I wasn't featured in NXT. I never had a TakeOver match. I never held a title. I wasn't a featured athlete. I knew, going in to SmackDown Live, I had to kick down the door and take every opportunity for what it was, and sometimes in WWE - and in life - those opportunities don't come back.

An outsider longing to be on the inside is the same as the soloist longing to work in an ensemble. I get great satisfaction in being a part of the proper - for me - community. I'm uncomfortable with various social groupings and clusterings. But when I'm in the right group, doing the right thing, I get as much satisfaction out of that as anyone who does it all the time.

George Carlin

The emphasis in each piece is on building a whole, totally integrated structure. In doing this, we try to carry on - in ensemble as well as solo sections - the mood of a jazz soloist. I mean that principle of kinetic improvisation that keeps a jazz solo building.

Cecil Taylor

I don't think I'm even a musician. I don't play a lot of instruments, not really a soloist or anything.

Cass McCombs

The symphonies are the things that, as a soloist, I've not gotten to play. I used to travel the world playing concertos, and then I would sit and listen to the symphony.

Joshua Bell

'Jazz Artist of the Century' would have to be a distinctive soloist and ensemble player, a composer, an arranger, a bandleader, and a driver; would have to span all the genres and periods of jazz; would have to have run her own label; [would] possess a deep spirituality, with grace and a sense of humor; and would have to have succeeded against all odds. Who else? Mary Lou Williams.

Dave Douglas

In the orchestra of a great kitchen, the sauce chef is a soloist.

Fernand Point

We can't hear the balance yet because the soloist is still on the airplane.

Eugene Ormandy

I think it's funny how people get confused when they think about church music, because a lot of times there is a soloist who stands out, but my church wasn't like that at all.

Valerie June

I got a call for 'Aaya Na Tu' the same day that Forbes featured me in their list of 30 under 30. That day, I knew I had established myself as more than just a singer.

Momina Mustehsan

I really consider myself more of a rhythm guitarist than a soloist.

Alex Lifeson

I always thought of myself as more of a rhythm player than a big soloist.

Rick Nielsen

I was always the kid on scholarship, I was a soloist with my company, I'd been working with the symphony since I was 14.

Summer Glau

Next year I'm going to be a guesting soloist with orchestras all over Europe, to start off with.

Keith Emerson

Over the years, I've seen how being a soloist and having a family can really work.

Joshua Bell

I've always thought about myself as somewhat of a folk musician. I just write words. I don't think I'm even a musician. I don't play a lot of instruments, not really a soloist or anything.
