Famous Quotes & Sayings

David Draiman

We don't have a particular plan. We just do what we do. This is the only way we know how to do it. We make the music that moves us. We use it as therapy. The songs are cathartic.

For us as writers, it's really important to have songs we believe in - even before sometimes we shoot a scene.

It helps the cameraman and it helps the director, and it helps the actors know what the feel is.

Liz [Gillies] doesn't really listen to anything new, besides Adele, Ariana Grande, and stuff like that. She loves '70s music and old '60s songs. She loves songwriters from the '70s that I hate, like Jim Croce and James Taylor, and she loves Stevie Nicks and old jazz classics.

I got an amazing 10-CD set, it's the music that Alan Lomax recorded in Haiti in 1936. And what's incredible is how fantastic the drummers are and how off-the-grid they are.

Music fans deserve to know whether EMI's copy-restricted CDs are exposing their computers to security risks.
