Gospel music always relaxes me and calms my nerves.

Making music has always had a therapeutic effect on me.

Music has always taken me to another plane of existence.

People haven't always been there for me, but music always has.

The creative process of composing music has always fascinated me.

Music has an intrinsic meaning, which has always been mysterious to me.

It's not a popularity contest to me. It should always be about the music.

It always helps me connect with characters, to think about what music they respond to.

I bring my ukulele everywhere I go, play a little music in the park, always have it with me.

You can always hear me breathing during my verses, but that breathing becomes part of the music.

My goal was always to be involved in music that would outlive me. And maybe that's actually happening.

It is jazz music that called me to be a musician and I have always sang the songs that moved me the most.

Musicians always respected me because they knew I'm a huge music lover and I know what I'm talking about.

I'm always gonna have the darker edgy music; it is always in my pocket because it comes so naturally to me.

My whole thing is that I make music regardless. Regardless of everything around me, I'll always make music.

I kind of think that music in general is a sacred thing, and that's what music has kind of always been for me.

Music's the one thing I try not to analyze. I don't want to destroy the magic that has always been there for me.

Ask me my influences, I always talk about Bjork and Beck because they're independent voices in the music industry.

'Elle' is such an iconic magazine, and the intersection of fashion and music has always been something that fascinates me.

Around me, there's always music playing. It just calms me down; it soothes me. It helps me write. It helps me with my mood.

I kind of always wanted my own music to just sound like, like me, I suppose, like if I was music it would be the music I make, I think.

Yeah, I've always wondered what it would be like to make music that's not nostalgic at all, and it's really, really hard for me to imagine.

The computer has always been this ominous, scary thing that came into music, for me, in the early '90s, right when I first started playing music.

Music is definitely cheaper and more immediate. But part of the draw of film to me is the multidisciplinary aspect. I always enjoyed film writing.

Edgy' music has always formed the cornerstone to any teenage rebellion. Most indulge in it precisely because adults like me don't like them doing so.

I've always loved rock music. I've always loved stuff like the Specials and the Breeders and things like that. But it was hip-hop that really got me into music.

Even though I grew up playing folk music - and surf music, originally - I was listening to Motown and Stax on the radio as well. That music always resonated with me.

I always write with music. It takes me a while to figure out the right piece of music for what I'm working on. Once I figure it out, that's the only thing I'll play.

My task is to tell a story with the music. I always like to have themes in terms of characters or plots, and things that can tell a story always interest me the most.

I always felt that the music sells by itself. The music has always been the successful aspect on my career, and that means that, to me, I can always still stay very focused on music.

Me, who's educated classically, I went toward rock music 'cause it was sort of a natural evolution from where I was playing with my brother. But I was always drawn back into classical music.

I like all kinds of music. On my playlist at the minute is Professor Green, Tinie Tempah, Maroon 5, Stereophonics, Jay-Z, Drake, and lots more. I always listen to music when I'm in the gym; it helps me to get pumped up.

A lot of musicians talk about how they were into music from the start; they always wanted to be musicians. It wasn't like that for me. I didn't think of it as a job or a career - it was just something that was constant.

I've always argued that all Tame Impala melodies are pure pop. It's just that 'Lonerism,' for example, is a completely rumbling, fuzzed out psychedelic rock album. But for me, it was just pop music produced the way that I like to produce it.

I think that's one of the things that has always put me in kind of an odd niche. It's that all of my understanding of orchestral music is via film, not via classical music like it's supposed to be. To me it's the same, it doesn't make any difference.

With seven boys and one sister, there was always a lot of music in the house. A few of my brothers were playing instruments, so it was from hearing that, coupled with discovering early rock, which triggered me to pick up a guitar and try to pick out the notes.

When I sit down to make music, I try to enter a flow; I always open a blank session and just make something that I feel like making. Only after a piece of music is done does my frontal cortex allow me to organize what might be trying to come out of my subconscious.

I'm suspicious of the idea of categories in music and this idea of things being in boxes. To me, that seems unnatural. I write the music that somebody with my biography would write, and the thing that's always driven me is an enthusiasm for the material. I sort of follow the notes to where they want to go.

I always think of albums as the format. I think it's perfect. I don't think you can tamper with that. It's not just sound, the analog, which is so much richer. It's the format. You're constrained by just 45 minutes, and it's perfect to me. I don't want to listen to any more than, and I live and breathe music.

I had always wanted to make music on a big scale but never knew how it was going happen - until I saw a band in Oslo called Bridges. I was stunned. They had everything. The only thing they didn't have was me. I knew I needed to join, not for my own sake but for the band's. I knew I was a necessary ingredient.
