When people ask me, 'Are you a singer?' I say, 'No, I'm not a 'singer' - but I love the craft of singing,' going in and finding out what that means or why the hell I'm singing in the first place. My thing is really the craft of it.

Brian Tyree Henry

Not everybody's a great singer, but people can get better at singing. There's great singing teachers out there. It's a muscle, you just have to train it.

Luke Evans

I'm a true singer who grew up singing in church, so I love singing my heart out.

Naturi Naughton

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.

David Bowie

I'm almost a black singer. And without the backbeat, it's singer/songwriter. There's a definite choice to be made there, every time. And I love the sex of singing with a beat; I like the sexiness of it. I think it's really where I'm from.

John Waite

A soul singer is always singing to their crowd. They're always singing about their woes to you. And I really appreciate that when a singer is making you feel... when they're directing it at me. When they're including me.

Devendra Banhart

I'm saying that she (Whitney Houston) looks great for a singer... the way Courtney Love is a singer.

Kathy Griffin

What you were singing about was believable and convincing, that's the key to a great singer.

Bruce Springsteen

I'm really a singer, so I love songs and I love singing. I like rap music, but I didn't grow up freestyling.

Billy Idol

Now, I'm fully aware that there is only one figure more pitiable, more ludicrous, more inherently ridiculous than a bad singer who keeps on singing, and that's a bad singer who keeps on singing because he has issues.

Tom Junod

One of my sisters wanted to be an opera singer. So, we spent a few dollars to try to train her, because Italian people would like to have an opera singer in the family. But she's got trouble coughing, let alone singing. One day, she was in the shower singing 'Madame Butterfly,' three days later the Japs attacked Pearl Harbor.

Pat Cooper

When I began singing, it was the first time I was happy in my life. As a baby, I would stop crying when I heard a great singer.

Andrea Bocelli

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

Michael Benjamin Lerner

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

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.
