Biggest Quotes
What's important is that people realize that I can't be put into a box musically. I've studied all forms of music; I know probably more Jay-Z songs than the biggest Jay-Z fan. I've studied R. Kelly to the Isley Brothers to Stevie Wonder to Sting and Sade. You don't have one personality every day. You don't have one mood.

Acts Quotes
My real musical discovery started when I was 10 with Stevie Wonder and the Jackson 5, and acts that I connected with because they were young when they were doing it, like me. Then I kind of came into my own a couple of years later; I found new artists that shaped my musical landscape. For instance, Kings of Leon played a big part in that.

Adequate Quotes
I think there are always people who, when they get the bug to play an instrument, they want to get as good as they can with it rather than just be simply adequate at it. You run into them every once in a while - some kid who wants to be the next Stevie Ray Vaughan, for whatever reason, and plays exactly like him.

Asked Quotes
Several years ago, I was asked by a songwriter's association to go to Nashville - I think it involved some kind of award - and be part of the showcase. It was myself and Stevie Winwood and Michael McDonald and then some country people that I didn't know. The whole community was just so welcoming to me.
-
Brass Quotes
I was the first artist, I think, to ever do an all-keyboard album. There were things that resembled it, like Stevie Wonder. A lot of his stuff was on keyboards, but he used brass and he used other things as well. I was the first artist, also, to use drum machines. I was really the one who kind of started that whole thing.
-
Added Quotes
I thought we played really great in the first half, but the team seemed to fall apart in the second. I was proud of the ending results though. Stevie Dellinger did really well with her two goals and assist; it really added to the game. Evelyn Palacios did great keeping the goal at crucial points during the match.

Began Quotes
Page was really hands-on with us. He would be listening to what we were playing and then have us listen to other music to get us inspired. He put in a Stevie Wonder tape and we were like, 'What does this have to do with us?' But after we listened to it for a while, we began to see how things could come together in harmonies and rhythm.

Backstage Quotes
I was backstage at the House of Blues in L.A where I was about to perform, and Stevie Wonder and Prince turned up at my dressing room together! Stevie started beat boxing and Prince started singing one of my songs, all of a sudden it was like I was in a cypher with these incredible artists.

Booty Quotes
What I'm trying to be is a missing link in the music industry today, ... There's not a lot of positive messages in music today. You hear a lot about shaking your booty and guns. You don't hear a lot of Stevie Wonder. I'm motivated to make a difference in the world and encourage youth to be who they are.

Alex Quotes
what came from Manchester; Stevie Winwood and Spencer Davis were the Birmingham contingent and then from the North we had The Animals, Eric Burdon -- and further up north was the Alex Harvey Band from Scotland. We all converged on London, we all had our own different styles, and it just became the London melting pot, really.

Beatles Quotes
First off our father was our biggest influence. He showed us all the songs that we needed, that we learned from. He played us every Beatles tune, every Elvis Presley tune Richie Valens,Ronny Millsap, Willie Nelson Anything that you can name ...Everything old, nothing new. Everything was old, about the only thing new I can think of is like, you know, probably like Stevie Ray and Santana and stuff. You know, they're old but they came later.
-
Adam Quotes
Adam is kind of a combination of his two brothers. He's on the smaller side like Stevie was when he first started, but he's a physical kid and a physically hard worker in the weight room like Ryan. He can be physical on the mat like Ryan, but he's more of a slick wrestler like Stevie. He can use his feet to be slick or be pretty powerful.

Anyone Quotes
Darius has a high, gorgeous voice. He's also handsome and young. With that all going on, one day Darius will be a big star. When the idea of an evening dedicated to Stevie Wonder was first proposed, however, my reaction was skeptical at best. But then Darius performed the program at New York's Lincoln Center and got raves. Typically, we seek out and develop unique programs, nothing that anyone has ever heard before, so the Steve Wonder program is unusual for Moab. Had it been performed more than once, we probably would not have considered it.
-
Chill Quotes
Stevie writes ethereal mystical lyrics, but the moment I write words like that, I get this chill up my spine, kind of getting embarrassed and not feeling sincere about it. But if you're sincere, you can write anything you like. In this stage of my musical life I don't feel honest doing that.
-
Dirty Quotes
Stevie is the perfect example of somebody who is one guy off the field and on the field he's a completely different person. He's usually a fairly passive, relaxed kind of guy, but on the field he can be a dirty little player. ... He's not always the one to kick first, but he'll get after you if it's an even game.

Deepest Quotes
Stevie always has impeccable timing. The world is hungering more than ever right now for the kind of message only he can deliver. I speak for the entire Universal Music Group when I say nobody can illuminate our greatest hopes, soothe our deepest fears, and put us on the musical high road like Stevie Wonder.
