keyboard music people singer
People are always reinventing music. We were an oddity when we formed, just a singer and a keyboard player.
thinking voice people
So often, the singer is the sound of the record. People think they can cover anything, but the whole voice is the thing that's unrepeatable.
believe people singing
Frank Sinatra said this great thing, that singing isn't about singing in tune, or great technical singing. It's about making people believe in the story you're telling.
careers people want
I've got so much I want to do, and not a lot of time to do it in. People say to me, "You really shouldn't do so many records", because it actually harms your career.
artist people albums
What was great about the 80s was that you still had record companies who would get behind developing you as an artist. You had these bonkers heads of department and A&R people who, even after a flop album, would let you make another one.
thinking people want
I was a magnet for people who want to take advantage of people like me, who think they're part of this life but they're not.
writing thinking people
People always go on about sleaze, but I think it's only a small part of what I write about.
thinking rocks people
When people talk about gender-benders and bracket me with George, I always think I'm not like that. I had more of a rock edge, mixed with the 80s electro.
people harsh bits
Maybe I was a bit harsh on some people. But I was harshest on myself, really.
book people soho
People come from all over the world to see this little place they've seen in movies and read about in history books: Soho.
hands russia people
The way the business things work in Russia is you have to meet people, you have to go through a certain amount of etiquette and business things are done just simply by a shake of the hand and whether they like you or not.
interesting long people
As long as ugly people are not on TV, you should only ever have interesting people on TV.
opportunity people saws
We just kind saw the images and knew the cliches, so to have the opportunity to go there and learn something about Russian music and about Russian people and to see things apart from being a tourist.
people albums way
It's a shame in a way that people come and go with one album.
