More quotes by Ian Anderson
It might work with one orchestra, and the next orchestra - the oboe player might not get it. It's different every time, but some of the orchestras do end up enjoying it and having a great time.
Ian Anderson
A lot of pop music is about stealing pocket money from children.
Ian Anderson
As a musician, life is not over just because you are getting older, and so I find retirement a very frightening and dark thought.
Ian Anderson
I can never make up my mind if I'm happy being a flute player, or if I wish I were Eric Clapton.
Ian Anderson
It was instilled in me that the money I was given was not to be lost or spent on any other purpose.
Ian Anderson
If Jesus Christ came back today, He and I would get into our brown corduroys and go to the nearest jean store and overturn the racks of blue denim.
Ian Anderson
It's nice to be recognized, but it's not great to have it too conspicuously recognized, if you see what I mean. Gold records on the wall, or titles after your name, it's just not something... I don't feel that great about it.
Ian Anderson
There's always going to be a little bit of autobiographical content to everything. It's how you lend some authority to what you write - you give it that weight by drawing on your direct experiences and indirect experiences from people that you know well, or a little.
Ian Anderson
As a songwriter, you tend to develop your own style, your own technique, based around what it is you're trying to write and perform, in terms of your own music. So a way of evolving a guitar style as a songwriter is much easier, I think, than developing a true style of your own just from listening to music or playing other people's music.
Ian Anderson
I don't think people really do listen. We plug into music, and we have short attention spans. We tend to download individual tracks from iTunes rather than a whole album. We buy music DVDs and watch them once, and then they disappear into a drawer, or we loan them to a friend, and we never watch it again.
Ian Anderson
In most cases, my favorite Jethro Tull songs will be determined by how I feel about them as live performance songs, not by the recorded identity.
Ian Anderson
It's only the giving that makes you what you are.
Ian Anderson
I make up my own mind in light of available facts, with my own experience and a sense of personal ethics.
Ian Anderson
Oh father high in heaven - smile down upon your sonWho's busy with his money games - his women and his gun.
Ian Anderson
Question all as to their ways and learn the secrets that they hold
Ian Anderson
Classical music only really came into my life in 1969. I wish I had heard classical music and church music when I was a teenager or even as a child.
Ian Anderson
I feel the audience has a right to know if some of the money they're spending is going to a certain cause, and reassuring them the money is going to where it's supposed to be going.
Ian Anderson
I'm really terrible with small children they're small, noisy, irritating, damp and soggy.
Ian Anderson
All the time I was playing the flute, the lines, the solos, the riffs, the construction, were based on my guitar skills. I did not play the flute to exploit its natural faculties, but I used it as a surrogate guitar.
Ian Anderson
The original Jethro Tull was a 19th century English agriculturist who invented a seed drill you see. The first automatic process where by small holes were made in Mother Earth and even smaller seeds were deposited one at a time and neatly covered over as a cat does after having being naughty.
