Speech lessons probably did more for my singing voice - they teach you breathing, resonance.

But I'm not imaginative. I couldn't look into the future, like Star Wars or Robots or anything like that.

I've never been ambitious about recording.

I took speech training. I took a few voice lessons in college.

The band I've played with for 10 or 12 years now, we've been all over, but we mostly play in LA.

Speech lessons probably did more for my singing voice - they teach you breathing, resonance.

I've received a lot of compliments. People come right up to me on the street. They recognize me.

I just want to say, good night, sweet prince, may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

I play myself all the time, on camera and off. What else can I do?

Heisenberg, Max Plank and Einstein, they all agreed that science could not solve the mystery of the universe.

California is full of Mexican culture and Mexican music.

I sing and play guitar and harmonica. I've been doing it for a long time.

You want people to feel something when you tell a story, whether they feel happy or whether they feel sad.

I know little stories that happen to people around me, and I can repeat that in a way that has some color.

I really liked the Mariachi singing in Westerns.

You want people walking away from the conversation with some kernel of wisdom or some kind of impact.

I don't believe in singing lessons. You can sing or you can't.

I just want to say good night sweet prince may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Always end the day with a positive thought. No matter how hard things were tomorrows a fresh opportunity to make it better.

The most terrifying thing for most everybody in the whole Western World is to take responsibility for your own life and to experience real freedom.

When Frank the Pug is singing I Will Survive, the only reason it's funny is that Will is in that shot trying not to get angry. A shot of a dog singing I Will Survive on its own will not get a laugh.

My singing is my hobby. It's me and my brother. We just enjoy writing music.

You're gonna have to learn to get out there in front of those cameras and hold your head up. Take charge when you're singing.

I remember him watching me through the crack of a door singing with a hairbrush. I was in front of his mirror. I think he wanted me to sing. He would get me on the table and make me sing sometimes or play the piano. He was very encouraging on that front.

But enough joking. I am singing. This is all my life.

All my songs were solo voices. Just me singing. In fact, that was the gimmick - no gimmick. Just singing straight with not too much background.

Again, I say I will be glad to tell what songs I have ever sung, because singing is my business.

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.

In so many interviews, they bring up the sexual aspect of the record. I've had some journalists say it sounds like I'm lying down in bed singing with a microphone. It gets so old!

I love songwriting. It's second to my love for singing in how I express myself.

I hated singing. I wanted to be an actress. But I don't think I'd have made it any other way.

The Siren waits thee, singing song for song.

What comprises good performance? The ability through singing or playing to make the ear conscious of the true content and affect of a composition.

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.

They were singing, Gillette, the best a man can get, with a lot of guys hugging their fathers and sailing and riding bikes. I suddenly felt a long way from the best a man could get and I thought it would be nice to get from there to the best.
