You can't do anything interesting with cutting-edge technology except not make it cutting-edge.

Brian Eno

I think in the end there is one ultimate goal with all my careers, and that is, as a performing artist, you want to explore the deepest, most truthful way to express a point of view, or whatever the character is thinking, or whatever emotion you're trying to convey. I think with the different media it's just about what muscles you use to express that.

Audra McDonald

I have crazy, different influences in my songs. I want rap music, I want Congolese rumba, I want salsa, I want dance music, I want hip-hop music, all mixed into one!

Stromae

I want to highlight this, that to make meaningful cinema, we really need an enabling environment and freedom to express.

Sharmila Tagore

When I'm given an opportunity with music and goodness, then I want to do that [play that role]. I want to go all the way to the edge of that and make it as big as I can.

Kelli O'Hara

We don't want to do gimmicks. Gimmicks in XFL 1 didn't work very well.

Oliver Luck

I would say I like expressing myself in different ways. The way I can express myself in songs is awesome. What you can express through acting is cool too. I just want to let it all out. I like them both for different reasons, though. Music has a freedom that acting doesn't really have, and acting presents a challenge that music necessarily doesn't.

Keith Stanfield

I want to be cutting-edge.

Missy Elliott

I want to make meaningful music always - I think every artist does. We want our words and melodies to mean something to people, even if it is just one person.

Darren Fletcher

I always want to be on the cutting edge.

Frank Peretti

I had to drop a boulder to wake people up about the A.R.T. We've done that, and now we have audiences again who want cutting-edge work, who want to be challenged, but who also won't be falling asleep at the theater.

Diane Paulus

Cutting edge, breakthrough, television. That's what we want to do.

Anthony Michael Hall

I can deal with all the pangs of having to find money in 20 different places because you don't really reap the whirlwind with this cutting-edge music.

Doseone

I wonder a lot about making things meaningful. You want to do meaningful work and make art, but you're making records, which is good, but you don't want to weight them - it's a very curious thing.

Doseone

You realize as a director that when you are cutting a film, you want to have alternatives. You need color and choices. You don't want four takes that are identical.

Dolph Lundgren

Everyone needs an escape, whether that is through music or humor. My personal escape is through both of those things so I thought why not combine them? But not in a cringe way, I don't want to make parody songs. I just want my music to have a humorous edge to it.
