I've always had influences from all over the place, like Mr. Bungle and Primus. As a band, we try not to focus too much on where it's coming from, because we're always listening to music.

I'm a huge fan of a lot of different genres of music, and I really felt like somehow I had been pigeonholed a little bit - maybe of my own doing - and in a way where I felt like I was sort of falsely defined. What my music was being called wasn't really the music I was always listening to.

I don't spend much time listening to the records when they're done. Usually I let go of it. Especially in the Eighties and Nineties - they were like product, almost.

People like to be moved, that's why they're here listening to you instead of sitting at home with the Shipping Forecast.

You witness a lot as a journalist, and what you witness becomes a part of you.

I listen to myself, listen to my heart.

I love to write and to get to know the people who are listening.

Music reigns supreme. It does not need a visual prop. While listening to a number, do you enjoy the tune, or do you enjoy it because you imagine someone singing it? In fact, quite a few hits of mine are from films that no one has heard about. The songs still rule, though.

I listen to podcasts while I run in Boise's foothills.

Studies have shown people listen to TV than watch it.

I won't stay in Al Ain. I'm looking and listening for other options.

I actually grew up break-dancing. When you break-dance you listen to hip-hop and rap, so I've been listening to that music since I was a kid.

My biggest source of inspiration is listening to people's conversations. I'm a big eavesdropper.

I grew up listening to the greats of the '80s and, thanks to my parents, the '70s - the Doobie Brothers, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Luther Vandross, Lionel Richie.

I got into rock music at thirteen, listening to Van Halen, learned how to play the electric guitar.

I also have that desire to blurt stuff out, but I've learned I can't do that. Not when you realise the whole world is listening. That's why perhaps I look so uncomfortable in interviews at times.

My approach with actors is to try and give them whatever it is they need from me. Direction to me is about listening and responding and realizing how much they need to know from me and how much they have figured out for themselves, really.

The only way to make a scene realistic is to do it the way you know it would really happen.

When I'm listening to music for pleasure, I'm gonna listen to someone else's music.

Listening to the people I serve is a critical component of any legislative effort.
