Billy Joel is an incredible musician. He just feels like one of the guys, you know. I grew up listening to his music.

I don't want to be in everyone's face. I'm a big music fan, and I get really pissed off when it gets like that... and I don't want people to get like that with me.

- Adele

My worst fear is my music won't connect with the public.

- Adele

I can't exactly say why there's not much protest music to speak off. And I know there are acts out there still putting a message in their music.

- Adam McKay

Other than Green Day, we haven't had a lot of protest music over the past few decades.

- Adam McKay

I love music videos, I really do. I think it's kind of sad that it's a dying art form.

- Adam Levine

Furnishing a home is no different than going into the studio and making music. You want to make sure you've pared down all the extra details so that in the end, every stitch has a context uniquely yours.

- Adam Levine

Music was a way of rebelling against the whole rah-rah high school thing.

- Adam Levine

'The Voice' was the first real job I've ever had that wasn't just messing around with music.

- Adam Levine

I'm into heavy duty, psychedelic, foreign music. That's what I like listening to.

I have all of the Apple products. Everything I've ever written, I've written on a Mac. My first computer, my roommates and I chipped in, and we got that first Macintosh - 128K. It had as much memory as a greeting card that plays music.

- Aaron Sorkin

I could never change the overall feel of my music. That's why people like me - I don't follow trends, and I don't follow crowds.

- Action Bronson

I'm gonna be honest. I don't care about much. I care about people liking my music. I made it very far without nothing being on radio.

- Action Bronson

When you start putting too much thought into it, the music starts getting too revealing. You don't need to know all my inner thoughts.

- Action Bronson

Whenever I cook, I think of Spanish music, so I always have to listen to some sort of salsa. It gets your body going.

- Action Bronson

Everyone is trying to make these huge songs; I just make things that I want to listen to. Music that I will be comfortable listening to 10 years from now, that's my only thing.

- Action Bronson

I grew up in the '90s. My goal isn't to be a '90s rapper, but I have little hints of '90s influence in my music. It's a modern approach to classic rap.

- Action Bronson

I'll always be into sports. Sports is part of my life forever. My TV stays on ESPN all day long, I'm one of those. I don't even listen to music in the car; all I listen to is sports talk.

- Action Bronson

I'm a man of different types of flavors and tastes. I like listening to things that inspire me. Older music, when instruments were being played, not just people hitting buttons. It's manlier. You're touching things to make sounds appear.

- Action Bronson

A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.
