The thing with music education is that it is good at teaching technique, but not texture. You only learn about that from listening to music and experimenting on your own.

Learning is a result of listening, which in turn leads to even better listening and attentiveness to the other person. In other words, to learn from the child, we must have empathy, and empathy grows as we learn.

Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.

At the end of the day, I think people just need to start listening to their hearts and their gut feelings and their dreams, because that's what I did.

We must stop talking about the American dream and start listening to the dreams of Americans.

Follow your intuition, listening to your dreams, your inner voice to guide you.

I think it's very important to be mindful of your body and actually listen to it. If I'm craving a certain kind of food, I'll have, but I notice when I'm full. It's kind of like a logical diet. I think when people go on restrictive diets, they put too much stress on themselves, which might make them prone to bingeing.

I was a vegan for two years, and I really enjoyed it. Then, I got to a point in my life at which I wanted to do something else, so now I'm a vegetarian.

The truth of the matter is if we listened to our bodies and cleared our psychologies, we would inherently know what we need to do to stay healthy, and there wouldn't be a market for diet pills, extreme cleanses, or low-calorie, pre-packaged junk food.

Diet is weird. It's elusive. I just try to listen to my body.

Studying design has made me a much, much more astute observer of this aspect of business. And I'm working mightily to improve my empathic skills. I've dramatically improved my ability to read facial expressions - and I'm trying to be a better, more attentive listener.

The thing about dating someone who listens to a totally different genre than you is they can help you find things to appreciate in that genre.

I started dating JD Samson from Le Tigre, and suddenly I was listening to more up-tempo music and old dance music, like ESG and Gang of Four, and I thought, 'Wow. This is fun.'

To me, having the courage to tell your own story goes hand in hand with having the curiosity and humility to listen to others' stories.

My mother always taught us that if people don't agree with you, the important thing is to listen to them. But if you've listened to them carefully and you still think that you're right, then you must have the courage of your convictions.

There is great strength in vulnerability, as it takes courage to push through the fear and share one's true self with others. In music, that vulnerability really speaks to listeners as it connects with their own hearts.

I don't know how to function without music. When I'm not making it, I'm listening to it. It gives me courage and takes care of my mind.

Just remaining quietly in the presence of God, listening to Him, being attentive to Him, requires a lot of courage and know-how.
