People's passion and desire for authenticity is strong.

Authenticity is the alignment of head, mouth, heart, and feet - thinking, saying, feeling, and doing the same thing - consistently. This builds trust, and followers love leaders they can trust.

I once wrote on my MySpace profile that music is never authentic. It was a reaction to constantly reading the word 'authentic' in connection with bands. But what does that mean? A baby crying after being pushed out of its mother's womb, now that's what I'd call authentic.

Being authentic can be a good thing in that often people who are fixated on that are also fixated on having very high standards, so they may maintain something they think has tremendous value. On the other hand, most of the kinds of music that I've been excited about are hybrid in their origins.

Authenticity is very important - be true to one's self.

I'll often use my real stuff in my writing because it comes across as more authentic.

The authenticity thing has never been an issue for me.

Authenticity is really important, and sometimes that's really hard to get.

Authenticity is key.
