I grew up in a really small town with not a lot of money, and I liked singing, but it was just something that was a hobby.

Playback singing is fun and good money. But it's no big art really; only the film and record people glorify it with all those gold and silver discs given to singers. I wish I could take all of them to the goldsmith and draw the metal out.

People ask me where I got my singing style. I didn't copy my style from anybody.

The most miraculous process is watching a song go from a tiny idea in the middle of the night to something that 55,000 people are singing back to you.

For me, singing was real life, not two plus two equals four.

I have been singing randomly, obsessively, obnoxiously for as long as I can remember.
