Beatles (John Lennon) - "Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it. If you were going to give Rock 'n' Roll another name you might as well call it Chuck Berry. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - Rock and Roll or Christianity."
Beatles (Ringo Star) - "Of course I'm ambitious. What's wrong with that? Otherwise you sleep all day. I love Beethoven, especially the poems."
Beatles (George Harrison) - "I don't want to be in the business full-time because I'm a gardener. I plant flowers and watch them grow. And so my music, it doesn't matter if I did it 20 years ago or if I did it tomorrow. It doesn't go with trends. My trousers don't get wider and tighter every six months. My music just stays what it is, and that's the way I like it."
B.B. King - "Eric Clapton - you know it's the Blues when he plays it. We all have idols. Play like anyone you care about but try to be yourself while you're doing so."
Bee Gees (Barry Gibb) - "We're so overground, we're underground."
Billy Joel - "I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music. A typical day in the life of a heavy metal musician consists of a round of golf and an AA meeting."
Bob Dylan - "It's not me, it's the songs. I'm just the postman, I deliver the songs. When I first heard Elvis' voice, I knew that I wasn't going to work for anybody ... hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail. This land is your land and this land is my land, sure, but the world is run by those that never listen to music anyway. People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. They are still being passed around - the music and the ideas."
Bob Marley - "I like Wagner's music much better than anybody's. It's so loud that one can talk the whole time without people hearing you. My music will go on forever. Maybe it's a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever."
Britney Spears - "I wish my hair was thicker, and I wish my feet were prettier. My toes are really ugly. I wish my ears were smaller. And my nose could be smaller too. Marry Prince William? I'd love that. Who wouldn't want to be a princess?"
Bryan Ferry - "I don't think I'm so much of a smoothie. I'm more of a rough-diamond type really. Secretly, I wanted to look like Jimi Hendrix, but I could never quite pull it off."
Buddy Holly - "Without Elvis, none of us could have made it."
