If music be the food of love, play on.
Music is very spiritual, it has the power to bring people together.
In music the passions enjoy themselves.
Next to the Word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world.
Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.
Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.
Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.
Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
I happened to come along in the music business when there was no trend.
I came into this music business at 26 years old. I was a fully developed man at that point. At that age, I didn't have anything to prove.
Music and the music business are two different things.
The music business is motivated by money. Music is motivated by energy and feelings.
The music business looks like, you know, innocent schoolboys compared to the TV business. They care about nothing but profit.
This music business can suck all the love out of you, all the compassion for people - you can start to think you're better than them. But I want to continue to let people know that I'm no better and no worse, I'm just like you.
The music business doesn't interest me anymore.
I titled the album Reflections because I am reflecting on my music career.
I've been fortunate enough to experience financial success on a large scale through both my music career and my many business ventures. With this type of financial success comes financial responsibility.
I guess my music career is my personal life. You know, I've always been a writer who wants to write about my experiences. And so this experience being added to that, I - I want to live extraordinary experiences. And when I give advice to people, I want it to be sage advice.
About 13-14 years ago, I went back to my alma mater, Fairfax High School, and ran into the music teacher. She invited me to come speak to the kids about the viability of a music career. When I went into the room where I used to play every day in a big orchestra, they had nothing!
There are a lot of options when it comes between music and acting. For me, because I'm so passionate about my music career, you have to be extremely passionate when you have opportunities like films and real money actually coming to you compared to with music.
