I sang in church growing up. Memphis is the blues capital of the world, we like to say.
Maud Gonne was - excuse me, Maud Gonne was central to the Gaelic literature revival. She wrote plays, and she sang.
Professionally, when I did the Olympic games and sang for my country in Australia. It was a big moment, Sydney in 2000. It was just a brilliant moment in my life.
By the second time I sang by myself in school, I just realized that I was more in control of my environment than I had ever been before.
In high school, I once sang 'Let's Get It On' and 'Brown Sugar' with a band that included my English teacher and my math teacher.
I'm proud to say I was part of a movement in which we sang 'All You Need Is Love' at political rallies.
I didn't just want to be Frank's daughter who sang Boots. I take my music very seriously and studied very hard. It's not a joke to me.
My mother was the first singer I had contact with. She sang constantly to us around the house, in church.
People ask if my parents are hippies, but they're actually very conservative. A girl called Rebel sang at their wedding, and that's where my name came from.

My wife looks at the person Park Jae Sang and the singer who goes up on stage, Psy, as different people.
I was a kid, and I remember my mother singing. She was also a radio soap opera actress, but my mother sang.
I was 16 when I was in a band, for about 10 minutes. I went off and did acting after that. So it was a wee moment for me when I sang.

I wish I was more of a song-and-dance girl. I sang in a show once. I wish I could be in 'Hair.'
My grandmother sang, too, and she was really loud. It was this wild kind of singing. I count her among my influences.
I realised when I sang at family parties and Christmases I'd suddenly get everyone's attention, and, being the youngest of three, I thought what a brilliant attention-seeking ploy it was.
My mother raised me in the church. I was not allowed to stay home on Sunday; there was no option. I sang in the choir all the way up until I went to college.
When Nelson Mandela walked free, the world sang with joy. Ever since, South Africa has stood as a beacon of hope for Africa.
My grandmother would sing in the choir, while my dad - while he was in college - sang and recorded with a quartet. So yeah, it was definitely my dad's Southern side that impacted on me musically.
