More quotes by Bryan Ferry
It must be really hard to be starting out in music now.
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've done shows with orchestras, and I like writing with orchestras.
Bryan Ferry
In New York, you couldn't wish for a nicer audience, or in L.A., Chicago, Boston. But when you get into secondary markets, they don't have a clue.
Bryan Ferry
You can never get silence anywhere nowadays, have you noticed?
Bryan Ferry
Much as I love the northeast, I didn't want to spend my life there. I wanted to experiment. Savour everything you can while you're here! Touring, seeing the world... That in itself gives you a different perspective.
Bryan Ferry
It's good having a lot of different songs to choose from to do the show. It means you don't get bored of doing it in one particular genre.
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
I did some songs for Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby. I had done a jazz album of Roxy songs, and they used bits of it in the film. It would be nice to score a movie one day.
Bryan Ferry
You talk too much, you laugh too loud, and that's the price of love.
Bryan Ferry
Sometimes you're quite fortunate, being on the stage, getting to meet people like Salvador Dali.
Bryan Ferry
And Mary J. Blige, she's got all these fur coats and hats and stuff. She's good I like her.
Bryan Ferry
I can never predict what's going to happen.
Bryan Ferry
I like to think Duke Ellington would probably embrace a fragrance as well.
Bryan Ferry
Women! I have no idea. I don't know anything about women at all. They're a complete mystery to me.
Bryan Ferry
I very rarely play the piano at home. Deliberately, so that when I do play it, I love it.
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
I can't drink a wine if it has an ugly label.
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.
