Famous quotes

« My mom had this romantic notion of her children playing classical music. The idea is you learn it when you're still learning language. It's using the same part of the brain. »
Andrew Bird
« Oh, stuff the critics. I don't care. Too many people are snooty about classical. Look, I wasn't brought up in a home where we listened to classical music. It was a singing teacher that thought it would be best for my voice. Then I moved into crossover. And if that makes the music accessible to more people, then great. »
Katherine Jenkins
« I'm not really involved with politics... I'm living in my cocoon with my classical music around. »
Eva Green
« I find that classical music helps put me in a place that is very calming and allows me to express emotion through my body. I played clarinet as a child, so I guess I have a bit of a musical ear. »
Diane Kruger
« I became a set designer for opera. I'm a great opera buff, I love classical music, and I needed a time-out. »
Maurice Sendak
