You've got to sing like you don't need the money.

I don't just sing for free. It's my work. You're paid for what you do. And I work hard.

It never dawned on me at any particular time of my life that people are paid tremendous money to sing.

Singing as a full-time job was not something I had given a lot of thought to and I had no clear notion of the money to be made in it.

I'm gonna sing, and I'm going to make me a lot of money.

Nobody's ever gonna accuse me of being a singer, but I can sing.

If I'm going to sing like someone else, then I don't need to sing at all.

For an individual, playback singing is not enough to sustain a career, and it is not really a main source of income.

I don't want anyone to fail, so if you can make money off music even though you can't sing or dance, that's genius.

It's not that you want to sing, it's that you have to sing.
