About Chris Isaak: Christopher Joseph is an American rock musician and occasional actor. He is best known for his hit song "Wicked Game".
I'm a natural ham. It doesn't bother me to perform.
I think as far as self-promotion goes, I probably have a lot to learn.
I never set out to write a certain kind of song, I just play my guitar and see if I catch something.
I write my own songs, and I only see their flaws.
I think I'm in a really nice position, where I'm sure I could do another show if I wanted to do one, but right now the main thing in my mind is writing songs.
One thing, when you're an actor, you finish something and then you have to worry about what the next gig is. When you're a musician, you can always write your own stuff, and I'm working on new stuff for a new album right now.
Singing is something that I'm always happy to do it and going in the studio I never felt any pressure. I just feel like I get to sing, you know. It's fun.
I wear a lot of second hand clothes unless I have a concert and then I wear beaded and sequined second hand clothes. No stylist dresses me although I do have a woman that assists me with the buttons.
If I would get an album out every eight months and if I would write songs that were more up-tempo and try to focus more on making singles, then I could probably get more attention. But I don't think the albums would be very fun to listen to, and it w...
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you. And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you. No, I don't want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your h...
I still don't know if I'm good enough or if it's a calling or a vocation or something, but the talent part is out. My desire to do it is undoubted. I just love doing this.
Any time you talk about your own stuff you sound self-aggrandising.
I don't spend as much time on my hair as people think. I get out of the shower, whack some grease on there and I'm done.
The '50s was a pretty wonderful time for people, it was hopeful.
In the long run, there are people who've made more money or had bigger stardom at points. But, I think I'll have come out winning.
I come from a small town and I come from a background where we didn't have money to travel. I thought I'd have to join the military to get to Europe. So I'm thrilled to travel.
I put music on and I drive around town.
I'm not a very spiritual guy when it comes to music. I remember hearing Carlos Santana say that angels helped him write his songs. And I thought, 'Really, angels?'
The tough thing about radio is I've met a lot of people in it who like my music. But it's hard for them to figure out how to play what they like when there's somebody up above them yelling 'you have to play this.'
