I don't think I'm the worst singer, but I don't think I'm the best singer.
I never had the influence of any other singer in my music, so I sounded like myself all the time.
I am an actress first, a singer second.
I just became a singer, because I could never get work as an actress.
I never thought I'd be on T.V. For me as a kid in Liverpool, it was a more realistic option to be a singer.
My parents being Bengali, we always had music in our house. My nani was a trained classical singer, who taught my mum, who, in turn, was my first teacher. Later I would travel almost 70 kms to the nearest town, Kota, to learn music from my guru Mahesh Sharmaji, who was also the principal of the music college there.
But I think it is more difficult to do a career as a lieder singer, and there have been less lieder singers.
I'm a singer, not a politician, and I think you don't want the two to get confused. It's not OK to be on CNN talking about people starving and then tell the interviewer that your new album is coming out in six months.
The Animals were their own worst enemy. The Animals were a band that couldn't live up to their name. I was the singer in the band and as long as I was enjoying myself I would keep on working with the band. But it got to be rather nasty once the big money showed up - things started to turn toxic.
The Butcherettes are led by a female singer, and they're sort of wild.
When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs.
I'm not a social singer. But if one can take a social message via the romantic, that's a strong statement.
When I first started writing songs, I never intended on singing. I didn't really consider myself a singer at all. I was just kind of recording the demo vocals as a holding place until someone else came and sang.
I would love to go into musicals. I got a chance to sing in 'Big Momma's House,' and that's something I would love to do more. But only in Broadway or in the movies. I don't think I would ever seek a career as a singer.
At the end of the day, a playback singer has to depend on live shows as their source of income.
Some people thought I was using my popularity as a singer to sell my first novel. For others, it was almost a sacrilege: a practitioner of a minor art daring to enter the field of high art.
My fame came from my success as a country music singer.
I've always wanted to be a singer and an actor. I will continue to concentrate on both because I love both.
There are people who'll dismiss me as 'just' a singer. That's how it is, how it's always been, but just because I'm not hunched over a piece of paper with a pen in my hand doesn't mean I'm not putting in the graft.
I always did plays. When I was in kindergarten, I got chosen to be Alvin in 'The Chipmunks.' We did a Chipmunks song. I was always a natural performer. It was easy for me. I danced and I sang, and all that stuff. I felt like I'd be something in the arts, but it vacillated between being a dancer and a singer, or whatever.
I'm not a blues singer, I'm a diva.
If you are a singer and you lose your voice, you realize that you have other skill sets when that is taken out of the equation.
I was not able to understand how it could be right to pay an actor, or a singer, or an instrumentalist for entertaining the public and wrong to pay a ball player for doing exactly the same thing.
I came from being a singer going into jazz. And that's one of the things that polio did for me is it took away my ability to sing with a range because it paralyzed my vocal chords, so that was when I started playing. But I hear the music as if I were singing even when I am playing.
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.'
As a child singer, I never sang a single track for my father or uncle.
For 'For Real,' where I play a singer who has to give up her passion for her husband and family, I practised singing for hours, in bathroom, in subways, though I am tone deaf.
Adele shattered the image of how the stereotypical singer is supposed to look. She has that whole 'Screw you, I'm awesome for what I do' attitude, which I really look up to and want to be a part of.
When I'm up on stage, I'm thinking more about my fans and about myself as a singer and an artist. When I'm at home being a daddy, the last thing I'm thinking about is being an artist. It is two things that I never really put together.
I came here knowing nobody. I worked clubs as a singer and even the doors a few times before I landed some TV roles.
That's the thing that we said about the horn before: it's a focus issue. It's like a singer versus a drummer. If a drummer's playing a drum beat, and a singer starts singing, what do you think the audience is going to do?
If you only ever heard Lady Gaga, she's the most boring singer in the world.
A lot of the people who saw me in the 'Lethal Weapon' movies didn't even know I was a singer.
I'm playing a powerhouse singer who is big competition, but she's also really down to earth and sweet. But the whole sweet thing goes away when she's in competition mode. I love the show, so I'm very excited to be a part of it. I'm going to kill it on 'Glee!'
I was an okay singer. I was an okay dancer. But acting? Never could do it.
Gaga is a gorgeous singer, and when she sings a great ballad, I get goose bumps.
