In the end, I get a really good song, and in the end, I get the hits. Yeah, I'm that good.
I've been making music since age five.
My brother is an excellent songwriter, and I play guitar and drums.
I don't feel like we have that Paul McCartney gene, and I think the cool thing about us is that we know it.
I'm literally tone-deaf with singing. It's unreal.
I was listening to Jimi Hendrix; I just admire his artistry and creativity as an artist.
If someone can write great music... Paul McCartney is a genius. He's so prolific. All we should do is bow down to Paul McCartney.
I've been singing since I could talk. I started playing the piano when I was about 5 or 6. I picked up the guitar on my 20th birthday.
I love finding talents to pair my music with such as Conrad on 'Firestone', Parson James with 'Stole the Show,' and Will Heard on 'Nothing Left.'
Adam [Cohen] is a great singer-songwriter in his own right.
I was asked, 'Why do you think the male 'X Factor' winners haven't been successful in the past?' And I said, 'Because obviously the body of work that they've brought out wasn't good enough,' and that was it.
I started singing when I started talking.
I always loved those songs. And with my high tenor, I thought I was pretty good - you know? - almost as good as Dennis Day.
My whole family could sing. My family harmonized without any instruments to accompany them.
Bryan Adams might not be what I want to put on, but he's a pop singer with a great voice and great guitar tone. Plus, he's done more for Canada than Rush have, because he works all the time. I envy him for that.
I think Jerry Lee is sad. As a musician, he was far more talented than Elvis Presley. Everybody down in Memphis knows that. Elvis became a movie star because he was beautiful. Not that Elvis wasn't talented, but Jerry Lee Lewis was incomprehensibly talented as a musician.
I was writing songs by 12 and had a band by 14.
I'm from Tullahoma, TN which is an hour south of Nashville, and I grew up and wanted to be like Garth Brooks, so I moved to Nashville when I was 18 to chase a dream.
I don't think it's important to be that good at singing. I think people who are good at singing sing backing vocals for pop stars. It's about how you project. I wouldn't consider myself to be a singer.
In Nashville, good guitar players are a dime a dozen.
I fancied being a lead singer. I've always done a lot of vocals, but obviously, Freddie is the lead singer.
I'm one of those controversial celebs or whatever you want to call it, but I am actually a musician - people forget this.
Michael Jackson was a Gemini. Kanye, Lauryn Hill, a lot of people that are amazing artists are Geminis.
I think Lady Gaga is talented. Madonna is talented, and the flair that Michael Jackson had. He was talented! Whatever it is that they do, they must be doing something right. They do have an audience out there, so I respect that.
I'm a true believer that unless you're Prince or Stevie Wonder - and even Prince is showing that he needs help - not everybody can produce themselves. I'm definitely not that person.
