Pastoral Resources

The world's as ugly as sin, and almost as delightful.

I write a lot of lyrics and I'm involved in the producing process, because it's like, if I'm singing it, I want it to be something that I can relate to.

I really enjoy singing and I really enjoy acting, but singing I've been doing since I was really young.

I wanted to bring back that big, ballad type of music that we used to love so much. Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, when they first came out, that's what I grew up singing.

My parents wanted me to be a lawyer. But I don't think I would have been very happy. I'd be in front of the jury singing.

Singing your own songs is all about individual expression.

Sincerity is impossible, unless it pervade the whole being, and the pretence of it saps the very foundation of character.

I was just in the middle of singing a song about how broke we were and now my cell phone rings.

Everything that used to be a sin is now a disease.

People of substance may sin without being exposed for their stolen pleasure; but servants and the poorer sort of women have seldom an opportunity of concealing a big belly, or at least the consequences of it.

I have been singing for the last 50 years, you know, so I deserve a break. Besides, there are talented singers around who can do justice to their work.

There's really nothing else I'm going to do with my life. I'd be useless if I weren't singing or acting.

My singing is my hobby. It's me and my brother. We just enjoy writing music.
