This is the bunch of songs I did first, and it's just the type of thing I do. I am a Carter Family girl, so the record is book-ended with Carter Family songs.
June Carter Cash

I understand why some kid in his bedroom in Wisconsin thinks downloading songs couldn't hurt anyone. True fans will buy the CD or go see the movie after downloading, but to say it doesn't affect anyone - come on.
Rob Zombie

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

I decline to discuss, under compulsion, where I have sung, and who has sung my songs, and who else has sung with me, and the people I have known.
Pete Seeger

I think there's nothing better than seeing a three-chord straight up rock 'n' roll band in your face with sweaty music and three minute good songs.
Joan Jett

I'm 60, and I did 60-year-old women songs. I'm not trying to be the Hip-Hop Queen, although I am the original Hip Hop Queen.
Patti LaBelle

I can't do some of the songs that younger girls like Mary J. Blige and Beyonce are doing. They have their own place and I have my own place.
Patti LaBelle

All those songs reflect all the people that live within me.
Janet Jackson

I'm not going to hurt anybody other than that dick who keeps writing songs about me.
Courtney Love

I really enjoy the therapeutic value of writing songs.
Shannon Hoon

This is my home. Home is where the disease is. As long as I stay in America, I'll never run out of subjects for songs.
Jello Biafra

I didn't really start writing music or lyrics or turning them into songs until I went to San Francisco.
Jello Biafra

Obviously I got known for some other songs early on, and some of those were rock'n'roll songs. Some of them were melodic pop songs. And I've done lots of different things, as you know, but every so often I get drawn back.
Elvis Costello

I'm not used to not having enough time to live with the songs. Usually, if I write something, I live with it for a little while.
Fiona Apple

I know what my job is: I write the songs, I sing them, I play them on the piano.
Fiona Apple

But actually just yesterday we raised the key of one of my songs two steps up, so my voice is obviously responding. It's a muscle, and the more you use it, the more you use it right, the more you should get out of it. So yes, I sing.
Harvey Fierstein

But I'm not adverse to the idea of Torch Song as a musical. It would just be different. Because the play will always be there exactly as it was, and in a musical you could tell a lot of the story through songs.
Harvey Fierstein

So it's not so much that I set out to do something different, it's just that the songs themselves require their own individual voice and attention.
Ben Harper

As long as the songs are strong, I think you can express yourself in any style and have it be soulful and have it be your own voice.
Ben Harper

You know, I get a lot of people pitching songs to me.
Reba McEntire
