Sean Combs Quotes

Writing music is just something that I was born to do.

I've been writing and composing songs since I was 5 years old.

It's always been a gift with me, hearing music the way I do. I don't know where it comes from, it's just there and I don't question it.

I'm not musically inclined. It blows my mind that people can write music. I don't have that talent; I look up to the people that do.

I didn't write any music at all, and then, I remember Jon Anderson being very insistent saying that there were two kinds of musicians: the ones who wrote music and the ones who didn't.

I just scribbled away and eventually a C-major chord was there. I didn't ever decide I was going to be a composer. It was like being tall. It's what I was. It's what I did.

Any idiot who knows five chords can bang a song together. But it's probably going to be rubbish.

I've been writing songs since I was a little boy. You know, I think I wrote my first song when I was 11.

I love making music. I love being involved in arranging music. It's very natural to know what I want to hear next and come up with ideas that are variations of what might be good.

I started writing rhymes first and then put it to the music. I figured out I could lock it to the beat better if I heard the music first. I like to get a lot of tracks, put the track up and let the music talk to me about what it's about.

I don't actually have a lot of discipline. I've worked hard at music. But I feel like you know, I felt like kind of natural at it. I always had a knack for it.

My music is - I don't want to say my main focus, but it's what comes most naturally to me.

I've been writing songs since my teens.

I love music in general. It's like girls and their clothes and shoes; when you love shoes, you love shoes. So, for me, I think it's a really dangerous thing to say I'm going to write the best dance song in the world.

I can't be bothered anymore about giving songs titles.

I just do what I do. I like to make music.

All I've been trying to do all my life is to make great music.

As a songwriter, you try your best to write a good song, and you like nothing better than hearing a good song. It's easy to admire a great song, and you want to share out of enthusiasm.

There's always so much music around me now, it seems like everything has to be something with music, so in my spare time I try not to listen to anything. It's so hard for me to listen to something without trying to see a benefit in it: 'Maybe I'll make my own version of that track or maybe I'll do this or that.'

I like writing songs - I keep saying that one day I'll do something with them, but I haven't yet.

I'll try not to let a day go by without making a song. I don't think I've created a lot of music.

I did record a bunch of stuff, but the thing that usually stops me from doing that is that I'm a terrible singer. I made a bunch of instrumental music, and it feels really good, but just as a singer, I'm not good.

I've been interested in music since I was a teenager, always writing songs.

I know if I wasn't making music and acting, I would be involved in the performing arts world in some way. I would be either writing and making music for other artists or producing movies.

I can write music but I'm not much for words.
