10 QUOTES WITH «SOUNDS»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word sounds.
1
Kyle Abraham
A lot of the time, when I'm choreographing, I'm not thinking about what movement look best next to the next movement - I'm actually thinking about what song and what sound sounds right next to the next thing. So kind of choreographing as if I'm always making a mix tape, so to speak.
2
Adam Ant
I just think, certainly for live music it should look as good as it sounds.
3
Michael Azerrad
A lot of music fans are still interested in insightful perspectives on music - maybe even more interested than ever, since everyone needs help making sense of the incredible variety of sounds that have sprung up in the wake of the Internet revolution. There's a lot of room for unique, qualified voices who can provide good reads.
4
Benny Blanco
Always be different; don't follow the rules. Don't do what anyone tells you. Don't use the same sounds as people; don't use the same drums as people.
5
Alain de Botton
On paper, being good sounds great but a lot depends on the atmosphere of the workplace or community we live in. We tend to become good or bad depending on the cues sent out within a particular space.
6
Jim Broadbent
It's fatal to talk about acting. It sounds faintly ridiculous if you start analysing it.
7
Steve Buscemi
My favorite review described me as the cinematic equivalent of junk mail. I don't know what that means, but it sounds like a dig.
8
Chick Corea
The sound of the orchestra is one of the most magnificent musical sounds that has ever existed.
9
Wayne Coyne
Even in the beginning, when we knew there was a legal argument about how much our song sounds like his song, as one songwriter to another, I wasn't sure that Cat Stevens would take that as bad.
10
Felix Dennis
I think having a great idea is vastly overrated. I know it sounds kind of crazy and counterintuitive. I don't think it matters what the idea is, almost. You need great execution.
