As they say of the blind, Sounds are the things I see.
Blues is like the roux in a gumbo. People ask me if jazz always has the blues in it. I say, if it sounds good it does.
The more you travel, the better you get at it. It sounds silly, but with experience you learn how to pack the right way. I remember one of my first trips abroad, travelling around Europe by rail, fresh out of high school. I brought all these books with me and a paint set. I really had too much stuff, so I've learnt to be more economical.
I like Aurora, Sleeping Beauty, because shes just sleeping and looking pretty and waiting for boys to come kiss her. Sounds like a good life - lots of naps and cute boys fighting dragons to come kiss you.
It sounds trite, but I like telling stories.
I try to convey what it feels like and sounds like and smells like and looks like inside of my particular skin, to move through the world as a black American woman in her mid-twenties.
I know this sounds terribly shallow, but I've been mapping out my outfits for the next day every day since I was little, even before high school.
When anything is easy, it becomes very monotonous for me. But, if I can find something that is really going to take all of my body and all of my mind to really even come close to pulling off, that sounds like fun.
With one of the most bewitching sounds in the world, its purr, the cat persuades us that it thinks we are wonderful.
Richard Wagner, a musician who wrote music which is better than it sounds.
Just do what makes you happy. . . . sounds simple, doesn't it ?
Truth sounds like hate to those who hate the truth
Perfumes, colours and sounds echo one another.
If it sounds too good to be true, it always is.
Joyous Sound evolved from a gospel influence. Actually it evolved out of sitting at a piano and just picking out a riff, a gospel type riff. It just seemed to come joyously-something about the song, about living in another place of joyous sounds. I'm not quite sure-that's one I'm trying to analyze. It just came out.
The best advice I have been given is to live in the moment, as cliché as that sounds. It's crazy.
I like guitar sounds to be a little somber.
I realize how desperate it sounds for me, as a comedian, to ask you to laugh at my jokes.
Like every American, I will never forget where I was on the morning of September 11, 2001. As a member of Congress from Indiana, that day my duties took me to Capitol Hill and to sights and sounds I will never forget.
When you earn it and spend it you do know the difference between three dollars and a million dollars, but when you say it and vote it, it all sounds the same.
