The only film I ever made for money was something called 'Music From Another Room', which I really didn't like.

I do know there's a lot of music where Led Zeppelin has been leant on. We didn't do anything about it. And I wouldn't want to, either.

I feel like I'll be writing World War 2 music the rest of my life.

Musicians do music for the girls. We do music for the money. We do music for the recognition, for the rock and roll history. But we also do it because it's fun.

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.

A really good poem is full of music.

Music is a dialogue.

My parents are so supportive of whatever we want to do and completely nurtured that, and they're so proud of that as well. My sister's a doctor, and I have an older brother as well. He went into the music industry; he's very musically talented.

There are certain sounds that I've found work well in nearly any context. Their function is not so much musical as spatial: they define the edges of the territory of the music.

The greatest thing about music is everyone has their own style, and I respect all styles of music.

Our music is becoming more mature.

When I was young, I had this contrarian thing, and my music for a long time was an extension of that. I didn't want to entertain people; I had too much vanity to be an entertainer. I think that some layers of vanity came off.

I blub all the time, in the most weird situations - not in the ones that should make me cry. Music makes me very emotional.

Normally when I read, I don't like music playing.

I started hitching about the country when I was 16 or 17 years old. I found the music that was played around the country - Irish music - had a particular resonance.

I'm pretty into music. Anything with music I love... I'm really big on lyrical content plus a good beat.

I have to not let anything get to me and not get an ego about it and just do what I want to do, do things because I like them, and make the music that I like unapologetically.

I graduated from UC San Diego, wanted to work in film to get my hands-on real experience, did music videos, TV, feature films, all kinds of stuff.

One of the people I heard early on in his career was Eric Church. I liked him and his music.

I went to school in Gainesville because it was a huge punk and folk town. So I went to class twice a week, and then I went to shows and wrote. I did a lot of music writing before I actually started playing music.
