Quote

As a songwriter you have an umbilical cord to the song and it's hard to expand on your understanding of the lyrics. Whereas when you cover a song you can create your own reason why you're attached to it.

I don't consider my homosexuality a political thing. I consider it a sexual and spiritual thing. I only started going to political rallies to meet women.
K. D. Lang
Image
I grew up in cattle country-that's why I became a vegetarian. Meat stinks, for the animals, the environment, and your health.

Image
I believe in monogamy if that's what a couple decides upon together, but it all depends on the personal history and culture of the two involved.
K. D. Lang
Image
I never get tired of exploring Americana or country music, and I always have a little bit of a crooner in me that never seems to go away.
K. D. Lang
Image
My voice and the styles and genres I sing all express my appreciation for what I hear.
K. D. Lang
Image
I'm also alternative because of Canada - there's something romantic about being Canadian. We're a relatively unpopulated, somewhat civilized, and clean and resourceful country. I always push the fact that I'm Canadian.
K. D. Lang
Image
There are days when I still want to be able to do what I want when I want, but there's also something wonderful about being secure.

There needn't be a distinction between your life and your music.

We're in a period where society seems very attracted to flash, and that seeps into people's musical taste.
K. D. Lang
Image
I like the music. I don't like the business. I get very tired of the travel and moving, constantly moving. But the hour-and-a-half that I'm making music, I'm one of the happiest people on earth.
K. D. Lang
Image
I don't believe that human beings are necessarily monogamous.
K. D. Lang
Image
Spend time reflecting on your emotional and physical existence and how that applies to the voice. You have to apply that wisdom and experience when you sing - it's what comes through.
K. D. Lang
Image
I'm nearly 50. I'm past being photographed falling out of bars.
K. D. Lang
Image
I think masculinity is bravado against the mystery of the universe of women. It's just a fear of not knowing what women have that's so powerful. It's this shield they put up to try to get closer.
K. D. Lang
Image
I think I have allowed my voice to experiment with the different genres. And I think that I have just really enjoyed the journey of getting to know my voice and seeing what it's capable of, what it's not capable of.
K. D. Lang
Image
I just try to live a really simple, natural life, because obviously, life has an impact on your voice.
K. D. Lang
Image
I think I don't sing as hard as I used to sing. I used to kind of hit the accelerator a lot back in my youth, but now it's just being able to control it, and not work it so hard and use more of an emotional or sub textual kind of approach to singing.

Spirituality comes from questioning everything but at the same time accepting everything. You can even be spiritual watching TV. When the ad comes on and says, Don't hate me because I am beautiful, question that.
K. D. Lang
Image
When women make their image about youth and sexuality, and not about intellect, that's kind of a dead-end road. So I think it's a combination of self-entrapment and entrapment by society.

And I'm not even just talking artists, every single person in this nation has the right to be themselves, live life go team go. I love you Canada, thank you so much.
