I've been dancing since I was two, learning so many different styles. I like dancing to rap and hip-hop, but also the Strokes, the Hives, and the Vines with carefree randomness. There's always a way to move to something.
We could not, for example, arrive at a principle like that of entropy without introducing some additional principle, such as randomness, to this topography.
I listen to Radio 4 and put the iPod on shuffle. I like the randomness of, say, the Stones, then something from Nina Simone, Nick Drake or Bob Dylan.
When my career took off like a rocket in '97 - me against the nWo and Randy Savage - I wasn't just a top guy, I was the top guy, and then in '98, I blew my back out.
There are a few great orchestras in the world, thank goodness. Although some people do put them in ranking order, it's not like a snooker match. Each orchestra has different things to offer.
I don't like rap music at all. I don't think it's music. It's just a beat and rapping.
I don't really listen to rap; I just like to rap.
Sometimes I feel like rap music is almost the key to stopping racism.
When I finished Westlife, we had - Louie Walsh is still managing me - I was lucky to have options from different labels such as Sony and Universal. When we met Capitol and Nick Raphael, I just believed in them the most, and it looked like they believed in me the most.
I knew I wanted to be a rapper when I was, like, 5.
My mom is the first female rapper I've ever known. I'm thinking, like, Okay, yeah, this is normal. Everybody's doing this.
I'ma sound like all your favorite rappers.
I like music, I listened to all rappers; people like Jeezy, Yo Gotti, T.I.
I don't know how I started rapping. The first I did was at school. I tried writing one. I liked it. People started to like it. It was what I wanted to do.
What I don't do is try to like become whoever I'm rapping with. The people who go get an LL album want to hear LL.
Instruments sound interesting, not because of their sound, but because of the relationship a player has with them. Instrumentalists build a rapport with their instruments, which is what you like and respond to.
When a medium like games or comic books whips up such a rapture of enthusiasm, naturally we look for lessons we should be learning.
As a Korean American, I grew up yearning to see actors that looked like me. On the rare occasions I saw an Asian celebrity, I adored them unflaggingly.
Classical music has become rarefied, like a maiden aunt that nobody wants to talk to.
If the library's rarest frequenters are the ones we'd like to see in them the most, then libraries are failing.
