I have a large pallette of tastes.
I'm into music for all different sorts of purposes.
I don't profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime, for instance.
I see no kind of reason to not just try everything. I mean, I feel like we all have such varied tastes, and to not just try our tastes is a crime.
I like to hike and cook. I enjoy furniture and design - not making it, just looking at it. I'm always kind of trying to spread my interests around and try new things.
I'm really into a lot of different music, and a lot of stuff that sounds absolutely nothing like anything on the Mini-Album.
Like everybody else, I love a good pop song. You know, there's nothing like it. I also just really like music that goes off on extended forays of extrapolation into different areas. So it's kind of nice to be able to move between those two poles.
I like so many different kinds of music just because all I did was listen to the radio as a kid.
Different strokes for different folks.
I think that because I have so many different influences, and that shows in my music, that different people can connect with it.
Different strokes, for different folks.
A lot of music doesn't do one thing or another. It just doesn't do anything. Then there are those pieces of music that thrill your soul. It's such a wide range, and it's really interesting that we all love different things.
I really like a lot of different music, and it's taken a while to make them all work together as a unit.
To please everybody is impossible; were I to undertake it, I should probably please nobody.
We grew up listening to a variety of music, such as Gospel/Christian, R&B old/new school, jazz, blues, Mozart, Mary Poppins, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, just to name a few. I love opera, too - went to state in high school as a soloist.
Look, you know, you can't please everybody. I'm a stand-up comic. I know that. It doesn't matter how funny you are and how well you do, there's two people that are going to walk out of there hating you.
There are different audiences out there, and everyone has different tastes of what they want. And it's a good thing because otherwise, there wouldn't be enough stuff to go around.
I have so many songs, it's ridiculous. I love so many different types of music and tend to write all over the map, style-wise. R&B, rock 'n' roll, screamers, pop, good-time songs.
You can't simplify my taste and say, 'Parker likes big wines,' because it's just not true.
I like a good fun chick-lit book as much as I like historical fiction, mysteries, or biographies, I like to be well-rounded!
I'm not loyal to one genre. I want to mix it up.
I was brought up with beautiful music - Nat King Cole and Glen Miller from my dad, and my mum loved Judy Garland and Doris Day - brilliant stuff. Through my brothers and sisters I heard David Bowie and The Specials, The Carpenters, Meatloaf and The Rolling Stones.
Tastes are varied, man, so much in this music world. Look, I adore the bands that I adore. On the flipside, as much as you love a 100 different genres of bands, there are another 100 I can easily say I dislike, too.
The reason I can achieve so many different feelings is because the people I listen to have always been so diverse.
