I'm kind of a pop balladeer because I love the art of storytelling. I call myself 'HBO for the ears'; I sing little movies.
One performer whose band played my music better than I could myself was Art Farmer. He recorded 'Sing Me Softly of the Blues' and 'Ad Infinitum'.
My parents were always supportive of me in terms of expressing myself artistically. Art, musical instruments, singing - whatever I did, they were just really supportive.
When I sing, I have to live in that moment, so my audience can feel that. That is my reason for doing art.
The highs, the lows, the peaks, the valleys, whatever, it's all going to go into the art, whether I'm singing or acting or whatever.
There's no such thing as perfect writing, just like there's no such thing as perfect despair.
The music we listen to may not define who we are. But it’s a damn good start.
If everyone started off the day singing, just think how happy they'd be.
If I had the knack I'd sing like Cherry flakes falling
I’d rather be miserable loving you than happy with anyone else.
If you see those pretty things that nature likes to show Remember all those seals that sing And leave them there to grow.
I love Adele, I want her to be my best friend. She could come to the U.S., live with me and sing to me every morning.

My family and I are just regular folks, just trying to get through the day and do the best you can and pay the bills, and that's who we're singing to.
Growing up, I thought I was going to be Madonna. I wanted to be a pop star. I wanted to dance and sing.
Nothing I have done professionally will top the feeling I got when singing with John Farnham at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.
When I paint, I definitely live in the present, like someone in a shower whistling or singing.
I really don't have an ear for pitch. I can't sing at all, I can't hum melodies and I can't write riffs.
They ought to put out the eyes of painters as they do goldfinches in order that they can sing better.
I have sung in hobo jungles, and I have sung for the Rockefellers, and I am proud that I have never refused to sing for anybody.
I was a kid, and I remember my mother singing. She was also a radio soap opera actress, but my mother sang.
