Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it. Life is a sacrifice - offer it. Life is love - enjoy it.
My definition of country music is really pretty simple. It's when someone sings about their life and what they know, from an authentic place.
As a child, I loved being onstage. I loved singing, I loved the lights, I loved the adrenaline. I even loved learning lines. I was completely obsessive.
The fact is that the learning process goes on, and so long as the voices are not stilled and the singers go on singing some of it gets through.
To summarize, the particular song a male sings, and the behavioral responses of females to song and morphological signals, are not genetically inherited in a fixed manner but are determined by learning early in life.
Singing songs like 'The Man I Love' or 'Porgy' is no more work than sitting down and eating Chinese roast duck, and I love roast duck.
I'm really a singer, so I love songs and I love singing. I like rap music, but I didn't grow up freestyling.
I still sing because I love the sound of applause, because it's who I am, and because I still can.
I could sing you a thousand and one doo-wop songs. I love the simplicity in that music. It's not super-poetic, it's just from the heart.
I love 'Some Enchanted Evening', and 'If I Loved You'. And as I sing them more and more, I find new favorites.
The compelled mother loves her child as the caged bird sings. The song does not justify the cage nor the love the enforcement.
I do love to sing. Had I a longer set of thigh bones and a sweeter voice, I should have loved to be a performer.
Some of my favorite films are musicals, like 'Walk the Line,' 'The Rose' and 'Lady Sings the Blues.' I just love the way the music and the story fuel each other.
Actors fall into this trap if they missed being loved for who they really were and not for what they could do - sing, dance, joke about - then they take that as love.
I'm a huge karaoke person even though I have the worst singing voice. When you love doing something, who cares?
If you think about where I'm from, I'm not supposed to be singing in the first place. I'm not supposed to be alive right now.
But when the 'Glee' audition came around, my manager literally had to talk me into it. I was petrified to sing in front of anyone.
I did plays in high school and I really loved it, but I think singing was always what I loved most of all.
This is a fault common to all singers, that among their friends they will never sing when they are asked; unasked, they will never desist.
I think there's something in the human psyche that we're titillated by the person who flies too close to the candle and their wings get singed.
I can sing fine and I can play guitar fine, but put 'em together and it becomes a thoughtful effort.
