When I think of the love I feel for each member of our family, I sense, to a slight degree, the love that our Heavenly Father bears for His children.
Russell M. NelsonAnd so our mothers and grandmothers have, more often than not anonymously, handed on the creative spark, the seed of the flower they themselves never hoped to see – or like a sealed letter they could not plainly read.
Alice WalkerI believe that my parents did wonderful things for us.
Madeleine AlbrightI put out one album one week, and I’m already worried about the next one. I feel a lot of emotion throughout the course of a day. But not to the point where you need to be worried about me.
Taylor SwiftI do value the respect I get from my contemporaries, but to have Oasis cover my song, to have Puff Daddy cover a song, to have Goldie come along to my gigs – that’s where my ego is at. To have my fellow musicians like what I do, that’s very cool.
David BowieI used to consider the listener. But now I’m in a space where, if I’m not inspired, I can’t really do the music. I can’t feel it.
Kendrick LamarWe knew sports was important to us and our family, but there are priorities in life.Obviously, faith is foremost; how we did in school is important. If we didn’t handle that business then there were no privileges.
Stephen CurryI’m working on my life story. I’m not decided if it’s going to be a musical or a movie with music in it.
Dolly PartonMy songs are like my children – I expect them to support me when I’m old.
Dolly PartonImmigration laws are the only laws that are discussed in terms of how to help people who break them.
Thomas SowellWhen you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?
Khalil GibranI’m half-Irish, half-Dutch, and I was born in Belgium. If I was a dog, I’d be in a hell of a mess!
Audrey HepburnIf you look deep enough you will see music; the heart of nature being everywhere music.
Thomas CarlyleMy purpose is to make exciting music, and I feel like I’ll be doing that for the rest of my life, so there’s no pressure.
The WeekndWhen I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest.
Henry David ThoreauI just have a thing in my brain that when I’m about to do something that’s genuine or authentic, I think of it in song form. I’ll be like, ‚Yo, this is a human emotion that no one talks about.‘
DrakeMy parents are my backbone. Still are. They’re the only group that will support you if you score zero or you score 40.
Kobe BryantAll things considered, there’s nobody better for children than parents.
Jordan PetersonI used to live with my grandmother. I used to wonder why the other kids in school went home with their mothers and fathers. I wanted to be the guy that got married. I wanted to be the guy with the children and the white picket fence. I never had that.
Kevin GatesI refuse to feel guilty. I feel guilty about too much in my life but not about money. I went through periods when I had nothing, so somebody in my family has to get stinkin‘ wealthy.
Jim CarreyI’ve told Billy if I ever caught him cheating, I wouldn’t kill him because I love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are.
Angelina JolieI’ve got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.
Barack ObamaI find in my poetry and prose the rhythms and imagery of the best – I mean, when I’m at my best – of the good Southern black preachers. The lyricism of the spirituals and the directness of gospel songs and the mystery of blues are in my music or in my poetry and prose, or I missed everything.
Maya AngelouI love good, loud speakers.
Brian EnoMy fans love me for me, my beats, my rhymes.
J. ColeUsually, when Nirvana made music, there wasn’t a lot of conversation. We wanted everything to be surreal. We didn’t want to have some contrived composition.
Dave GrohlRemember that before ‚Roe v. Wade‘ was decided, there were four states that allowed abortion in the first trimester if that’s what the woman sought: New York, Hawaii, California, Alaska. Other states were shifting. And people were fighting over this issue in state legislatures.
Ruth Bader GinsburgThe love of the family, the love of one person can heal. It heals the scars left by a larger society. A massive, powerful society.
Maya AngelouI would say that jazz is my own language.
Amy WinehouseThe basis of our partnership strategy and our partnership approach: We build the social technology. They provide the music.
Mark ZuckerbergSpeech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again.
F. Scott FitzgeraldIf you have a family mission statement that clarifies what your purpose is, then you use that as the criterion by which you make the decisions.
Stephen CoveyI love story songs because I’ve always loved books.
Dolly PartonIn a certain way, it’s the sound of the words, the inflection and the way the song is sung and the way it fits the melody and the way the syllables are on the tongue that has as much of the meaning as the actual, literal words.
David ByrneI know I’m talented, but I wasn’t put here to sing. I was put here to be a wife and a mom and look after my family. I love what I do, but it’s not where it begins and ends.
Amy WinehouseImmigrants aren’t the reason wages haven’t gone up enough; those decisions are made in the boardrooms that too often put quarterly earnings over long-term returns.
Barack ObamaWe uploaded ‚Ocean Eyes‘ to SoundCloud, and it started getting a lot of plays pretty much immediately.
Billie EilishI want to thank God, obviously for the health, for the talent He’s given me, for my family who supports me, for the things that basketball’s taught me on and off the court. For the people that I’ve been able to meet through the game of basketball.
Stephen CurryI can play a lot of different instruments adequately but nothing really well.
Amy WinehouseMusic will never go away, and I will never stop making music; it’s just what capacity or what arena you decide to do it.
Dave GrohlI think maybe people see bands and musicians as some sort of superhero unrealistic sport that happens in another dimension where it’s not real people and not real emotions. So, I grew up listening to Beatles records on my floor. That’s how I learned how to play guitar. If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be a musician.
Dave GrohlIf you want to find the source of much of the music of modern day Russia, you will find it in the incredible compositions of that crazed lunatic Berlioz.
Ray BradburyMost of those melodies are me trying to find out what notes fit, and then hitting ones that don’t fit in a very interesting way.
Brian EnoGrowing up, my grandmother did not want worldly music in the house. Then when I went out to California, I started listening to Spanish music, mostly Mexican music. But were I in Egypt, I would listen to the music of the people, or if I was in Italy, I’d listen to Italian music.
Maya AngelouI want to – more than anything – to create a moment that people will never forget. Not for me, but for themselves. That’s what I remember about great Super Bowl performances in the past, when you really get lost in the moment with your family.
Lady GagaIf you play an instrument, it makes you a better singer. The more you play, the better you sing, the more you sing, the better you play.
Amy WinehouseI never had a mother. I suppose a mother is one to whom you hurry when you are troubled.
Emily DickinsonI’ve had mixtapes that have been better than albums I’ve heard from other artists. I take my time; I put my heart into it.
Kevin GatesSo many girls come up and say to me, ‚I have never listened to country music in my life. I didn’t even know my town had a country-music station. Then I got your record, and now I’m obsessed.‘ That’s the coolest compliment to me.
Taylor SwiftWhen I was performing the songs on ‚Kiss Land,‘ it was a great singalong. But there were moments where I realized some parts were catchier than the others. There’s maybe two choruses on all of ‚Kiss Land.‘
The WeekndI just received the following wire from my generous Daddy; Dear Jack, Don’t buy a single vote more than is necessary. I’ll be damned if I’m going to pay for a landslide.
John F. KennedyMaking music is like shopping for me. Every song is like a new pair of shoes.
RihannaI really started writing music to challenge myself, to see what I could write.
Amy WinehouseI always wanted a family.
Kevin GatesEvery day that is born into the world comes like a burst of music and rings the whole day through, and you make of it a dance, a dirge, or a life march, as you will.
Thomas CarlyleI don’t intend to stop making music.
Frank OceanMy music definitely comes from a place of experience. Everything connects to a truth.
Frank OceanOne often makes music to supplement one’s world.
Brian EnoWe have a Boesendorfer piano that I play every day. It keeps my brain and my fingers active.
Anthony HopkinsI can operate in half-a-song format.
Frank Ocean
