More quotes by Josh Groban
There's no half-singing in the shower, you're either a rock star or an opera diva.
Josh Groban
As a new artist there's always outside influences trying to tell you how to make a song better for radio and how to do your hair.
Josh Groban
I wanted to focus on songs that I was inspired by growing up. I love so many of them from the last 100 years, but I really wanted, for my first step forward, to choose material that has inspired me and got me into the world of musical theater.
Josh Groban
The songs that I sing and the songs that I write have always just been what I feel my voice does well, and what my inspirations have been and a kind of culmination of everything.
Josh Groban
Music is what I always turn to when I'm feeling a certain way. It's my reason for everything.
Josh Groban
I did not practice hours a day for eighteen years to have my success attributed to a myth.
Josh Groban
I'm the depresso guy on holidays.
Josh Groban
I get terrible butterflies. Before I go onstage, I'll have to freak out for five minutes. I scream. It seems to help!
Josh Groban
Let me fall. Let me climb. There's a moment where fear and dream must collide.
Josh Groban
Music is so 100 percent for me that the idea of giving that up in any way, shape, or form would be terrifying to me.
Josh Groban
Singing brings out in me what I can't normally bring out in everyday life. It's an incredible feeling to be able to bare your soul to people you've never met in a way that can make them understand so clearly what you mean. That's what I love most about singing ... it becomes my truest form of communication.
Josh Groban
Even with our differences There is a place we're all connected Each of us can find each other's light, There's so much to be thankful for.
Josh Groban
If there is one thing that is constant in this world, it is the power of music.
Josh Groban
When I started in the music business, travel became a huge part of my world, where it hadn't been at all. I visited parts of the world that I'd never been to and found that I was spending maybe 30 days at home a year.
Josh Groban
Acting was definitely half of what I loved about storytelling and about theater. So, when I get a chance to do a cameo in a show or do a movie, it's a lot of fun and it's always great stepping outside of yourself and either playing a bizarro version of yourself or playing a character.
Josh Groban
When you're walking in, basically like a kid a candy store, to a project where there's an endless canon of material, you have to step back from it as a self-indulgence. You have to look at it neutrally.
Josh Groban
I try to have a real close connection with my fans. That's extremely important. They are the ones that have been there from the beginning and proved everyone else wrong.
Josh Groban
I have to work hard to not look like a nerd all the time. My friends are the only people I know that don't care about my image. I need to have people who treat me just as Josh, not as Josh the singer.
Josh Groban
Don't try to be like me. Try to be like yourself. Try to be very good at being yourself.
Josh Groban
It's really tough to make a name for yourself without compromising and without fitting yourself into a real specific mold. When I made the choice that I would be involved in every aspect of music and not necessarily make music for radio or MTV, I was saying, 'OK, this is me. You decide who it is.'
