No, there’s something about the sing-song cadence of children’s music that has its place in rock.

I’d love it if everyone knew one Foo Fighters song.

I done wrestled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale; handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail; only last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalised a brick; I’m so mean I make medicine sick.

Hip hop has always been braggin‘ and boasting and ‚I’m better at you than this‘ and ‚I’m better at you than that.‘

I love the Sex Pistols. I’m a big Beach Boys fan and a huge Zeppelin and Queen fan.

Alternative R&B is in my soul. It’s not going anywhere.

Actually, I hear a lot of rock music. My husband is a big rock fan.

Folk music is a bunch of fat people.

My definition of country music is really pretty simple. It’s when someone sings about their life and what they know, from an authentic place.

The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor.

Reggaeton is something else – it is part of pop culture. It is something very big that I don’t believe will ever die.

I’m pretty sure in my older years, I’ll be doing old-time flavored folk-mountain music.

I was looking for something a lot heavier, yet melodic at the same time. Something different from heavy metal, a different attitude.

Gospel music is never pessimistic, it’s never ‚oh my god, its all going down the tubes‘, like the blues often is.

For me, writing a song, I sit down and the process doesn’t really involve me thinking about the demographic of people I’m trying to hit or who I want to be able to relate to the song or what genre of music it falls under.

No change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to.

Rock music is niche.

People like bluegrass. It’s had a following amongst a lot of hip and young people. A lot of college kids like bluegrass.

I was 14, and I fell in love with Pink Floyd.

Dropkick Murphys get me going, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana… plus, all the regular hip-hop stuff.

My records are borderline dance records. They’ve got a real electro-rock heart and soul, and the vibe of the sentiment is pop, but there’s a lot of people that were like, ‚This is a dance record.‘

You know, Nirvana used to start rehearsals with the three of us just jamming. For, like, a half an hour, just noise and freeform crap – and usually it was crap. But sometimes things would come from it, and some songs on Nevermind came from that, and ‚Heart Shaped Box‘ and stuff on ‚In Utero‘ just happened that way.

Reggaeton is a global genre.

If you’re going to write about rap music and hip-hop, and you don’t love it, then we don’t need your opinion, and we revoke your opinion.

Dance music is no longer a simple Donna Summer beat. It’s become a whole language that I find fascinating and exciting. Eventually, it will lose the dance tag and join the fore of rock.

The most important thing is that you honor that musical integrity, whether you make music that sounds like ABBA or you make music that sounds like Void.

Trap is new. It didn’t start yesterday, but when I was 5, it didn’t exist – not even in the U.S. I’ve evolved with the music.
