Musicians like to converse. There's always interesting conversation with musicians - with classical musicians, with jazz musicians, musicians in general.

Wynton Marsalis

American politicians do anything for money... English politicians take the money and won't do anything.

Stephen Leacock

Strange people like chefs, musicians, and politicians affect me.

Jason Flemyng

I've always said that musicians are the comics of my generations and comedians are the politicians of my generation.

Devendra Banhart

All it takes to become president is money and a certain kind of power. Being president is the first thing I can shoot for, not the highest. It may come to a point where people take rock and roll musicians more seriously than they take politicians. It may eventually turn out that musicians have more credibility.

Todd Rundgren

Musicians are like politicians. They're the last people who should be making music, just like politicians are the last people who should be running things.

Nigel Godrich

And I think musicians can better run this state than politicians. And, hell, beauticians can better run the state than politicians.

Kinky Friedman

Musicians can run this state better than politicians. We won't get a lot done in the mornings, but we'll work late and be honest.

Kinky Friedman

I am cynical about politicians. My experience of politicians has been thoroughly negative. I have found that politicians are people that can not be taken at face value. There are very few politicians I have been impressed with.

Zac Goldsmith

Bands can become absolutely huge and actually be pretty terrible musicians, and bands can be the most amazing songwriters and musicians in the world and never play for more than 10 people. With that in mind, getting successful doesn't mean anything.

Kevin Parker

My interactions with musicians have been simply that: interactions with musicians. Issues of gender, or anything else beyond the music-making, have in my experience played no role in whether or not a musician has been able to articulate my intentions as a composer.

Michael Hersch

I think some of the musicians are more like punk rock musicians. It's like an art as opposed to being a musician. It's definitely more radical psychedelic bands, more than anything.

Wayne Coyne

One can say all they want about politicians, but politicians to other politicians, their word is almost always good.

John Sharp

I will never again play anything that does not have social significance. We American jazz musicians of African descent have proved beyond all doubt that we are master musicians of our instruments. Now what we have to do is employ our skill to tell the dramatic story of our people and what we've been through.

Max Roach

If you don't register to vote, politicians don't really care about you: politicians aren't really caring about what you have to say, what you have to do, anything.

David Harewood

Musicians are affected by the audience just as much as audiences are affected by the musicians. The only problem is that often times musicians won't allow themselves to admit to that fact.
