I've always just felt like an outsider. I've always been made fun of in school ever since kindergarten. For me, when I started singing, that's when I started making "friends,".

But now, I can't really imagine it being the other way. — Jessie Ware

I really pulled from that repertoire that Billie Holiday was singing, and the way she sang it.

To me, that's her at the height of her powers. — Jose James
That's how it all started, when I met my wife. My music career, even though I started when I was 16, it never really started till I was like 30, when I started singing and writing my own songs, and that's when it really took off. But prior to that, I was just doing a bunch of covers. — Donavon Frankenreiter
One of the greatest pleasures I get from my measly professional career is confusing people.

It absolutely doesn't compute for them. I enjoy that immensely. — Jim Goad
