Wyclef Jean
“I get like a melody that comes up and I try to write it down or record it. Hum it into a tape recorder or write it down on some manuscript paper. It could happen at any time, on the road or off the road, but mostly, you know, at home.”
Paul Taylor

“After I'd won the Melody Maker award, things were sort of confused. I was already with John, he was with Fleetwood Mac, and I was with Chicken Shack. We never saw anything of one another, so I left the band.”
Christine McVie
“There's something really amazing about the right word with the right note and the right melody. It's like pixie dust. I don't know what it is. But when you hit it, it's amazing. It's like this tingle goes up your spine. When you hear those songs out there that are amazing, it's because somebody has found the pixie dust. To be someone who sits around and gets to make that their work is a really cool way to spend a day.”
Darden Smith
“I'm a musician, and I'm fascinated with the effects of sound, and tone, and pitch and melody and all that sort of stuff. It's the first thing I have to solidify whenever I'm coming up - not 'coming up' with the character, because I never come up with them, the writer does that - whenever I get onto a character. The first thing I need to get sorted out before I can then move forward, before I can feel any confidence whatsoever, is the voice.”
Guy Pearce
