A singer starts by having his instrument as a gift from God. . . When you have been given something in a moment of grace, it is sacrilegious to be greedy.
A singer is someone who puts out an album. That's a very generous description.
I'm not a soldier for anything, either. I'm only a singer and I don't think it makes a difference what we sing.
I'm a country singer. I love all kinds of music, but country is where my loyalty lies. That's just me and what I do, and I'm not going to change it.
I love Adele. That's a lead singer; that's the real deal.
I'm trying to be a singer, not a civil rights leader.
I never thought of myself as a good singer.
I never saw myself as a folk singer.
Yeah. . . I was a singer as a kid. I had a lot of stage fright, and what's happened with "Idol," it has got me past so much of that.
God made me a singer, and I just sang.
I kept saying that I want to be a singer, singer, singer. Someone told me, "Noooo, you move as an actress!" I believe that happens to a lot of people. People have a multiplicity of gifts, but I think people in your life are telling you which one you should focus on. I just got done talking with my group of water walkers about this. If you focus on one of your gifts, that one gift will be the catalyst to open up opportunities for the other gift.
That's when I knew I wanted to be a singer and an actress.
How could I have been a wife, a mother and a singer? Who takes care of the piccolini when you go around the world? Your children would not call you Mama, but Renata.
My mother was an amateur singer, my father was an amateur drunk.
So I'm truly an actor who sings, and not a singer who acts.
There is no prodigy in our profession. If you see all the great singer of the past, none of them are.
A song is a favorite song, not because the singer can hit and hold a high note, but because of the words, their meaning.
I looked at myself, and I just said, well, you know, I can sing but I'm not the greatest singer in the world. I can play guitar very well, but I'm not the greatest guitar player in the world. And so I said, well, if I'm going to project an individuality, it's going to have to be in my writing.
I was born a singer. I need to do that.
Ever since grammar school, I knew I wanted to be famous - I always wanted to be a singer.
