“I was never successful in a noteworthy way, no one wrote about me, and I didn't have recognition. I've met a lot of musicians along the way who thought I was good, and they knew that was important to me. Having a simple career as a musician who liked music was good enough for me.” WayImportantEnoughSimpleCareersSuccessfulMetsMusicianRecognitionGood Enough Author:Lana Del Rey

“I would be happy if I could meet some musicians interested in different acoustics and traditional music. Maybe I will find some Native American or Latin tunes. Anything. Even maybe a great heavy metal guitar player or drummer, and we can do something wild together. My next step is making more music without formats or borders. Not just simple songs or doing covers, but music with more ideas. I think it will again be a synthesis with something else.” ThinkingDifferentTogetherSongSimplePlayerMusicianNativeLatinMetalsNative AmericanDrummerGuitar PlayerHeavy Metal Author:Albert Kuvezin
“If I'm not like my characters, I think just it's like a musician liking to play certain pieces of music rather than others. I just have more satisfaction when playing complicated things rather than some of your more straightforward, simple moments. . . . I like to be challenged.” ThinkingMomentsCharacterSimpleMusicianComplicatedStraightforward Author:Elisabeth Moss
“Ironically, I must admit that I have an easier time (myself) playing games that are really simple and non-realistic - like the games I grew up with in the 80's - I tend to get lost and confused when the games get too complex! But I enjoy watching people who are good at playing games. I really enjoy playing games like Guitar Hero, where you feel like you're a great musician even if you're not.” PeopleEnjoySimpleLike YouHeroMusicianConfusedGreat Music Author:Mark Walton
“In general, the musicians we met that made the most sense just said to do what feels right and try not worry about what other people think. I know that sounds stupid and simple. I feel like Neil Young has done that and he's still making albums. He's one of the people I really look up to as someone who has kind of stuck to their guns their whole career. Just making music for music.” PeopleThinkingTryingKindDoneSimpleWorryStupidMusicianGunStuckLook Up Author:Andrew VanWyngarden

“It is true, of course, that there is no way of knowing for sure whether or not you can trust someone, for the simple reason that circumstances change all of the time. You might know someone for several years, for instance, and trust him completely as your friend, but circumstances could change and he could become very hungry, and before you knew it you could be boiling in a soup pot, because there is no way of knowing for sure.” KnowsWayYearsReasonMightCoursesChangeSimpleKnowingTrustCircumstancesMusicianHungryInstanceNovelistsPotSoupBoiling Author:Daniel Handler
