Album Quotes
Man, he's just one of our idols. I've been listening to Scofield since I was a teenager. One thing I always respected about him was you never knew what his next album would be like. Even today, he still pushes the envelope. For someone to take that kind of approach with his music and then show interest in playing with us is really inspiring.

Believe Quotes
Personally, I would be resistant to that and I believe that in listening to my colleagues on the committee, there doesn't seem to be a lot of momentum in that direction. I think that over the last two years there is a certain magic that has evolved over the course of this tournament, and I wouldn't want to fool around with that in the short term in regards to expanding the field in any way.

Album Quotes
I was really trying to anchor down the band. We should explore this new song, but we've got to have a certain element that will have our old fans listening and enjoying it while gaining a whole bunch of new fans. I was definitely worried. But first and foremost we wanted to write songs that did inspire us. That was the most important part because we didn't want to write an album that we just hated before it even came out.

Barbara Quotes
I was talking to somebody the other day, it was Seth Rudetsky He said 'when did you learn to sing? Â He said please dont say in Church. Thats where I learned to sing.Well actually, I didnt learn how to sing in Church, I just sang in Church with my family. My family was quite musical. I grew up listening to people like Barbara Mandrel and whoever else my dad listened to, Roger Miller. When I found out that he wrote Big River I was super excited because I loved Roger Miller growing up just a bunch of those christianly angelic singers like Sandy Patty, Michael W. Smith, you know all those people. Thats where I got my influence.

Anyone Quotes
I would encourage anyone who is older to write down as much as they can remember. They may think that no one cares, but their children and grandchildren will when they grow up. I have so many regrets about not really listening and asking questions when my grandparents and parents were alive, and I've heard so many others say the same thing.

Course Quotes
I worked with the elderly. I found that from the experience of listening to elderly people talk about their lives, you get a different sense about what happens over the course of a person's life. I grew up in a family where there's a real ethic about making your life mean something; do something in your life that helps other people.

Cannot Quotes
I grew up listening to Switchfoot. I love Switchfoot; they're a great band. John Foreman is awesome. I really dig mainstream pop music, but I also have a heart for jazz and rock. Oh! Coldplay! I cannot miss Coldplay! I think 'Fix You' is one of the most brilliantly written songs ever. It's, like, my favorite song of all time.

Claim Quotes
I feel like you become a songwriter when you claim that it's sort of like a switch flipped, and you're always writing. Even in your sleep, you're always thinking about it in the back of your mind. The true writing - when you're officially writing - that's just when its front of mind, but its always there. You're always listening for a hook.

Asking Quotes
For younger students, parents should spend time reading to them and listening to them read, then asking them questions about the material they read. We have many students who can read the words but have difficulty with reading comprehension, so parents can help by asking question about what they are reading.

By easing the tax burden on companies and high-level executives, France is working to create an even more attractive opportunity for foreign businesses to succeed here.

Blame Quotes
If a square peg doesnt fit a round hole, neither the peg nor the hole is to blame. Between two people, the question "whose fault is it?" is the friend of argumentation and the destroyer of growth-oriented communication. Assigning blame involves listening to criticize and responding to defend, speaking to lower the other person rather than speaking to build each up. Relational progress is impossible as long as blame is the focus because blame and progress are enemies. In our litigation-hungry society we must take care that focusing on fault - which is proper for the courtroom - doesnt carry over into interpersonal relationships. The heart of loving communication is listening to understand.
-
Abandoned Quotes
If you abandoned yourself to that world and that character and that period surrounded by extras in the same period clothing and costumes and listening to that music all the time, you give in and you let that music become a part of your soul. Then you can live it and breathe it, which is really what I was trying to do.

Alive Quotes
I always thought I'd write about my dad, at some point, ... I didn't think it would be like this, but it arrived like this. I'd been listening to a lot of Garrison Keillor at the time. I love that simple story that ends on a grace note and you go, 'Wow, I'm just happy to be alive right now.' That was the feeling I was chasing.
