Wayne Newton Quotes

If you can play well in the studio, you can play well on stage.

Now I'm more sure and I feel myself more comfortable singing.

Singing is something I love to do. I feel very confident doing it.

I'm not a good enough singer to pull off the effect.

But I was singing loud, and most singers weren't singing loud.

I've never really been a confident person, except from a musical standpoint. I had to push myself early on, but it got easier with each gig.

All I have to concentrate on is my performing.

I've really improved, I think, as far as just being able to get up onstage with my guitar and sing.

There's just something about being on stage and being with the people that, once that camera turns on, you find the strength to keep it cool, look good, act like you're not cold, act like you ain't nervous, act like you aren't scared. I think that comes with confidence and practice.

Yes, I am a good singer.

I sing like a girl.

I think it's really, really good for me to be on stage once a year. It keeps your chops good. There's nothing else like it.

The only thing I miss on stage is the falsetto.

When I started to record, I could sing in pitch, but that was maybe about it.

You know, I think you have to sound right singing whatever it is that you sing.
