Jesse Spencer Quotes

I was miserable as a kid.

I have a four-and-a-half-, nearly five-octave range. I probably should have had extra lessons as a child, as I am certain my family heard my potential, but I didn't. I was in the choir as a schoolgirl, but really, it is all self-taught.

Childhood - that was not my favorite time in my life.

My childhood wasn't full of wonderful culinary memories.

Home wasn't a pleasant place to live, growing up.

And I think that's why I was going to be a musician. I was very rebellious. And I didn't want to be an actor. My father used to say to me you should be an actor if you want to be in the arts.

I remember growing up singing; even when I was just three years old, I was singing all the time in the house. My parents said I was singing before I could even talk properly.

Shortly after this I was made a member of the boys' choir, it being found that I possessed a clear, strong soprano voice. I enjoyed the singing very much.

When I was a kid, my dad kind of forced me to sing the third harmony for our little family group, and I just kind of hated it. I just felt so uncomfortable on stage, too shy.

I hate being cold and I hate being wet and around 80% percent of this film I was cold and another 60% I was cold and wet, so it wasn't the best shoot for me.

I love Celtic music and listening to it, but I just don't have the type of voice to sing it.

For me, my awkward phase corresponded to an interest in rock n' roll. From experience, I'm guessing an insecure childhood is probably quite a common thing among people who start a rock band.

I'm pretty mad at horror films for ruining my childhood.

I remember my childhood as a horrible time. My mother says that nothing so horrible ever happened to me as the things that I remember.

I did '24;' it was terrible. I hated every moment of it.

I started out singing in high school in the choir and in a garage band.

I always loved music. You know, my parents said I started singing when I was 4, in the car.

I will sing whatever I'm given to sing. Growing up, I would sing anything that I was given. If the choir needed a first tenor, I would sing first tenor. If they needed a bass, I would sing bass. Throughout my life, I just figured out ways to hit notes I needed to hit.

I didn't understand that I could sing until I was like 11 or 12. My mom heard me singing around the house and she said, What are you doing? You really can sing! So then I started going to school and singing to the girls.

I don't want to play stinking, beer-ridden clubs. It depresses me even thinking about that. I really hate it when you're finished with a show and you're in your dressing room with that stink of beer and sweaty girls. It brings back an ugly picture for me. I'd hate to have to do that again.

A lot of the time, I was unhappy as a kid, so I spent it, I guess, in a gray place.

Sometimes I think the choir gets a little ticked with me because I haven't sung in a long time and I can sing.

My voice gets recognized before anything else. It's always gotten attention. In choruses at church and school, I started as a tenor, moved to a baritone and finally became a bass. I knew then that my voice would be my instrument. Now if I want to hide, I just keep my mouth shut.

Anybody who says, 'My childhood was completely happy,' is a person who isn't remembering the truth.

I can't remember a dish my mother made that to me was pleasant. To this day I have a phobia of instant noodles.
