David Gilmour (1946) guitarist, singer, best known as a member of Pink Floyd
As quoted in Sounds : Guitar Heroes (May 1983)
Context: My technique is laughable at times. I have developed a style of my own, I suppose, which creeps around … I don't have to have too much technique for it. I've developed the parts of my technique that are useful to me. I'll never be a very fast guitar player. I don't really know what to say about my style. There's always a melodic intent in there.
“I suppose being right will have to compensate me for being poor—the story of my life, I fear.”

Ysabella Brave (1979) American singer
"A Word or Two" (20 February 2007) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGEsRXlMT0s <br class="br">Context: Many people have said since the beginning — actually, all my life — "don't you suppose you were born in the wrong era — the wrong time?" Well, I don't think so at all! Because, don't you see, I can come into your home, in your office, and wherever you are, and sing to you these silly songs. And I'm just a simple lady, and I can show you how much I love you very much, and share these feelings with you. And I don't know that could have been done really this way at any other time. So I think that I was born at just the right time — wouldn't you say?
