I do believe in art and commerce coming together.

Men are shallow - we don't remember things like women do. Or we don't bring it up and blurt it out at inappropriate moments. When bridges are trying to be built, we don't detonate them.

Lots of people say it's the song. For me, it's not always the song - there's something bigger: the spirit of an artist.

There is very little genuine rock and roll out there at the moment - but Steve Conte has hit the nail on the head with this one!

I couldn't turn down The Rolling Stones. A real man would never turn down the chance of working with legends like them.

I really need to push myself and try my hardest every time, because I come from the premise that I'm not very good and I have to give my best. Otherwise, I don't deliver.

I can't make two records at the same time. Whatever I do, I have to concentrate on and put everything in, because if I don't, I'm just not good.

My personality is very good for nurturing. I'm very empathetic to my artists. You speak to anyone who's worked with me and they'll say, "Oh yeah, Steve's great. He doesn't have the ego."

For me, the singer is actually the most important element. When I work with someone, it all comes down to whether I like the singer or not.

I am not a rock producer. I don't see that. I once turned down Guns N' Roses. I don't like shouting. I'm a melody guy. I love great melody.

I am completely serious. When I decide to do something, I decide to really do it.

At this point, I realize: He is making a monster of me.

Sublimely mysterious and immeasurably powerful, is the stewardship that the sound of music can have over the soul.

We love the imperfect shapes in nature and in the works of art, look for an intentional error as a sign of the golden key and sincerity found in true mastery.

In moments of great uncertainty on my travels, I have always felt that something is protecting me, that I will come to no harm.

There are very few movies in English about romantic obsession told with a seriousness of purpose.

...we both saw something we liked, a willingness to have no walls, or maybe just an unwillingness to keep them standing.

I wanted the best for my company, I had to do what I did to succeed. Everyone was lowering their prices to beat there competition so I did the same I eventually beat my competition.

I actually love woodworking. I'm just getting into it. And I love playing guitar, I'm a big movie aficionado, and I like hiking.

If we are to be just like Jesus, we must have regular time of talking to God and listening to his Word.

I think George W. Bush's personality was overwhelmingly shaped in negative ways by his upbringing.
