Activities that promote mind-wandering, such as reading literature, going for a walk, exercising, or listening to music, are hugely restorative.

I had never really liked the music by Gabriel Faure, but just by chance, listening to some pieces by him, I got very interested. So I listened to almost everything. All the pieces written by him. I was digging deeper and deeper. I'm not sure I still like his music or not, but it's interesting.

I listen to a lot of Freddie Hubbard.

Those who still think listening isn't an art should see if they can do it half as well.

Be Skeptical, but learn to listen.

I'm always listening to music; I can't live without it.

I don't listen to the radio.

My earliest memories were in the back of my grandad's car listening to Test Match Special.

My kids definitely give me all of my ideas. I'm always listening to what they talk about, how they play, what they play. Their imaginations are so incredible.

I listen to unhealthy amount of Kanye. The Fugees. Also, 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.'

It was always remarkable to me how ignorant the labels were of the listening habits of their own customers, and how obstinate they were in denying those habits and then trying to essentially alter those habits instead of retooling their business to adapt to them.

I learned mainly by listening to Andres Segovia and that was a great inspiration. And also the gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt.

I'm a very strong believer in listening and learning from others.

I can't ignore what I grew up listening to. My parents used to listen to Michael Jackson non-stop. They used to listen to Luther Vandross, Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder.

Album 1 is proving that you're worth listening to, album 2 is proving that it wasn't a fluke, and album 3 is the most authentic thing I've ever done.

When I released 'Songs From My Bedroom'... that's the one that people started actually listening to.

I'm a realist.

If films don't work, you have to be realistic and keep taking up television projects.

Recorded engine sounds, however, are a deliberate deception. They're like going to a concert and listening to a recording. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind buying a BMW recording and installing it in my '96 Jeep Cherokee.

Listening is being able to be changed by the other person.
