I'm a song and dance girl. I can act enough to get by. But that's the limit of my talents.

I learnt from Armstrong on the early recordings that you never sang a song the same way twice.

My cousin used to make fun of me for liking stuff like C+C Music Factory. I didn't have any tapes; I just liked their song on the radio. We liked that because that was what we had access to.

I flipped Gucci Mane's 'Freaky Gurl' for my project and I thought, 'Wouldn't it be great if he could get on it.' When I got the text that Gucci recorded a verse for the song, I started screaming!

We used to jam forever. We'd play one song for three hours, easy.

I was onstage singing with Luke Bryan, and he started singing a song that we hadn't rehearsed. Both Luke and myself just winged it.

I think we have to assume we have one life. Though, having said that, I did write a song called 'You Only Live Twice.' I'll settle for that.

When I'm writing a song, I try to be the character.

I remember when that Kelis song 'Milkshake' came out, and just how extreme it seemed in terms of that really high triangle part and then the really low subs and then her voice in the middle.

I can reach the mass audience if I come from different perspectives on every song.

I did an album called 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry.' I sang the song on 'Hee Haw.'

There's more things that I'd like to do. You know, each song is a little bit of a puzzle. I see most of them as just failed attempts.

I think if you can affect somebody's life with one song, that's such a powerful tool to reach millions of people on so many different levels.

Most of the time, comparing printed song lyrics with poems is like comparing recipes with food: that's to say, patently unfair.

I feel like you're able to be your most creative in private environments, and not a studio where an A&R person is coming in, telling us a song isn't a smash.

I vividly remember D'Angelo's 'How Does it Feel?' as a song I listened to around the time I came out.

I haven't written my favorite song yet, and I hope I never do.

A person who shakes a leg to 'Zor ka jhatka' at a disc doesn't care about its picturization in the film. He enjoys and downloads it because of the merit of the song.

If a girl sings a sexy song, I actually become even more attracted to them.

I made my first song when I was 9 years old. Just beating on garbage cans, having people beat box.

We'll do a crazy video of a great song that people can actually dance to.

If Mozart were around now he would write a killer rock song.

It's not that I don't love the song. My songs are like my children: some you want around and some you want to send off to college as soon as possible.

I would love to have a song that I wrote by myself to win a 'Song of the Year' award.

To me, it's all about the song. Songs are what make me excited. You hear a great song and you want to record it or get a great idea and you want to write it.

My favorite song used to be 'The Nasty Song' by this dude named Lil Ru. That was my jam!

Technically, a Ghost song could just be piano and vocals, but it could also be full, pounding, heavy-thrashing hard rock.

I want to make music three-dimensional. I want to make a song also a painting, and a painting also a culinary experience.

Signing up to be an organ donor should be at least as easy as downloading a song to your iPhone.

Every song I've written is luck, I think; it's luck - 'How did that just happen?'
