Perhaps when music has been shouting for so long, a quieter voice seems attractive.

Everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud.

I don't know what silence sounds like anymore.

A lot of artists don't like the sound of their voice. They're put off by it.

Some persons talk simply because they think sound is more manageable than silence.

I had problems getting my words out. If people spoke directly to me, I understood what they said. But when the grownups got to yakking really fast by themselves, it just sounded like 'oi oi.' I thought grownups had a separate language. I've now figured out I was not hearing the hard consonant sounds.

One of the greatest sounds of them all - and to me it is a sound - is utter, complete silence.

Most people have to talk so they won't hear.

I just want to sound different than everyone else. I don't care if it sounds bad. I just want people to be like, 'Yo, that dude Benny was different.' Even if it sounds awful, at least they can't say, 'Oh well, I've heard that before.'

These days people wallow in enormous masses of sound.
