What producers did was mostly recording in the studio, so it never changed our sound just that much.

But, then again, I wouldn't call myself an indie-rock supporter even if there are some really good bands out there and there will always be some real good new bands.

There's no point that an album should sound like a watered down version of another album.

We were delighted to have Nigel as a producer. The only problem is that Nigel is so famous that he seems to dominate most interviews without being there.

I guess the majority of people who want to ban certain musicians are the ones who are so proud of everything America stands for.

I really do think everybody can sing.

I'm not sure if you can blame everything on the American way of life, but the United States are big. So, if you have a lot of people there, the percentage of stupid people is bound to be higher.

I'm more into describing a scenario and I move around in that scenario.

I think the focus of the media changes. At the moment the more electronic stuff like trip-hop was the flavor of the month, just a little while ago. It all depends on the angle, from which point of view you see it.

A good voice isn't so important. It's more important to sound really unique.

Almost every band has somebody who's the main songwriter and who has a vision, a very clear idea of how a song should be.

I like that band Get Hustle. They're cool live. I haven't heard their records, though.

Lou Reed is something like a personal favorite of mine, but you could always put me into that drawer of singers who can't really sing, who speak their songs.

Well, yeah, I sang to some songs on the radio or in the shower.

I don't even think my voice is really good.

If a voice is just too nice, without an edge, it kinda all flows by. You forget it. You don't listen to the lyrics.

We're not on a desperate mission to write chart compatible stuff.

We always did our own mixing.

The lyrics are different from Nick Cave songs and lyrics. His songs are very narrative.

If you want to be negative about the whole thing you can say all guitar bands after the Beatles were just a waste of time because the Beatles were the best. I think it's far better to give new records a try.

What producers did was mostly recording in the studio, so it never changed our sound just that much.

I never decided to start singing, to be a singer.

We're probably a couple of freaks who've created their own little universe, are living in our own little world and that's the only place where we can survive.

If you want something that's going to provide you with a lot of challenges and a variety of different things to do, then you really can't beat a place like the Air Force. I don't mean this to sound like a recruiting pitch. But it's been a lot of fun.

Most bands have a sound that they're already identified with, so for the producer it becomes a process of helping them find their muse in the studio to make a record that will not only satisfy them artistically, but will also do something in the marketplace.

Never play anything that don't sound right. You might not make any money, but at least you won't get hostile with yourself.

I don't want to sound pompous, but I really think your gender doesn't necessarily dominate your sexual activity.

You get a heck of a sound from the church. Can't you hear it in my voice?

It's clear to me that there is no good reason for many philosophy books to sound as complicated as they do.

I am not a sound bite person. I prefer to run at the mouth.

This is going to sound strange, but I really didn't think I would pass 30. I don't know why or whatever, I just didn't. That's a very weird thing to say, I'm sorry. I don't know. Maybe it's because I was drinking so much as a youth.

People say that I could sing the phone book and make it sound good.

Handcuffing the ability of states and localities to develop clean fuels in the cheapest possible way, using local resources, is not sound or sensible policy.

I don't know the vast majority of you personally, and it may sound kind of corny, but I really feel as if we've become friends through the years. And you've been with me during a lot of good times and some very difficult ones. I can't tell you how grateful I am.

In my fifty years of experience and memory, I have seen the most amazing increase in the standard of living of a people ever achieved anywhere in the world. This is why I am so sure that our system of free competition and industrial development is sound and must be preserved.

The President had every reason to believe that the text presented to him was sound... These 16 words should never have been included in the text written for the president.

The soprano turned out to sound to me like the right hand on the piano.

I'd never try to be that distinctive from the Bee Gees' sound. I'm very proud of being a Bee Gee and am always aware that I'll be identified as a Bee Gee.

And I think I find, I know a lot of people around, in different cities, and so it's not - it might sound strange - but it's not that hard to say good-bye, because I know there's other people where I'm going. I can sort of fit in in a lot of places.

We suspect Dr. Clutterbuck's sense of hearing must be injured: for him the 'ear trumpet' magnifies but distorts sound, rendering it less distinct than before.

If you're not Prince, you're never going to sound like Prince.

From each one of them rose separate columns of smoke, meeting in a pall overhead, and through the smoke came stabbing flashes of fire as German shells burst with thudding shocks of sound. This was the front line of battle.

Sound is the vocabulary of nature.

I want to take some jams and really concentrate on hooking up with Page because, since he's the only one not next to me, and his sound is mainly coming from my monitor rather than through the air, it's a little harder for me to hook up with him.

I wonder what all those Chinese poets sound like in Chinese. I like their distilled quality.

Apart from a few simple principles, the sound and rhythm of English prose seem to me matters where both writers and readers should trust not so much to rules as to their ears.

Hillary Clinton bothers me a lot. I realized the other day that her thoughts sound a lot like Karl Marx. She hangs around a lot of Marxists. All her friends are Marxists.

It's rare that scenes last more than 2 or 3 minutes, so sound helps segue from one scene to another.

I started working on trying to sound like June from the very beginning.
