If I'm anything, I'm not a singer but I'm a song stylist.
I found once you start writing about God it's really fun. It's like a rock singer saying "baby. " "Baby, baby, baaayy-by. " You start saying "God" on the page and you don't want to stop.
Yes, I am a good singer.
I never said I wanted to be a singer for the rest of my life.
I find that, maybe because I'm also a singer, I hear music in characters all the time, even if they don't sing. I hear what affects me in my heart.
The Latin musical tradition is very rich and gives the singer a lot of freedom to explore a range of
I'm not really a good singer. But most people aren't, either.
I'm Opera Singer. I can sing Brecht, Weil.
I was a black singer with a white voice, a perfect pop voice.
When I go on the road now, which is less than before, but still more than I'd like to, I think of myself primarily as a singer. Not a songwriter, not a celebrity, just a man who likes to sing.
Had I lived in Norman and those bands hadn't existed, who knows where I'd be, I might be doing something awful; I might be a doctor, or a physicist or something. Having those kinds of experiences at 12. . . the Chainsaw Kittens had a flamboyant homosexual lead singer, and the Flaming Lips were obviously very weird. I had only listened to the radio before that - things like Willie Nelson - so having people say, "These are the bands around here that you should listen to," I was like "Ok, I guess this is what normal music sounds like. " That definitely changed things.
I know a lot of people who are 12 and doing things they shouldnt be doing. Whether youre an actress or a singer, its always the sexier ones that are selling more tickets or selling more albums.
I said to my teacher, 'I can't be a singer because I'm not pretty enough, and I'm fat. ' And she looked at me and said, 'Tell that to Nell Carter, babe. ' That changed my life forever!
I like to contribute. Even in my bands, I can't really just be the singer.
I love English rock music the best and have always been fascinated by The Clash, especially Joe Strummer, their singer.
I was always a bit of a showgirl; it was in my blood. I never thought I would have a career as a singer, though.
He came from a rock band and even though he was not a lead singer, I knew he was musical just from that. I also knew that he was intelligent enough from talking to him, that he would not play this part unless he could handle it vocally. I knew he was not about to get up there and have to have his voice dubbed or come off croaking. So Johnny Depp casted Johnny Depp. I trusted him entirely. I knew that he was no fool and he would only do it if he felt he could handle it. I told him to listen to the score carefully and if you can handle it, fine by me, and I was right.
My big brother still thinks he's a better singer than me.
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.
It's all about respect; he's looking for respect from his buddies. In the last one he just wanted to hang out, to be part of the group, but this time he wants more from his friends. And without giving the story away, he finally gets something that he has been looking for when the mini sloths kidnap him and take him to their tribal area. He gets to be the Fire King and they worship him and there is an amazing scene with a "call and response" sequence in the style of Cab Callow [the legendary American jazz singer and band leader] between him and his audience
