Billy Sheehan Quotations

And no again: My studio is not a first or any step toward becoming any type of businessman on my part.

I'm a fan of many different styles of classical and symphonic music.

I love a lot of reggae, but Ive never had the opportunity to play with any reggae guys.

I've been an amature inventor for a long time.

It was also important for me to have a burning desire to achieve something worthwhile on that instrument, and I devoted many many many hours with little or no compensation to perfecting whatever I could, because I loved it so much.

I listened to many different types of instruments and music, and have always tried to look at the bass as an instrument as opposed to only a bass.

It's not art, it's science.

Be honest with yourself and the way you act when you hear music. That way, when people watch, they'll see something from your heart and soul, and as a result will communicate your feeling and thought much better.

I gave up a lot of things in exchange for my success.

I try to do my absolute best for the people who come see me play.
