The thing of playin' and singin' never bothered me.
Ballet is important and significant - yes. But first of all, it is a pleasure.
Singing is the thing apart from my family that gives me the most joy in the world. I don't ever spend a day without singing.
I don't think there's anything wrong with singing a song and having fun with it.
Music for me is an emotional thing and it really does make me happy. It's not a tool for me to get fame or see my face in the papers or anything like that. It's about the fact that I really do enjoy it.
I always have a football handy at home, and I'll play with it. Sometimes it'll get on my wife's nerves. But the moment I've got a ball at my feet, I'm happy.
When you're a parent, you sing better. It becomes a pure pleasure, rather than something I have to do.
I just love making music, and I wouldn't want to stop.
I think playing music is one of my great joys in life.
I derive a lot of joy from cooking. Had cooking been a mandatory task, I probably would have felt differently about it.
For humans and animals alike, truly vigorous, wholehearted, spontaneous play is something of a biological frill.
I love to dance. Don't get me started, because you will never get me to stop.
Ever bike? Now that's something that makes life worth living!
Singing with children in the schools has been the most rewarding experience of my life.
Playing an instrument is such a wonderful pleasure.
I started playing at my local estate club. I used to wake up every morning to go to play in the club. I loved it so much, it brought a lot of wonderful things in my life.
Singing songs like 'The Man I Love' or 'Porgy' is no more work than sitting down and eating Chinese roast duck, and I love roast duck.
I love to drive. It's one of the most pleasurable things to me.
Playing and fun are not the same thing, though when we grow up we may forget that and find ourselves mixing up playing with happiness. There can be a kind of amnesia about the seriousness of playing, especially when we played by ourselves.
It's hard to explain how much one can love writing. If people knew how happy it can make you, we would all be writing all the time. It's the greatest secret of the world.
Reading was and still is my real joy.
I've been messing around in the studio the last couple of years. But I don't want to worry about being taken seriously as a singer. It just really feels good to do it.
I've always enjoyed singing as a hobby and an antidepressant.
Writing has become my great joy - I simply love it.
Me being myself, I'm not happy when I'm not playing.
