More quotes by Bryan Ferry
I like lots of songs, and I find it quite interesting to do [cover songs] from time to time. My first solo hit was in 1973, the Dylan song “A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall.”
Bryan Ferry
I didn't really want to give up music.
Bryan Ferry
But when I started writing songs, I stopped painting completely, and the only art things I do are connected to the career, like album sleeves and, to some extent, posters and things like that.
Bryan Ferry
At home I don't really have any drum machines or anything like that, I just have a piano and a cassette machine, an old-fashioned one, an old relic which I've always used.
Bryan Ferry
And Mary J. Blige, she's got all these fur coats and hats and stuff. She's good I like her.

It must be really hard to be starting out in music now.
Bryan Ferry
While it's a great indulgence, it's also very interesting to have three bass players on the same track.
Bryan Ferry
I like to piece together different guitarists, unlikely bedfellows. You have Jonny Greenwood playing next to Nile Rodgers on the same track, so it becomes like an orchestra of sounds.
Bryan Ferry
I don't think I've ever played the Olympia before, but I'm not totally sure.
Bryan Ferry
You can never get silence anywhere nowadays, have you noticed?
Bryan Ferry
Words can be very powerful. I find them very difficult.
Bryan Ferry
It's fabulous when you do that, when you discover somebody who you like, when you kind of feel those feelings, even though he articulates them better.
Bryan Ferry
All those rappers, they're the only glamorous people working in music now. They dress up in these chains of gold, cars, girls and this and that, high-heeled shoes.
Bryan Ferry
I very rarely play the piano at home. Deliberately, so that when I do play it, I love it.
