The reporter claimed he was going to write the article from my point of view. Instead, he made me sound like a little idiot. It made me never want to do another interview again. (Tia Carrere)
Why would you create a movie for black people if you don't understand the history and perspective of the people you are doing it for? You need historical perspective to make sound decisions. View quote

I love the incredible variety of demands directing makes on you, from the entrepreneur to the hustler to the deal-maker to the writer; to directing actors and the camera and working with music, sound, marketing and promotion. It uses so many sides of your brain. View quote
Tom Hooper
Doing something like that, quite radically changing your approach to sound in one go, could leave you high and dry. It's happened before where people have changed direction and then everyone's stopped liking their music. View quote
Tom Jenkinson
All the Frank O'Hara types seem to have very little sound stuff going... it's so chatty or something. View quote
Tom Verlaine
Emily Dickinson has great sound and sense. View quote
Tom Verlaine
I wonder what all those Chinese poets sound like in Chinese. I like their distilled quality. View quote
Tom Verlaine
I always hated jazz guitar. I loved jazz saxophone but I hated jazz guitar. If I would buy an organ trio record I would make sure I'd buy one that did not have a guitar player on it. The sound was awful! View quote
Tom Verlaine
A buoyant, positive approach to the game is as basic as a sound swing. View quote
Tony Lema

Trisha Yearwood
New Orleans is like a big musical gumbo. The sound I have is from being in the city my whole life. View quote
Trombone Shorty
There's a lot of music at my fingertips that I can be influenced by. And just because I play a horn, I don't need to sound, or try to capture, what was happening before me. I can just respect it and learn from it. View quote
Trombone Shorty
My favorite records are, like, The Pretty Things' 'Parachute' and 'S.F. Sorrow' and The Mothers of Invention's 'We're Only in It for the Money' and The Kinks' 'Village Green Preservation Society' - these records that have a story - even if it's not a literal story - because of how they're sequenced and flow. It's like a novel with sound. View quote
Ty Segall
I can make any type of music, so I wouldn't want to describe myself as having one type of sound. I think music is about keeping it diverse. View quote
Tyga
Not to sound too much like Christopher Guest in 'Waiting for Guffman,' but on Thanksgiving you're putting on a show! View quote
Ted Allen
There's this bubblegum pop thing which is prevalent now that we haven't had before. People's ears are slightly de-tuned; they've been exposed to this weird synthetic, implausibly upbeat, Mickey Mouse stuff which I think is just weird; it's not really a human sound. View quote
Teddy Thompson
Any kind of creativity is not settling down into a happy little space. I don't try to be mellow or anything. I think I have quite... my voice is what it is, no matter what I'm singing, it's always going to sound like me. There's not too far I could go. I sound like myself. I hope that I haven't put any boundaries on anything. View quote
Teddy Thompson
I think the interview form works best on the radio. There are a lot of personality traits conveyed in a person's voice, the rhythm of their speech or how confident they sound. View quote
Terry Gross
Out of doing all that experimentation with sound I decided I wanted to do it with live musicians. To take repetition, take music fragments and make it live. Musicians would be able to play it and create this kind of abstract fabric of sound. (Terry Riley)
When my sister and I were kids, swimming down in Charleston, there was this pizza parlor that had this old Dixieland band play, and I just loved Louis Armstrong and the sound of his voice, and I got up there with the band and started singing Louis Armstrong songs when I was a kid. I have no idea why, but I did it and I loved it. View quote
Thomas Gibson
Sometimes a sound gets overused. There is such a thing as a good saxophone, but it's like those fields in agriculture - they need to rest for a year or so. You need time to burn all the saxophones and start from scratch. View quote
Thomas Mars
My music confuses people because they think I will sound a certain way because I look a certain way with the dreads. View quote
Valerie June
I don't really care how I sound. View quote
Victoria Azarenka
