A boo is a lot louder than a cheer. If you have 10 people cheering and one person booing, all you hear is the booing.
What I don't do is try to like become whoever I'm rapping with. The people who go get an LL album want to hear LL.
The idea is to write it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart.
You always hear about people going through miscarriages and you never understand what one is like unless you go through it.
I hear people talk in my head, and I write it down. I choose where they live and how they dress to be real.
My experience tells me that any time you hear people laughing on a sitcom, it's the writers who happen to be closest to the microphones - not the audience.
I have no desire to become a crossover artiste, singing with microphones. I believe in opera; that it is something that young people would love if they had a chance to hear it.
There are black marriages that are still going strong 40 years later. You hear so many myths that there aren't any people making it, but there are. As long as there are some, there's hope.
You always hear people saying, 'I hope I'm not turning into my dad', but I'd be honoured if I became half as decent a bloke as he is.
People like me who grew up in a working-class town, who don't have a college education, you don't usually hear from us.
With other people, you're always swapping music. Somebody is always listening to something you've never heard. It's a great way to hear all sorts of new things.
I hear a lot of people singing in funny voices and singing like they're stupid. Singing in a deliberately fey and dumb and childish way. And I find it to be a disturbing trend.
It's funny, when I'm not on the road or doing stuff with Bad Company - or whatever- I've always written songs galore... a lot of stuff people don't even hear.
It makes me cross when I hear people say, 'It's so last season.' I always say, 'It's vintage.'
Speak up. You have to project! If people can't hear you, it doesn't matter what you say.
In L.A. you hear all these stories of people being filmed in their own homes through their windows. I think that is so scary.
In some theoretical way I know that a half-million people hear the show. But in a day-to-day way, there's not much evidence of it.
You always hear people say that having kids changes everything, but you can't fully realize it until you have children yourself.
When people say I look intimidating, it's hard for me to relate to. I hear that a lot. I don't know why.
I'm not a braggart, but when I was a little girl people used to come from all over Hollywood to hear me sing.
Each gig should be unique. You're always treading that line between keeping yourself fresh and giving people something they want to hear.
