping, but of composing great music both for people of my generation and for people with different backgrounds.
