Zitat des Tages von K. D. Lang:
The sky is an infinite movie to me. I never get tired of looking at what's happening up there.
I mean, I am fully aware of my influence and my responsibility to society in general representing the gay community. But in the same time, I don't represent the entire gay community because it's a vast, vast community, as one can imagine.
My public image is so low-key, but I get to travel the world and still have an audience and it's really amazing. I don't take that for granted.
It's just a theory really, but I have always thought that your physical surroundings can shape your voice and personality.
We're in a period where society seems very attracted to flash, and that seeps into people's musical taste.
Look. Art knows no prejudice, art knows no boundaries, art doesn't really have judgement in it's purest form. So just go, just go.
I sort of believe that my voice was preordained; I'm a Buddhist who believes in reincarnation so I think that my voice is a few lifetimes old.
I often say fame is kind of like a drug or like sugar: when it's controlling you it doesn't feel good at all.
I think I don't sing as hard as I used to sing. I used to kind of hit the accelerator a lot back in my youth, but now it's just being able to control it, and not work it so hard and use more of an emotional or sub textual kind of approach to singing.
You have to respect your audience. Without them, you're essentially standing alone, singing to yourself.
I just really allowed my muse to be my guide and I just go with whatever I'm feeling.
When women make their image about youth and sexuality, and not about intellect, that's kind of a dead-end road. So I think it's a combination of self-entrapment and entrapment by society.
I just try to speak passionately about things I'm involved in and moved by.
I wanted to write songs that would play themselves on stage, songs that sweep you through their current.
I think I have allowed my voice to experiment with the different genres. And I think that I have just really enjoyed the journey of getting to know my voice and seeing what it's capable of, what it's not capable of.
I think I have a better sense of my weaknesses - being self-important, selfish and having a big ego probably triggers all the other stuff. I can see myself more clearly.
I started singing when I was five. I grew up the youngest of four kids who all studied classical piano, so you could say I've been listening to music ever since the moment of conception.
I'm a singer and as long as I can sing - which, thank God, is something that I still seem to be able to do - I'd like to carry on making records.
If you knew how meat was made, you'd probably lose your lunch.
Television really has been my vehicle. I don't get played on the radio much, so I've relied on TV a lot.
I don't sing anything that hurts my voice.
I don't believe that human beings are necessarily monogamous.
Heartache is very fertile ground for song-making but so is happiness, so is absolute bliss.
I believe in monogamy if that's what a couple decides upon together, but it all depends on the personal history and culture of the two involved.
