I'm not a rock and roller, a hitmaker. I'm highly dependent on what's coming out of these vocal cords.

I had really bad polyps on my vocal cords, and I've had them since I was a kid, but the bulimia made it 10 times worse. They were bleeding constantly, and it was straining on my voice. And just the lack of nutrition - my vocal cords couldn't keep up because I was so unhealthy.

And my voice now is a struggle, it's a daily struggle to keep it up. Gravity has begun to fight the vocal cords the way it does with everybody. So I have a vocal therapist, and we record the sessions and I use them on tour every day.

I was born with a cyst on my vocal cords.

Becky Hill

Crying is really bad for your vocal cords.

Adele

You know how it is with some girls. They seem to take the stuffing right out of you. I mean to say, there is something about their personality that paralyses the vocal cords and reduces the contents of the brain to cauliflower.

P. G. Wodehouse

My vocal cords lived their own life, wild and free.

Robert A. Heinlein

Seventy per cent humidity is ideal for vocal cords.

Bjork

And singing is a physical thing - your vocal cords are these muscles.

Micky Dolenz

I prefer alkaline water. Good for the vocal cords, especially if you take it in the morning.

It [my vocal] didn't sound like what I wanted to hear; the vibrato isn't what I liked anymore. So I got myself to an ear, nose and throat guy who does a lot of work with singers, and I was hoping there was a big wart on my vocal cords or something and they could scrape it off and I could have the voice I wanted. But he said, "No, for 71, that's your voice."

Joan Baez

By a monstrous act of reductionism, the infinite depth of who you are is confused with a sound produced by the vocal cords." (p. 28)
