I have a bad back partially from playing the drums and singing. I used to have to hold my body in such a position that my spine got out of alignment.
Don Henley

Everyone who plays the flute should learn singing.
James Galway

Then when I was in grammar school I played the clarinet, and then, after clarinet I played the flute in college orchestra - besides singing in the college chorus and things like that.
Bobby McFerrin

After using four different languages on an album, it's tough to decide which one I'm gonna actually learn to speak. I always study the lyric, make sure I know what I'm singing, and try to get the pronunciation as perfect as possible.
Josh Groban

I had been singing all my life, but I started acting in high school.
Kevin Richardson

I had to teach myself to let go of the conventional rock way of playing guitar and singing. Some things you wouldn't expect to work, did and some things won't ever work.
Chris Cornell

You didn't hear the angels singing. It was brought down to Mother Earth, which is where it should be. And that led me to a lot of other reading.
Harvey Keitel

Rock n' Roll came from the slaves singing gospel in the fields. Their lives were hell and they used music to lift out of it, to take them away. That's what rock n' roll should do - take you to a better place.
Meat Loaf

Oh, well, my first love is comedy or singing and dancing.
Dick Van Dyke

There's really nothing else I'm going to do with my life. I'd be useless if I weren't singing or acting.
Taryn Manning

When I was nine, we'd take a bus to the seaside. Coming back, we'd take turns entertaining, singing songs and the like. I tried some stand-up comedy. I had a captive audience in that bus. Then I realized I wanted to do more than that.
Jim Dale

It was an experience being on a Beatles tour. They weren't very good. The singing was great, but the playing was a bit weak.
Robin Trower

After being so bad I could hear the angels singing.
Lillie Langtry

I would much rather be a better mother or better human being than I would be a singer. Fortunately for me singing makes me a living.
Tanya Tucker

I would think, to me, growing up in the south, growing up with all the gospel music, singing in the church and having that rhythm and blues - the blues background was my big inspiration.
Jackie DeShannon

Actually I have been singing since I was a kid.
Gregory Harrison

I just prefer instrumental. I don't need to hear what other people are singing. And if I need music as a backdrop to work or to think, I need to have that part of the brain clear - I don't need people feeding their fantasies into my vision.
Lydia Lunch

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?
Charlie Hunter

A real active music set, based and really concentrated on what the music's all about. That's what I'm all about - singing and a really good strong music set.
Jon Secada

I've done gospel singing. I have a gospel album and country album.
Donna Douglas
