The thing of playin' and singin' never bothered me.
Ballet is important and significant - yes. But first of all, it is a pleasure.
Singing is the thing apart from my family that gives me the most joy in the world. I don't ever spend a day without singing.
Music for me is an emotional thing and it really does make me happy. It's not a tool for me to get fame or see my face in the papers or anything like that. It's about the fact that I really do enjoy it.
I always have a football handy at home, and I'll play with it. Sometimes it'll get on my wife's nerves. But the moment I've got a ball at my feet, I'm happy.
I don't think there's anything wrong with singing a song and having fun with it.
I just love making music, and I wouldn't want to stop.
I think playing music is one of my great joys in life.
I derive a lot of joy from cooking. Had cooking been a mandatory task, I probably would have felt differently about it.
When you're a parent, you sing better. It becomes a pure pleasure, rather than something I have to do.
I love to dance. Don't get me started, because you will never get me to stop.
Ever bike? Now that's something that makes life worth living!
For humans and animals alike, truly vigorous, wholehearted, spontaneous play is something of a biological frill.
Singing with children in the schools has been the most rewarding experience of my life.
Playing an instrument is such a wonderful pleasure.
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 started playing at my local estate club. I used to wake up every morning to go to play in the club. I loved it so much, it brought a lot of wonderful things in my life.
Playing and fun are not the same thing, though when we grow up we may forget that and find ourselves mixing up playing with happiness. There can be a kind of amnesia about the seriousness of playing, especially when we played by ourselves.
I love to drive. It's one of the most pleasurable things to me.
It's hard to explain how much one can love writing. If people knew how happy it can make you, we would all be writing all the time. It's the greatest secret of the world.
I've been messing around in the studio the last couple of years. But I don't want to worry about being taken seriously as a singer. It just really feels good to do it.
Reading was and still is my real joy.
I've always enjoyed singing as a hobby and an antidepressant.
Writing has become my great joy - I simply love it.
I love singing. I just love it.
