Singers Quotes

I think I’m inspired mostly by other artists that aren’t actors, like writers or singers or artists, for being so brave Picture Quote #1

I think what makes the Byrds stand up all these years is the basis in folk music. Folk music, being a timeless art form, is the foundation of the Byrds. We were all from a folk background. We considered ourselves folk singers even when we strapped on electric instruments and dabbled in different things Picture Quote #1

The best thing I ever learned from my dad was he knew he wasn’t the best of singers, but he always knew he was a great entertainer, and I always thought that was a good concept to bring along, that ultimately acting is an entertainment art and you have to be aware of the fact that you want people to be excited to be watching you Picture Quote #1

I’ve been lucky, because people have done such great versions of my songs, and I’ve worked with the best singers ever, and I’m lucky that way Picture Quote #1

You get better as an actor over time if you’re growing. Like singers Picture Quote #1

My trade is a lonely one. I’m a craftsman, if you like. It so happens that these days singers are better paid than blacksmiths Picture Quote #1

There have always been female artists and singers putting bands together all the time. But we were not always getting credit for that because we didn’t know any better Picture Quote #1

If you look at the other singers of Billie Holiday’s time, they were really trying to entertain. They were trying to make people feel good. They were singing fast - and she was singing the blues Picture Quote #1

I love Ray Charles. He can still teach everybody a lot about how to make great music. Not necessarily how to make hits, but how to make great music. Of course, part of it is his incredible talent. Who are the greatest jazz singers in the world? Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday and Ray Charles Picture Quote #1

They’re great instrumentalists, singers and songwriters and they have this unique way of blending contemporary with traditional. The result is this beautiful mix of timeless music Picture Quote #1

It’s been a joy to be a part of other people’s journey, to be able to inspire and be a part of new singers coming up in this business Picture Quote #1

I studied the lives of jazz singers who would tour Europe, and... what I learned was life was big ride for them. They’d seen the dark side of humanity... but touring the world playing jazz, it was a truly carefree way of living. A great escapism, if you like Picture Quote #1

I come from a school of people, folk singers, and the tradition there is troubadours, and you’re carrying a message. Now admittedly, our job is partly just to make you boogie, just make you want to dance. Part of our job is to take you on a little voyage, tell you a story Picture Quote #1

I would advise all young musicians to not only experience and play chamber music, but to go to operas, speak to the singers, to explore and expand your horizons Picture Quote #1

Yea... It’s impossible to lead with true virtues if you surround yourself with praise singers... people who do not cheer you up, instead of cheering up your dreams! Picture Quote #1

There is such a place as fairyland - but only children can find the way to it...until they have grown so old that they forget the way. Only a few, who remain children at heart, can ever find that fair, lost path again...The world calls them singers and poets and artists and story-tellers; but they are just people who have never forgotten the way to fairyland Picture Quote #1

I grew up in eastern Kentucky, and we would sing in the churches, and there’s lots of good mountain church singers out there. Like a lot of folks who turn out to be secular music artists, that’s a lot of the training you put in, whether you know it or not Picture Quote #1

Sit peacefully in a church and think of church history: witchburning perhaps, or child abuse, genocide, the amassing of disgusting wealth, the repression of women, inquisitions, castrating child choir singers, the denial of Santa Claus and the support of fascists in power Picture Quote #1

I grew up with singers. My father’s mother sang opera. My dad was a big band singer. I can’t remember a time there wasn’t music in the house, so I grew up listening to great songwriters - George Gershwin, Cole Porter - and my grandma was playing opera for me before I was 3 Picture Quote #1

I always thought competition was for horse races and it never belonged in art. I never felt that competitive with other girl singers, really Picture Quote #1

I think if you look back at the lead singers that left groups that didn’t make it, you’ll see that a lot of them were songwriters like Lionel Richie. I mean, they were able to control their own destiny Picture Quote #1

George Jones is country soul. Once this kind of music sits in you and you take it all, it reaches down into your soul. George Jones to me was one of the most soulful singers of any genre. That drew me to his music. He knew how to present a song without really thinking about it Picture Quote #1

There are many singers who have got an exceptional talent, but spend their lives singing in local trains or hotels. Does the country even know who they are? Music in India is restricted only to Bollywood. Whoever manages to make a mark there is remembered. The ones who fail to reach and make it big there are forgotten Picture Quote #1

I’m from Michigan, but I’m just as country as anyone else. Maybe I don’t have the speaking voice of most country singers, but it is what I love. It’s how I’ve always sung, and it’s what I grew up on Picture Quote #1

I used to read the criticism on blogs about other people - mostly female actresses and singers - and even when they are extremely perfect and harmless, people still go after them. So I figure, if I’m going to get negativity regardless, why do I have to worry about what somebody thinks of me? Picture Quote #1

It used to be that film stars didn’t want to do TV, and actors weren’t singing, and singers weren’t acting. Everybody’s kind of crossing over to whatever they want to do. So I feel like, if you have it, use it. If God’s given you this talent, then use it Picture Quote #1

I never socialized with singers. It’s very dangerous if you work with opera... I don’t think that in 30 years a singer has entered my apartment Picture Quote #1

Some have called we rock and roll performers who never retire ‘troubadours.’ I enjoy this misnomer immensely. While there are many differences between me and my distant predecessors in L’Occitane, I do believe there is a lineage that connects us of the last 70 years with those romantic singers of the High Middle Ages Picture Quote #1

A singer has got a different attitude, they’re they’re so whacked out they don’t know what they’re doing half the time. Singers, they don’t, they’re spoiled too Picture Quote #1

We singers have a different level of responsibility from other musicians. We have words that we must convey; we have meanings that we must convey through these lyrics Picture Quote #1
