Early on, before rock 'n' roll, I listened to big band music - anything that came over the radio - and music played by bands in hotels that our parents could dance to. We had a big radio that looked like a jukebox, with a record player on the top. The radio/record player played 78rpm records. When we moved to that house, there was a record on there, with a red label. It was Bill Monroe, or maybe it was the Stanley Brothers. I'd never heard anything like that before. Ever. And it moved me away from all the conventional music that I was hearing.

Bob Dylan

My parents always wanted me to do music because they thought it was such a great extracurricular activity but we never thought it was going to be something that would be my career.

Kevin Olusola

I studied communications, only because I could get my own show on the campus radio station. I never thought of it as a career. Music was always a really passionate hobby - it was like collecting DVDs or stamps.

Kaskade

Call it whatever you want, whether it's hip-hop or cult music or pop music, but to me, it's all pretty disposable. I don't think that the music of Nikki Minaj or Justin Beiber is going to be played on the radio twenty-five years from now.

Joey Kramer

I played the guitar and thought that was what I was going to do as a career. I still record music that is played in my restaurants.

Graham Elliot

When radio stations started playing music the record companies started suing radio stations. They thought now that people could listen to music for free, who would want to buy a record in a record shop? But I think we all agree that radio stations are good stuff.

Niklas Zennstrom

In the mid-'60s, AM radio, pop radio, was just this incredible thing that played all kinds of music... You could hear Frank Sinatra right into the Yardbirds. The Beatles into Dean Martin. It was this amazing thing, and I miss it, in a way, because music has become so compartmentalized now, but in those days, it was all right in one spot.

Tom Petty

My parents always knew that I loved music. They just didn't think I'd try to make it a career. They thought I'd be a painter or an art teacher or something like that.

Benmont Tench

Music has been so healing in my life, so the fact that my music could be that for someone else is the best gift of my whole career. People have told me that they got married to my music, divorced to my music, and played my music while they were having their baby.

Gloria Estefan

I never really thought comedy was a career option, just something I did for fun. Suddenly I realised I was getting paid which was a bonus. I studied for a diploma with the London College of Music, and teaching was something I thought I might do but comedy intervened.

Bill Bailey

I never watched a Heisman ceremony when I was a kid. I didn't even know it was held at the Downtown Athletic Club when I was a candidate. I thought it was at Radio City Music Hall or something.

Carson Palmer

I never thought being a musician would be something I could make a career out of.

Vidya Vox

I don't make music for the radio. And when I was being played on the radio a lot, I didn't.

Rodney Crowell

Being the object of Alfred Hitchcock's obsession was horrific, but while he ruined my career, he could never ruin my life.

Tippi Hedren

But I never had that commercial opportunity to be played on the radio, so how could I be popular?

Luther Allison

I grew up in a musical environment. My parents played music and had it playing on the radio. They brought me to a concert at the age of 5, the same age I started violin lessons.

Joshua Bell
