I don't think I'm a great singer myself. I'm all right. I've worked with different writers, different producers... I've just been blessed with the caliber of people I've been able to work with.

If you want to be a singer, you've got to concentrate on it twenty-four hours a day. You can't be a well driller, too. You've got to concentrate on the business of entertaining and writing songs. Always think different from the next person. Don't ever do a song as you heard somebody else do it.

You have to keep fit being a singer - that's part of the job. You can't do it unless you have incredible stamina.

I must work hard to make my singing above reproach; there must be no faults which hard work would take care of.

Being a singer is a way for me to get to a platform to do more.

I think I've become a much better singer and a much better player. Years and years of playing a couple of hours every day will do that.

You don't have to be a good singer any more if you can rap well.

If you're a good singer, you're going to make anything sound good.

Never say that your life is to be a singer. You want to sing because it's a part of your life. But if you don't succeed as a singer, it doesn't mean you don't have a life and it's over.

The short answer is, yes, I think I have become a better singer.
