I began thinking I would do musical theater because in high school that was really the only sort of curriculum they had as far as getting onstage and doing anything that anybody would see. So that's what I did.
I don't - I don't like that style, myself. I never did like Elvis's singing, but there was millions that did.
I've never taken drugs. My drug, I suppose, is drink. I never drink before I sing, but I do make up for it when I come off!
Singing is something I love to do. I feel very confident doing it.
I was constantly involved in music and theatre all through middle school and high school.
I don't like karaoke very much. I like being around it, but I don't like singing it. If I had to sing a karaoke song, it's usually "Son of a Preacher Man" by Dusty Springfield.
Since his childhood, Bappa has observed me singing and practicing and is well aware of all sorts of recording and singing arrangements. I have a studio at my home, so whenever he needs my help I make sure I stand by him. I often sing for the tunes that he composes.
I never thought I could sing. I still don't.
When movement isn't enough, you dance, or when speaking isn't enough, you sing. When it's organic, and it's earned like that in a musical, that's when it works, and then there's nothing like it because it's this thing that takes you to a whole 'nother level, you know?
We sing for these kids who don't have a thing.
I have no such ambition of becoming an actor. I want to grow as a musician, singer and songwriter.
I was sometimes jeered by black soldiers who wanted me to sing something besides country music.
I love 'Some Enchanted Evening', and 'If I Loved You'. And as I sing them more and more, I find new favorites.
I wanted to be on Broadway, but in musical comedy.
Music was a big part of my family with gatherings, picnics, barbecues.
Birds do not sing in caves, nor do doves cherish their innocence in dovecots.
I'd love to do Pat Benatar. Probably either 'Hit Me with Your Best Shot' or 'We Belong'.
Singing is a way of releasing an emotion that you sometimes can't portray when you're acting.
When I was a kid. I never really had luck with the ladies my early years in high school. Then I started singing and I found that helped, so I would go in the talent show every year. It was always some female singer that would go up there and blast out some Celine Dion classic and just blow me away.
Michael (Jackson) was so shy, he'd sit down and sing behind the couch with his back to me while I sat with my hands over my eyes-and the lights off.
I started out doing musicals.
Nobody knows I sing. Even though I've done Broadway musicals. I would only pick it over acting because it's such a pure form of emotional expression.
People go to musicals because they want to hear some really good songs.
When I was in the recording studio, I needed to concentrate on what my voice was doing, which is rather difficult if you can't actually see what you are supposed to be singing.
I certainly never imagined 80-year-olds singing along, like they were watching Cats. I'm fascinated by that kind of pop cultural zeitgeist that it's attached itself to.
