Text Quotes
Oh, stuff the critics. I don’t care. Too many people are snooty about classical. Look, I wasn’t brought up in a home where we listened to classical music. It was a singing teacher that thought it would be best for my voice. Then I moved into crossover. And if that makes the music accessible to more people, then great.  (Singing Quotes) I was always singing and dancing for my mother when I wasn’t glued to the television watching I Love Lucy or the Carol Burnett Show.  (Singing Quotes) I guess at a certain point you think, well, singing is singing and acting is acting  (Singing Quotes) A person would have to change himself in order to be a living example of what he’s singing about.  (Singing Quotes) I never publicise in advance what I’m going to be singing because I never quite know until I start. I often change my mind halfway through. I sometimes throw in stuff about politics or Shakespeare or do songs in Yiddish.  (Singing Quotes) My aunt is the director of the acapella group Black Voices. I was so struck by them as a child. They sang with such passion and conviction. By the time I turned 15, I had plucked up the courage to ask if I could join the group. Acapella is a different discipline from singing with an accompaniment - it is much more exposed.  (Singing Quotes) If I could perform on stage with any musical act or performer, it would be Sugar Ray, just to fulfill my childhood dream of singing with Mark McGrath.  (Singing Quotes) Stuff like Buena Vista Social Club and Fela Kuti were quite a main thing to my childhood. As soon as I reached an age where I realized that Fela was singing in English, when I got past his accent, I loved the rawness of it, and the funk and the rhythm and the melody.  (Singing Quotes) My father’s a deacon, my mother’s a choir director, so I grew up in the church and singing in the choir, begging my mom if I could have a solo.  (Singing Quotes) But now I have learned to listen to silence. To hear its choirs singing the song of ages, chanting the hymns of space, and disclosing the secrets of eternity.  (Singing Quotes) The youth choir is up onstage now, in flowing white gowns, and they’re singing something in the key of goose-bumps.  (Singing Quotes) I didn’t like to be restricted, because when you’re in a choir, you have a part to sing and you sing it. I always liked singing on my own.  (Singing Quotes) Well, I loved singing in the chorus, and there was some connection for me between gospel and choral music.  (Singing Quotes) There is nothing better - nothing - than knowing that the risen Christ lives right now in heaven, singing over his people - singing over me - with love.  (Singing Quotes) The Christmas parties were orgies of drinking and singing and groping and pawing. Cartoon staffers invested their own money in preparatory liquor.  (Singing Quotes) With a track like ‘White Christmas,’ everybody has done that song in every format you can imagine, so I just looked at the chords at that particular song and what chords would make it work. That’s kind of quite a sad song, and I had this idea of someone singing it in the subway, someone who is homeless, old and sad.  (Singing Quotes) I hadn’t been exposed to music except in church. They used to have me singing a solo when I was five years old.  (Singing Quotes) We have a tendency to sugar coat the Civil Rights movement by showing arm in arm and everyone singing ‘Kumbaya’. We don’t really always show the resistance from the government, the resistance from the status quo, from the majority to silence the movement.  (Singing Quotes) I don’t want anything to get in the way of me and my singing. I want my mind as clear as possible.  (Singing Quotes) Playing the ukulele and singing is a fantastic stress reliever. So is cleaning! Scrubbing away at the dirt helps clear my mind as well.  (Singing Quotes) Singing as a full-time job was not something I had given a lot of thought to and I had no clear notion of the money to be made in it.  (Singing Quotes) Don and I are infamous for our split, but we’re closer than most brothers. Harmony singing requires that you enlarge yourself, not use any kind of suppression. Harmony is the ultimate love.  (Singing Quotes) The closest thing to Roseanne Barr’s singing the national anthem was my cat being neutered  (Singing Quotes) As a child, I always wanted to be the last one to take a bath because I knew I could close the door and spend hours just having my bath and singing.  (Singing Quotes) For those two years in college I was constantly singing and writing and playing in coffee houses and stuff.  (Singing Quotes) I sang in the coffee houses . . . in the early 60’s with no idea of success in terms of records or television. I just thought I was a storyteller. I had this deep, bassy voice. But I had incredible passion for the music I was singing.  (Singing Quotes) What happened was, I always wanted to be a singer/songwriter kind of guy like a James Taylor or Crosby, Stills and Nash type of thing; I went to a lot of coffee houses and used to watch all those guys, but I never had the nerve to get up and do it because singing seems so personal and intimate to me. It was too revealing.  (Singing Quotes) I had some great mentors as I was coming up and starting to sing so early - I’ve been singing since I was four.  (Singing Quotes) I had some great mentors as I was coming up and starting to sing so early - I’ve been singing since I was four. I had people telling me how to preserve myself.  (Singing Quotes) I like to express certain things that happen in my life, the joy of spring, the birds singing and young babies coming into the world. You know, the whole thing as well as the part I’m not happy with, the sad part.  (Singing Quotes)
