"You know, all my songs are relatives, brothers, sisters, cousins." ― David Coverdale Topic(s): Music More From David Coverdale "When certain bootleg companies started off and they would take maybe ten per cent of whatever they got and help fuel new bands, which I’m cool with, I think that’s a good idea. Most of the record companies are not doing that." "When I was very, very young, seven years old, I heard there was school where you could go to learn to draw. That was my absolute driven passion, to become an artist or a painter. So the romantic realist in me, I studied to be a graphic design artist and an art teacher." "I would hope it’s better, but I’m actually acknowledging now that I want to explore all these levels from a whisper to a scream with this gift I’ve been given." More In Music "If you think my music is sentimental and self-absorbed, I agree with you."― James Taylor "Music is a performance and needs the audience."― Michael Tippett "Pop is a little bit theatrical. That’s the whole vibe. That’s the point – is that it’s great music, great melodies, great hooks. But, on top of it, it’s a presentation. There’s a showmanship about it. And that’s why I wanted to be a pop star."― Adam Lambert
