I never was a very good singer.

I didn't start making music in order to be famous.

I never thought of myself as a good singer.

I never thought of myself as a really particularly great singer.

I'm not actually even a very good singer. I'm not.

I made a living being a background singer for years.

I was never much of a singer. I was terrible. It's embarrassing: I was trying to sound like everybody else. I went through a big Cure phase, so I was trying to do that kind of dramatic voice.

I'm not a very typical singer.

I was never a singer; I can't play any instruments; I had no training. Plus, I was brought up in a time when all the great rock stars were male. I didn't have any template for what I was doing. I did what I did out of frustration and concern.

Originally I considered myself a singer.
