But these days, it's hard to make it just on a beautiful voice.

But these days, it's hard to make it just on a beautiful voice.

It used to be that Nashville would work to develop promising artists.

There was a time when country never used to do videos.

So many singers want to act, and so many actors try to sing.

All I ever want to do is what I am: a singer.

You have to be committed or you fall behind, lose out.

You're either in it for the long haul or you're not.

Now so many really good groups who have had a first major hit can't get a deal for a second one.

Country is not what you heard on the Grammys.

Staying focused is hard work and staying married is even harder.

Well, maybe surf one time; I think it would be fun to catch a wave just once.

Women have to show that tummy to stay noticed.

Nashville used to have more integrity than just looking at the bottom line.

Music is universal; it's healing.

When my dad died, I developed a nervous habit. He was very shy and quiet, and I was like him.

You have to be committed or you fall behind lose out.

My favorite singer to this day is Nat King Cole. I've tried to emulate his phrasing. It is so absolutely beautiful to listen to his lovely voice.

I grew up in this town, my poetry was born between the hill and the river, it took its voice from the rain, and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests.

You get a heck of a sound from the church. Can't you hear it in my voice?

The more excited the rooster gets, the higher his voice goes. He's got a little bit of a Barney Fife quality to him.

You'd have a good voice, if it ever came out of your throat.

I love listening to Radio Head's 'Everything in its Right Place' because it's all major chords, it makes you feel really good. It's soothing, it's got a beautiful voice, crazy textures. When I'm down I listen to that song and it really makes me feel good.

One needs a Seer's Vision and an Angel's voice to be of any avail. I do not know of any Indian man or woman today who has those gifts in their most complete measure.

It was he who impressed, time and again, the necessity of singing as nature intended, and - I remember - he constantly warned, don't let the public know that you work. So I went slowly. I never forced the voice.

We tune down a full step when we play but I never miss a note. I've learned how to keep my voice.

While Kuwait is not a democracy, giving only half the population a voice in their government is not a policy this Congress should support and one that I am glad that Kuwait's leaders are changing.

There's plenty for me to do. There are more albums. I'll record as long as I can and as long as my voice works as well as it does now and for as long as people want to hear me.

I worked on my voice for Sweet Dreams, but only to match my speaking voice to Patsy's actual singing voice. That was my way into that character.

John the Baptist was supposed to point the way to the Christ. He was just the voice, not the Messiah. So everybody's calling has dignity to it and God seems to know better than we do what is in us that needs to be called forth.

I found my voice was a reaction to all that voice stuff.

It is not the voice that commands the story: it is the ear.

When on the set of a film, you have to play natural for entire scenes in a very unnatural environment. You have to express emotions and interact with other actors and also use your voice.

That's one strength that Stevie has. She's really not a strong instrumentalist in any way. Her instrument is her voice and her words. And it keeps her focused on the very center of that.

But when they offered this little situation for me to do this voice in this special segment, I found it so incredibly humorous that I said yes, and I enjoyed it. It was fun.

I get a lot of recognition for my voice. That always surprises me.

I think women have an innate ability to be intuitive with people that they truly love, but they have to trust that inner voice, and I think it is there. I think we are more intuitive than men.

Dysphonia is not a singing problem. It's a voice box issue in the muscle on the voice, very different from having a nodule on the vocal cords, which I've never had. I'm lucky that I've never had that. It needs a long renewal time, and even today, I am still addressing it.

I love opera, I love writing for the voice, I love telling stories with music.

We women must listen to our inner voice. It is easier for women to do this as they are not afraid to say what they feel.

His voice leads us not into timid discipleship but into bold witness.

The prophets, who were very many, proclaim and declare the one God; for, being filled with the inspiration of the one God, they predicted things to come, with agreeing and harmonious voice.

Churchill knew the importance of peace, and he also knew the price of it. Churchill finally got his voice, of course. He stressed strategy, but it was his voice that armed England at last with the old-fashioned moral concepts of honor and duty, justice and mercy.

The ego constantly competes with the spirit for control over your inner voice.

At the beginning, it was me, Run and D, but D's voice is messed up.

The whole point in developing your own style is to find your own voice.
