I studied German at school. I lived in Berlin for two years and had a German girlfriend for five years, so I don't find speaking German particularly difficult. Singing was slightly more difficult.
Martin Gore

The history of all big jazz bands shows was, first they played for dancing, and then they played for singing.
Norman Granz

The Siren waits thee, singing song for song.
Walter Savage Landor

Every time I talk about this, I say: when the singer is singing, he must be respected, you must be able to hear what he's saying. You can't put a trombone and a drum up there, and a microphone on the drum, microphones on everybody. You can't hear what he's saying.
Compay Segundo

In the last century, everybody was singing lower.
Placido Domingo

I was a little bit wary of playing Nicholas. In the script, which I think is true of the novel and the film, he's the only character not singing and dancing in a musical style. Playing someone who is the personification of good is a little difficult.
Charlie Hunnam

Now my music is kind of pop-rock, right? If I'm 25 and singing still, I don't want to be singing music like that.
Hilary Duff

What I like about playing America is you can be pretty sure you're not going to get hit with a full can of beer when you're singing and I really enjoy that!
Joe Strummer

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.
Jessica Lange

I've been doing a lot of studying singing, and I'm thinking of recording an album containing all my old war horses and putting out a songbook at the same time.
David Friedman

When I sang that song, I felt it was almost as if some force had moved into my body. Things like that have only happened to me singing jazz. It doesn't happen when singing pop. I get so deeply into the music, it feels like I've become someone else.
Rita Coolidge

Singing is not indulged in by Rotary clubs of some countries and all clubs are given full privilege to do as they please about including it in their programs.
Paul Harris

I enjoy singing, and the instruments which truly move me are the horn, the trumpet and the cello.
Roger Bannister

It is not fun singing about losing somebody like that, but at the same time it was easy to write because the memories were so real and vivid and so much a part of who I am.
Vince Gill

There really aren't any completely Asian people singing right now.
Utada Hikaru

My singing is part of me, like my stoutness, or my light hair, or my poor eyesight.
Kate Smith

When I owned the theater, I had the Glen Miller Orchestra. I had 20 girls singing and dancing. I had a cast of characters. It was a big group production, as well as ushers, ticket takers.
Bobby Vinton

This nation loves singing and loves acting.
Kate Smith

Writing and singing does give me some kind of release from the demons of my past, it is a therapy of sorts, but to be honest, my marriage played a more important role in the acceptance of myself than performance has ever done.
Michelle Shocked

When I was singing Jamie's Cryin', people were going out of their mind because it was the first time they got to see Eddie, Michael and Alex play those songs. That was a thrill.
Gary Cherone
