Probably the No. 1 most important thing in my music is not to sound like anyone else. It is hard in this day and age.

Music used to change people's minds - and it still changes mine.

There's only one band that could ever even pretend to assume the mantle of what the Beatles did, who have been so pre-eminent and world-dominating that they could effect a paradigm shift in the culture, who have been willing to leverage their success into musical change, and that is U2 - regardless of what the result of that is.

— Todd Rundgren

Before I wasn't sure what I wanted to say, but now, I have had so many different experiences that they have given me what I want to get across in my music.

— Hilary Duff

Some people lose sense of what their music was when their life starts to get better.

I'm still digging long-established bands like U2 - they're new to me!

— Ronnie Wood

I think that every band tries to mature their sound through their existence, you know?

— Adam Rich

Now U2's not my favorite band, but I do respect them, and in the same way I respect Bowie: They change without fear of change.

— Trent Reznor
