Well, I've had a lot of different experiences in music over the years. And not everything you do can satisfy everybody's idealised version of you.

Elvis Costello

I make a lot of music for different people. My audience is varied so I use different tempos for different music in order to satisfy my many fans.

Sizzla

Everybody does music from his culture and his experiences with his culture. There are not so many people who are interested by the music coming from different countries and different cultures and trying to make music from that, from all these experiences.

Rokia Traore

A lot of different things had to come together over the years, accumulated experiences of a general and personal nature, before the idea and the decision were developed and then carried out.

Gerhard Richter

I find a difference between what gets called world music - a fusion of western music and music from different cultures in more of a modernized version - and Explorer Series stuff, which is completely undiluted indigenous folk music. That's a lot more powerful than a lot of the super-processed stuff that comes out now.

Glenn Kotche

I had four fantastic years with Jurgen. We won a lot of things together, we lived through many different experiences together, we had our lows, too.

Ilkay Gundogan

There are many critics who have an idealised version of where my strengths lie.

Elvis Costello

I have been making music since I was a kid. I have written music since I was, like, seven or eight. I was in the studio at 9, 10. So I've had a lot of practice over a lot of years.

Joyner Lucas

Hits, flops, and everything in between - I got to do a lot of different things as an actor, had a lot of good learning experiences. So I think I've done reasonably okay for myself, and God has given me more than what I've asked for.

Anita Hassanandani Reddy

I think what we find fascinating and interesting is when people take our music and turn it into emotionally something else. And weirdly, Lorde's version of 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World,' the production really goes with the lyric more than our version does, because our version, albeit the lyric is dark, the music is quite uplifting.

Curt Smith

I haven't stopped making music since I started at 16 and throughout the years I made a lot of different connections and had a lot of opportunities.

Kid Ink

I've discovered all kinds of music and done all kinds of music over the past 40 years, from playing tango with Piazzolla to all the different bands I've had.

Gary Burton

The real deep text of music and the whole reason that it has continued with the profundity and urgency that it has for over a thousand years, has to do with what the notes say, what the notes witness, different experiences of hope or doubt that people are able to distill and encode and pass on in this way.

Michael Tilson Thomas

I'm 67 years old now. I've had a lot of good teachers over the years; and they have been very, very different from one another. They all had passion for what they were doing, but their styles were unique to them as individuals.

Parker J. Palmer

I really consider myself very fortunate over the years to have the experiences that I had and to be able to come out on top tonight means the world. It's been a long road and it's a lot of hard.
