At the end of the day, a playback singer has to depend on live shows as their source of income.
I didn't even like Mick Jagger.
All David Blaine is is a good-looking magician.
I'm not entirely comfortable saying I'm an actor, because it seems like a very weird, almost dorky thing to say you are.
I always knew I wanted to be a performance artist.
I don't really consider myself an actor, and I don't know if I'm a comedian.
I don't just sing for free. It's my work. You're paid for what you do. And I work hard.
I'm not a singer.
Mick Jagger can sing. Mick Jagger is a great entertainer.
My schedule is such that even though I visit several cities for performances, I hardly get the time to explore any of them.
When you make your living as a singer, you have to go where the gigs are.
I've never wanted to be famous. That has never been a part of any dream. I do remember being little and thinking I might want to be a singer. But not a famous singer - just, like, a singer.
I'm a multifaceted entertainer.
I'm not a blues singer, I'm a diva.
I don't feel comfortable calling myself a writer or a director or an actor.
If I call myself an actor, it sounds like I'm trying to pass myself off as someone who went to drama school.
I feel like I am just an entertainer. It does not matter what form I take to perform and entertain. I think I deserve being called a performer because you don't call Tyler Perry a drag queen. You don't call Will Smith a drag queen and all the other mainstream artists who use the aesthetic of drag to entertain.
One person who was interesting was Jello Biafra, who was - of all things - very professional!
I'm a singer and a songwriter. It's hard to describe what I sound like when I sing.
People expect comedy from me but I am not just a stand-up comedian anymore. I act on stage, host 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' and also conduct interviews on my show. I have grown as a person and an artiste.
The only reason I'm ever in character as 'Larry The Cable Guy' is because that's what I'm hired to do. In my movies, obviously they hired 'Larry The Cable Guy' to be 'Larry The Cable Guy.' When I do my shows, I'm 'Larry The Cable Guy.' When I do Jay Leno, it's: 'Please welcome 'Larry The Cable Guy.'
My dad is a singer. He used to sing in nightclubs, or pizza joints.
I'm like the opposite of an 'office guy.' I don't want to be at the arena until right before my match.
I don't really want to be known as just the puppet girl or just a singing ventriloquist. I want to be known as the performer, singer, ventriloquist, actress, Broadway star, all of it. I want do it all.
Essentially, I am an actor for hire. I am not a rarified creature. I do all these different things, and they all interest me.
