Patrick Carney I really don’t have an ear for pitch. I can’t sing at all, I can’t hum melodies and I can’t write riffs. – Patrick Carney
Neha Sharma I want to do good work. The first failure affected me. That is why I did ‘Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum.’ – Neha Sharma
Mohnish Bahl In fact, if you remove the Rajshri Productions’ works from my list of films, what do I have left? By itself you take any of the three, which I have done ‘Maine Pyaar Kiya,’ ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun!,’ ‘Hum Saath Saath Hai.’ For a character actor, any one would have been enough. – Mohnish Bahl

Kamasi Washington When I was younger, I’d be walking down the street and suddenly panic because I had a cool idea and no way of getting it down – I’d have to sing it all the way home. Now I can hum it into my phone. – Kamasi Washington
Johnny Gimble When I’d hear something that sounded like I could follow it – most of those big band jazz tunes are blues anyway – I would hum it and play with the fiddle while I was humming. – Johnny Gimble
Johnny Flynn The truth is there’s always a hum of people playing folk music in cities. – Johnny Flynn
James Ingram The first time you hear a song you might not remember the words, but you can go to the record store and hum the melody. The story almost becomes secondary. – James Ingram
James Gleick In the 1920s, a generation before the coming of solid-state electronics, one could look at the circuits and see how the electron stream flowed. Radios had valves, as though electricity were a fluid to be diverted by plumbing. With the click of the knob came a significant hiss and hum, just at the edge of audibility. – James Gleick
