I was with Tina Turner when she FIRST saw Janis Joplin, and she said to Janis, 'Honey, you can't CONTINUE to SING LIKE that, or you'll have no voice,' and Janis' response was just to laugh and take a swig on her Southern Comfort.

I TRULY WISH I COULD SING.

I WANT to SING for the broadest POSSIBLE AUDIENCE.

It is the BEST of all trades, to MAKE SONGS, and the SECOND best to SING them.

Life is so short. I WOULD RATHER SING one song than interpret the thousand.

I'd LOVE to do a BROADWAY SHOW, but I can't because of the STYLE I SING.

The WHOLE life of a song doesn't END with the way that it SOUNDS on the record. How does this song grow? What works LIVE? What do people like to sing ALONG to?

I am going to sing lesbian love songs and SUPPORT GAY rights no MATTER what. The REST is public relations.

If you SING a SONG of PEACE with enough gestures and grimaces, it becomes a WAR song.

With pop, it's pretty MUCH straight up and down. It has to be SIMPLE. EVERYBODY has to be able to WALK down the street and be able to SING it.

My mom says that she caught me one DAY in front of the TV WATCHING opera. I was trying to sing back the opera. She SAW that I REALLY liked music, and so she put me in piano lessons when I was about three years old.

I sing in Hungarian. I read Hungarian. I do not pretend to speak Hungarian, but I sing in languages that I have studied as languages. And I find that to be central and very, very HELPFUL. I think if you're not really cognizant of what EVERY single word MEANS, I think that might be a LITTLE tricky.

I always SAID that I wouldn't USE a teleprompter, and if I start to SING REAL FLAT, I'll hang it up.

I GOT a couple on per ALBUM but my problem was that I wanted to sing the SONGS and not let Roger sing them.

I love the whole aspect of MUSIC, especially the singing; I never get TIRED of finding new SONGS to sing and sing them in a WAY that's interesting for the PUBLIC.
