Famous Quotes & Sayings

The Weeknd

When you're traveling constantly, every day you become inspired, and it shows in my work, sonically, lyrically, visually.

We used to do sock puppet shows for my auntie back in the day.

Charlie Daniels

Make sure to be honest with yourself, about if that's really what you want to do with your life - to make music.

To know who I am is a species of knowing where I stand. My identity is defined by the commitments and identifications which provide the frame or horizon within which I can try to determine from case to case what is good, or valuable, or what ought to be done, or what I endorse or oppose. In other words, it is the horizon within which I am capable of taking a stand.
