Singer Quotes

I never saw myself as a folk singer.
Bob Dylan

I like the bad-boy types. Generally the guy I'm attracted to is the guy in the club with all the tattoos and nail polish. He's usually the lead singer in a punk band and plays guitar. But my serious boyfriends are relatively clean-cut, nice guys. So it's strange.
Megan Fox

Nice, Strange, Guitar

What I mean is that none of my talents had a - what's that great word - rubric. A singer, an actor, a dancer - there was nothing I could really say I was. The writing came much later. And, actually, thank God, because if I had said I'm a singer, I would really have just had one thing to do.
Steve Martin

Great, God, Nothing

You can't stay the same. If you're a musician and a singer, you have to change, that's the way it works.

Kesha

Two, Dance, Singing

Paul McCartney

Instrument, Practiced

I never thought about becoming a professional singer, but I am in touch with Bono about releasing a musical movie. It will be about an Irish band during the '70s who are looking for fortune in Las Vegas. I should play the singer of the band but I don't want to sing in front of anybody.
Liam Neeson

Thought, Play, Looking

What I do is I write mainly about very personal and rather lonely feelings, and I explore them in a different way each time. You know, what I do is not terribly intellectual. I'm a pop singer for Christ's sake. As a person, I'm fairly uncomplicated.
David Bowie

Time, Lonely, Person

I know I'm not the best. I'm not the best singer, I'm not the best songwriter, I'm not the best player.
Kid Rock

Best, Player, Songwriter

To this day, some of my closest friends say, 'Gaga, you know, everything's great. You're a singer; your dreams have come true.' But, still, when certain things are said to you over and over again as you're growing up, it stays with you and you wonder if they're true.
Lady Gaga

Dreams, Great, True

Etta James

Music, Great, History

It's not some great work of beauty and love to be a rock-and-roll singer.
Robert Plant

Love, Beauty, Work

It's a two-dimensional gig being a singer, and you can get lost in your own tedium and repetition.

If you want to get known as a singer you hire five sexy chicks and let them fight over you onstage and for the cameras. That's publicity, man.

Chris Brown

Life, Love, Great

Karl Lagerfeld

Carlos Santana

Long, Enough, Why

Willa Cather

Talent, Happens, Voice
