Around the world Quote by Aubrey ODay
“Like many different people for many different reasons. U2 and Dave Mathews Band take chances with their music, represent a number of cultures and ideas with their sound, perform for their pure love of music, and have done nothing but try and aid others around the world, throughwww.data.org, etc. I love any musician that thinks outside of the box, takes chances, and isn't afraid of who they are and the decisions they make and trust me that is harder than it sounds!”

![“People with talent are not interested in showing off behind another person. They're more interested in the music. [Charlie Parker] was playing with me. That's the difference between the kind of musician I like to work with and singing with a musician who thinks he has to accompany me. That is so…” quote by Helen Merrill](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/478/helen-merrill-83326_accompany_people-with-talent-are-not-interested-in_437342.jpg)
