A singer for me is more like someone who is standing alone with a microphone like Scott Walker, rather than someone who is bashing a plank and is spitting all over a microphone.
Graham Coxon

A singer starts by having his instrument as a gift from God... When you have been given something in a moment of grace, it is sacrilegious to be greedy.
Marian Anderson

Above all, I am an opera singer. This is how people will remember me.

Alison Krauss is definitely my favorite singer that's ever lived. I've never heard anyone like her.
Brad Paisley

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

All the intelligence and talent in the world can't make a singer. The voice is a wild thing. It can't be bred in captivity. It is a sport, like the silver fox. It happens.
Willa Cather

America? They had a good girl singer, Janis Joplin.
Maurice Gibb

Americans are crazy. They have this fascination with throwing their shoes on stage. I've been to a lot of shows in me life, some good and some bad. But I was never moved to take off me shoes and throw it at the lead singer.
Noel Gallagher

And he was going to give me a song, because I'm a singer and I wanted to sing in everything.
Sally Kellerman

Around 5th and 6th grade I thought Dean Martin was the coolest guy in the world; he was a great singer, had his own television show and acted in movies.

Artie is a singer, and I'm a writer and player and a singer. We didn't work together on a creative level and prepare the songs. I did that.

As a singer I tried on all these hats, these voices, these clothes, and eventually out came me.
Carly Simon

As a singer, I might have fallen among thieves. I wonder if I'd still be alive by now.
Ben Kingsley

As a singer, the biggest joy I have are the arrangements.
Mel Torme

As Buddy Rich, for instance, broke into the business at the age of three, I think it was, on drums, so indeed did I break into the business at the age of four as a singer.
Mel Torme

Barry is an incredible singer. He's even gotten better through the years.
Cynthia Weil

Because I came out as a singer, I took the time to get an acting coach.

Becoming a solo singer is like going from an eau de toilette to a perfume. It's much more intense.

Being a singer is a natural gift. It means I'm using to the highest degree possible the gift that God gave me to use. I'm happy with that.
