A Quote by David Bowie

I am a moderately good singer. I am not a great singer but I can interpret a song, which I don't think is quite the same as singing it.

I find it quite boring when you're listening to radio, and it's the same kind of voice that's on every song on the radio. You can't really tell a lot about that singer as a storyteller and about the singer from what they're singing.

Having to sing makes me feel like a singer. And I don't view myself as a singer, but I guess I now am, because I am singing every day.

Dev Hynes

I don't think a good singer or a great singer is either of those things without a great song.

A great song can make a terrible singer sound good, but a good singer - you put a great song on top of that, you're really in great shape!

Quincy Jones

I'm going to be quite choosy about singing. If I connect to a tune and like what I am offered to sing, I'll do it. I am an actor by profession, not a singer.

Dhanush

I think I am very disturbing on the set because I am singing all the time. I won't say I am a singer, but I do sing a lot.

Mithila Palkar

I think people need comparisons to grade a singer... so if they are comparing me to the biggest singer of India... I am sure I am on the right path.

At the end of the day, all people want to do is hear a great singer sing a great song. They don't care about what vocal changes it went through. You can't screw up a great song and a great singer.

Vince Gill

I don't really consider myself a "singer." I am getting more comfortable singing every day, which is great.

Michael Benjamin Lerner

As a lead singer, all I want to do is be in my own head and think about how great I am. That's a lead singer's disease.

Mark McGrath

Now any person who plays an acoustic guitar standing up on stage with a microphone is a folk singer. Some grandmother with a baby in her arms singing a 500-year-old song, well, she's not a folk singer, she's not on stage with a guitar and a microphone. No, she's just an old grandmother singing an old song. The term "folk singer" has gotten warped.

Pete Seeger

Luckily for me, when I was growing up in high school, I had a band, and I was a singer in the band. I'm less of a legit Broadway singer than I am a pop-rock singer.

Stark Sands

When I write a song and come up with an arrangement and a vocal part, it's always a challenge trying to find a singer who can interpret it sort of the way that I hear it, and it's a very difficult thing to do. I mean, singing is like playing an instrument - everybody does it a little bit different - singing maybe even more so.

Tom Scholz

I'm not as good a singer as I am an actor. So that's why I - the stories I like so much is because I've been a story teller for a long time. I started as a singer and found out I didn't have a very good voice. That's the reason I went into acting.
