My songs were always about the tone of voice rather than the words.

It's tough hearing your voice on the radio, on a chorus, and knowing that people think it's another artist.

A lot of artists don't like the sound of their voice. They're put off by it.

It's amazing to hear, as a voice matures and then starts to decline, what kind of emotion is still conveyed by a really good vocalist.

How nice the human voice is when it isn't singing.

I'm just about the best singer I know, and it's time for everybody to say that. I have total facility with my voice. And for some weird reason, critics don't talk about it.

I've always felt that the quality of the voice is where the real content of a song lies. Words only suggest an experience, but the voice is that experience.

I'm a great believer in letting lyrics just flow out, wherever they come from.

I can understand someone not liking the voice or the songs.

As I've gone along, I felt like I was discovering an aspect of my voice that I didn't know was there: an ability to interpret a song in a way that makes it more accessible.
