I've come more to terms with the fact that I sound like myself. No matter what I do, I sound like myself.

I grew up listening to Bernadette Peters, Patti LuPone, and Angela Lansbury, so I grew up wanting to sound like Patti and Bernadette. What I realized, though, is that I can't sound like that, and what makes their performances magical is their uniqueness.

All my life, I wanted to sound like myself. I never wanted to sound like anybody else.

Going to a grammar school, you mixed with all sorts of different types and I used to listen to how they talked. When I did my imitations, I could sound like someone really rough, or I could sound like a cabinet minister.

I have an older sister who sounds, unfortunately, exactly like me, and we sound like our mother did.

I never had the influence of any other singer in my music, so I sounded like myself all the time.

I thought the best thing you were supposed to do was find somebody and try to sound like them.

I don't think I sound like Janis Joplin. I'm a woman with a raspy voice.

People like to hear me say, 'You love me, Chandler Bing. You just don't know you love me.'

When I go out with the ladies, I don't force them to pronounce my name. I tell them I like to go by the nickname of Kitten.
