I feel when acting, I am sometimes overly self-conscious; I think, 'Going, no, don't, put your eyebrow back where it was and, you know, turn to the left.' You know, I'm sort of very consciously adopting this character. But with music, I don't know. I found it was a question of just closing my eyes and just sort of letting things come out.
Quote by -Hugh Laurie
I wouldn't be able to act like Al Pacino or play the piano like Dr. John, But I could probably act better than Dr. John and play the piano better than Al Pacino.
Quote by -Hugh Laurie
Piano was - well, all musical instruments were taught in this very rigid, formal, classical method when I was young.
Quote by -Hugh Laurie
The first big stars, Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, you know, these were gigantic stars. I even wonder sometimes whether all music actually comes from women, whether the first glimmering of music is a mother soothing a baby.
Quote by -Hugh Laurie
Music is one of the noblest callings I can think of. It's the highest of all the art forms to me. For example, if my kid said to me, 'I want to give it all up,' whatever it is that they're doing, 'and I want to take my saxophone and go out,' I would say, 'May God go with you. This is a great and noble thing that you're doing.'
Quote by -Hugh Laurie
In 'The Sound of Music,' I was a von Trapp daughter in a white dress with a blue satin sash, and my line was, 'I'm Brigitta. I'm 12, and all I want is a good time.' I got a laugh. And I was so delighted, I laughed, too. Sadly, that's a problem I still have - onstage, I laugh hysterically at how funny I am.
Quote by -Hugh Grant
“My wife and I were shopping for the whole family. In the music department my wife said, "Let's get your nephew a set of drums. That's what your brother did to us last year."”
Quote by -Milton Berle
"We dance round in a ring and suppose, While the secret sits in the middle and knows"
Quote by -Robert Frost
"I alone of English writers have consciously set myself to make music out of what I may call the sound of sense."
Quote by -Robert Frost
"I wanted to be different and original but still have it be something my fans could get into. There also are some big, beautiful ballads. I told my producers that I wanted tracks that are going to blow up in the clubs, but I also wanted songs that were very melodic and with a lot of instrumentation."
Quote by -Aaliyah

"Caught in that sensual music all neglect monuments of unaging intellect"
Quote by -William Butler Yeats

Quote by -Jim Morrison
"If we look at the fact that record covers are essentially advertisements for the music, we acknowledge a function and purpose to draw in the prospective buyer."

"Studying music in a conservatory would be stifling for me, although I respect people who can do it. And by no means am I an expert at notating music or music theory - that's not really my world."
Quote by -Beck

Quote by -Beck
"I didn't want to be on a major label. I wanted all the attention and the noise to go away because I wanted to be something a little bit more substantial."
Quote by -Beck

Quote by -Beck
"There's more things that I'd like to do. You know, each song is a little bit of a puzzle. I see most of them as just failed attempts."
Quote by -Beck
"I have heard some stuff that might be influenced by my records, but it's usually pretty wacky and off-the-wall, which is kind of annoying, to be frank."
Quote by -Beck
"Every band I knew or played with had flyers and properly-recorded demos and contacts; I couldn't even get a gig."
Quote by -Beck

Quote by -Beck

Quote by -Ulrich Beck
