I just know that I'm a fan of all different kinds of genres. You're supposed to be free doing music, and that's how I feel.
When it comes to music, we should be hoping for as outlandish a Republican candidate as we can get.
How it's been with me, it doesn't really matter what kind of music it is as long as it's good and catchy and I enjoy it. That's why I know all these different styles of music, just because it's fun. Whatever is good, I like it.
I like jazz, rock n' roll, some hip hop - I can't think of any music I don't like.
I don't want to make just tropical house. I want to make everything, just like, whatever I feel like making.
I don't think I have a genre at all.
I don't think I was ever meant to be tied down to one band for the rest of my life, playing one style of music.
Music is a huge part of my life, I enjoy every genre of music from jazz to country, and I even get down with a bit of hip hop.
It's funny; people get so doctrinaire about music. It should be the last thing you don't have an open mind about.
I've always been very open and unspecific about what kind of music I want to make.
Sound-wise, I'm really limitless in the way I write songs. Whatever comes out, comes out. Every song is completely different.
Heavy metal is the enemy. Everybody but me keeps going back and forth between metal and punk, but I'm narrow-minded and a purist. I'd never mess with it.
Where my tastes in music are concerned, I'm a real maximalist.
'Enlightened Rogues' we made like the earlier ones: whatever tune came up, whatever direction it went in, that's the way it went. That's what we'll always do. I think if we ever stop doin' that, we ought to quit.
I think I have a more wider scope for music, I have more taste for music.
I think the people who are saying jazz has to sound a particular way, or, 'What you're doing isn't jazz,' are just scared because they can't do it. A lot of them just aren't talented enough to do anything new, honestly.
There is no such thing as a wrong note.
In a studio situation, I'm able to dig deep and come up with stuff that all the guys think fits the vibe of the song. And I think that's partly due to the fact that I grew up listening to just about everything under the sun. I'm very open to music, and I like to do things in a traditional and musical way.
I listen to all types of music so I'm influenced by everything.
I'm really open-minded, musically. The credo I ascribe to is, 'Take care of the music, and let the rest take care of itself.' Growing up, I was a sponge and soaked up everything I was exposed to.
I listen to jazz, pop, rock, R&B. It really doesn't matter to me.
I'm honestly all over the board. I think if I had to pick one, I'd probably say it's country first, but I listen to literally everything: country, pop, rock, rap.
I cannot be confined to just one or two kinds of music.
I'm all over the place with what I listen to.
I'm influenced by all kinds of music. I have a very diverse iPod. You never know if I've got it on shuffle. You never know what you are going to hear next. I like all genres.
