But I still don't have a clear idea of what my voice is.
- Kathy Acker
I found my voice was a reaction to all that voice stuff.
- Kathy Acker
That you honestly believe I am capable of hurting innocent people for no reason."
"You're not?" I asked, hope softening my voice.
"Oh, no, I'm more than capable. I just didn't realize you
knew that.
- Darynda Jones
Wait, what are you doing?" She could apparently hear the strain in my voice as I craned my neck from side to side. "I'm trying to see past a little girl on my hood."
"Oh. Isn't that dangerous?"
"Normally. But she has a knife."
"Oh, well, then, I guess it's okay.
- Darynda Jones
My voice went recently, never happened before, off like a tap. I had to sit in silence for nine days, chalkboard around my neck. Like an old-school mime. Like a kid in the naughty corner. Like a Victorian mute.
- Adele
I've been singing properly every day since I was about fifteen or sixteen, and I have never had any problems with my voice, ever. I've had a sore throat here and there, had a cold and sung through it, but that day it just went while I was onstage in Paris during a radio show. It was literally like someone had pulled a curtain over it.
- Adele
thats it?" I say. Those were your worst fears? Why do you only have four..." My voice trails off. Only four fears.
"Oh" I look over my shoulder at him. "thats why they call you-
- Veronica Roth
The shouts of triumph become infectious, and I lift my voice to join in, running toward my teammates. Christina holds the flag up high, and everyone clusters around her, grabbing her arm to lift the flag even higher. I can't reach her, so I stand off to the side, grinning.
A hand touches my shoulder.
"Well done," Four says quietly.
- Veronica Roth
What could you give me," I ask, my voice shaking, "to make me forget... that you forgot about me?
- Jodi Picoult
I sigh. "But if you'd talked to Julesif she could hear you..." My voice trails off.
"Then you wouldn't feel quite so crazy?" Oliver asks gently. "Can't you believe in me, if I believe in you?
- Jodi Picoult
This was my voice, but perfectly wise, calm and compassionate. This was what my voice would sound like if I'd only ever experienced love and certainty in my life. How can I describe the warmth of affection in that voice, as it gave me the answer that would forever seal my faith in the divine?
- Elizabeth Gilbert
One day I promised God that if he would give me my voice back I would never smoke again. I got three octaves back after quitting.
- Mariah Carey
Mouse shook his head and locked eyes with Beckett. He can make fun of my voice all he wants, but if he ever calls you stupid again, I'll eat his brains for breakfast.
- Debra Anastasia
The cops say that thing:'anything you say will be used against you.' Self-incrimination. I looked it up. Three-point vocab word. So why does everyone make such a hairy deal about me not talking? Maybe I don't want to incriminate myself. Maybe I don't like the sound of my voice. Maybe I don't have anything to say.
- Laurie Halse Anderson
And you expect me to commute two hours each way from the Keep to the Order." I kept my voice mild. "I suppose I won't be needing my job, my house, or my clothes anymore."
"I didn't say that. Although let me get back to you on the clothes. It's still under consideration.
- Ilona Andrews
She put her hands over her face. Ah crap. What do I do now? Do I say something, do I not say something? I kept talking, keeping my voice as light as I could manage. Her shoulders shook slightly. She was crying. Fuck me. I sat there, not sure what to do with myself.
- Ilona Andrews
I almost had her."
Curran nodded. "I heard. And you could've taken her, too."
My voice came out flat. "Rub it in, why don't you."
He grinned. "No time for that now, maybe later."
I closed my eyes. There wouldn't be any later.
"Are you imagining me rubbing it in?" he asked.
- Ilona Andrews
Yes, it must be something that goes very well with my voice, let's say something that I understand that this would be good communication with the others, and I don't pretend for instance, to look for music that would be something that doesn't go with my personality.
- Victoria De Los Angeles
I choose gentleness... Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.
- Max Lucado
I never talked about you much. I said to Hardy. My voice sounded odd to my own ears.
Hardy stared into my eyes and nodded, understanding that some things mean too
much to be expressed easily.
- Lisa Kleypas
I thought if you wore that, no matter what face you saw every morning in the mirror," he said in his deep voice, "you'll never forget who you really are."
My eyes filling with tear, I held my hand out across the tabletop. He grasped my fingers, his grip strong and reassuring.
"As if I ever could," I said, my voice clogged with emotion, "with you around to remind me.
- Meg Cabot
Cursed?" I offered, my voice croaky because of my unshed tears.
"It isn't cursed." John said deliberately, rearranging the chain around my neck, "if you're wearing it. It's blessed.
- Meg Cabot
That's enough of that," Jesse said. Next thing I knew, he'd scooped me up.
Only instead of carrying me to my bed and setting me down on it all romantically, you know, like guys do to girls in the movies, he just dumped me onto it, so I bounced around and would have fallen off if I hadn't grabbed the edge of the mattress.
"Thanks," I said, not quite able to keep all of the sarcasm out of my voice.
- Meg Cabot
Jane Greyson had once told me that my voice was one of the Ancientsold and wise.
- Millicent Ashby
Far away beyond the pine-woods," he answered, in a low dreamy voice, "there is a little garden. There the grass grows long and deep, there are the great white stars of the hemlock flower, there the nightingale sings all night long. All night long he sings, and the cold, crystal moon looks down, and the yew-tree spreads out its giant arms over the sleepers.
- Oscar Wilde
I've been singing for six years. I've been in and out of the studios with top producers, but it wasn't something I was ready to express to the public or to the press. I wasn't ready to come out. I wanted to perfect my voice and be 100 percent positive that I could come out right.
- Tyra Banks
Well, what I tried to do is to just listen to my voice, because my voice is my boss. She decides.
- Cecilia Bartoli
But I think the only thing that annoys me about that is if I suddenly find someone on commercial radio or something like that, mimicking my voice or actions and trying to promote a product and pretending it's me doing it.
- Richie Benaud
We all perform our lives in a way. And the actor is a perfect metaphor to get at that theme of 'how do we find our authentic selves?' And that we all - whether we're actors or not - perform ourselves. As a way of searching. As a way of fumbling around and trying to say, is this my voice? Is this who I am?
- Annette Bening
I'm afraid my voice is going to break. I am afraid she is going to hear how much this hurts.
- Holly Black
I'm Sudafed-ed up, but it's alright because I'm having to do this rather sultry scene, so maybe it's OK that my voice is three octaves lower.
- Emily Blunt
I was blown away by the control and the range that I was hearing. I'm listening to Pavarotti and thinking, What the hell have I been doing with my voice all these years?
- Michael Bolton
O, grief hath changed me since you saw me last,
And careful hours with Time's deformed hand
Have written strange defeatures in my face.
But tell me yet, dost thou not know my voice?
- William Shakespeare
It took me a long time to find my voice as a singer, and I'm happy that I did.
- Wes Borland
I want to be part of your story. I want your story to rearrange the symbols in my mind. I want your voice to be my voice.
- David Bowles
It was my Mum who got me into singing properly - she knew I had to do something with my voice because she knew I was talented. She was the one who pushed me into joining a choir all those years ago, when I was about 12. I remember she told me to start with the choir and just see where it took me.
- Susan Boyle
My first album was me finding myself and my voice, finding how I sing. I was rolling with the punches because everything was new to me.
- Chris Brown
I cry to you, my Lord, my rock! Do not be deaf to me, for if you are silent, I shall go down to the pit like the rest. Hear my voice raised in petition as I cry to you for help, as I raise my hands, my Lord, toward your holy of holies.
- Nicholas Sparks
I take care of my voice; I'm working out the way I would do my body, so that stays in shape.
- David Coverdale
My voice is an instrument.
- David Coverdale
I get to study and I got to mimic and what I basically did was I stole from every person that I could steal from. I was an imitator. That's what I was. It was years before I could take all of these things that I loved about all of these different artists and put them together and find my voice.
- Michael Buble
T Bone is genius. The way they've recorded my voice and the instrumentation to these songs is really quite extraordinary.
- Betty Buckley
T Bone and I grew up together in Fort Worth, Texas. He had his own recording studio by the time he was seventeen years old. When we were both nineteen he made the first archival recording of my voice.
- Betty Buckley
When you remember me, it means you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. I means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me. It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart.
- Frederick Buechner
I have agreed to lend my voice to Nature's Guard, an animated series which hopefully will go into production in the near future. The characters are all animals. My voice will be for a character named Longtail.
- Jeremy Bulloch
I turned and faced the Olympians.
"We need a shroud," I announced, my voice cracking. "A shroud for the son of Hermes.
- Rick Riordan
My glowing form was so heavy, its feet sank into the top of the tank.
"Sekhmet!" I yelled.
The lioness whirled and snarled, trying to locate my voice.
"Up here, kitty!" I called.
She spotted me and her ears went back. "Horus?"
'Unless you know another guy with a falcon head.
- Rick Riordan
I try to have my voice be heard, but not on a regular basis on TV.
- Jeb Bush
I find my voice and manage to say those three one-syllable words back to him. Words I haven't uttered in a very, very long time. Words that meant nothing before now.
- Emily Giffin
Paul?" I said.
My voice shook a little. "It's Jo." Silence. I couldn't tell what was happening on the other end.
Then, very quietly, "Jesus."
"No, just Joanne, although I can see how you might make the mistake, coming back from the dead and all.
- Rachel Caine
I cannot switch my voice. My voice is not like an elevator going up and down.
- Maria Callas
First I lost my voice, then I lost my figure and then I lost Onassis.
- Maria Callas
They'll be granted immunity!" I feel myself rising from my chair, my voice full of resonant. "You will personally pledge this in front of the entire population of District Thirteen and the remainder of Twelve. Soon. Today. It will be recorded for future generations. You will hold yourself and your government responsible for their safty, or you'll find yourself another Mockingjay!
- Suzanne Collins
My voice, at first rough and breaking on the high notes, warms up into something splendid. A voice that would make the mockingjays fall silent and then tumble over themselves to join in.
- Suzanne Collins
There's always hand-to-hand combat. All you need is to come up with a knife, and you'll at least stand a chance. If I get jumped, I'm dead!" I can hear my voice rising in anger.
"But you won't! You'll be living up in some tree eating raw squirrels and picking off people with arrows.
- Suzanne Collins
However, if you listen to me I think you can hear years of abuse in my voice - both bad abuse and good abuse.
- Belinda Carlisle
In the second installment, I pretty much dominate the show. Somehow or another, though, I manage to apparently dominate the first show pretty well with just my voice and my hands and a shot of my boots kicking cartridges out of the way.
- David Carradine
I drink booze, I smoke, and I'm hooked on caffeine. I actually have been known to swear at times and belch and even raise my voice when provoked. And I'm not physically repressed!
- Helena Bonham Carter
I know that I can sing really loud. It's like having that really big Evinrude engine on the back of your fishing boat. But I've been trying to be more dynamic with my voice, and not just singing on 10 all of the time out of terror.
- Neko Case
Well, the first year I lost my voice I didn't mind so much because I was going to have a baby and I was distracted with him anyway, I didn't even think about it that much, well, OK, this is what's happening.
- Rosanne Cash
And I kind of said to myself if I get my voice back I'm not going to take back the old anxiety about it and just focus on the limitations. I'm really going to enjoy it.
- Rosanne Cash
Arrogance is in everything I do. It is in my gestures, the harshness of my voice, in the glow of my gaze, in my sinewy, tormented face.
- Coco Chanel
The voices on the record, that was trying to treat my voice like guitar players treat guitar tones.
- Gary Cherone
I know I'm not a great singer. But I love to sing and I like to use my voice in different ways.
- Melanie Chisholm
I'm just experimenting with every different type of music you can imagine and seeing where my voice lies and what sounds best. I think when I do finally do the album it will be very eclectic - just loads of different stuff on it. That's what I am hoping.
- Charlotte Church
People hear the soul, black influence in my voice. I grew up listening to CKLW and all the black stations like WLBS.
- Madonna Ciccone
When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again
And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh if my voice could reach back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear:
Oh darling I wish you were here.
- Owl City
But I think mostly it's your eyes. I want something from them no one else gets from them.'
'And what's that?' I asked, my voice low, almost hoarse. His words had affected me as deeply as any aphrodisiac.
'Soft.' His own voice had deepened with the highly sexual atmosphere. 'Soft the way only a woman's can be after she's come for me.
- Samantha Young
I've abused myself a lot over the years. But my voice is still intact - really, it's better.
- Jimmy Cliff
I have gotten more than I asked for. All that I ever wanted was to hear my voice on record and have a song among the Top 20.
- Patsy Cline
I sing louder and he looks right at me, finally getting it, because what I am saying with the rise of my voice is that I know he understands what music is about, he has seen the Lord in it, even if it's not my Lord.
- David Levithan
I have found my voice again and the art of using it..
- Colette
I do better singing female songs because my voice is so high-pitched.
- Chris Colfer
I usually hang around the room listening to a bit of last night's show. If there's one available, I go to the steam room every day for my voice. I spend half an hour there and then I eat, because I can't eat later than four o'clock. Then I go for a soundcheck. That's my day.
- Phil Collins
I like to jump some rope and swing kettle bells to get my blood pumping. It makes my voice sound better, and it clears my head.
- Harry Connick Jr
I believe my voice is pretty much the same. I've written 75 books, so I'm better at it now than I was earlier in my career.
- Caroline B Cooney
I launched Chefs for Humanity, a national nonprofit, with my voice, heart and money from my own pocket. Money gives you the ability to make a difference in the world and, when used in a positive way, is a lot of fun.
- Cat Cora
I think it's his perception of knowing how to make a record build, keeping the integrity of the song in the music and really adding a lot of musical elements to compliment my voice and to compliment the song.
- Deborah Cox
Drunken party friends can still kiss, right?"
His voice was low and rumbling and I heard my breath catch as I fought to steady my voice.
"We're not drunk."
"You didn't answer my question," he breathed.
I licked my lips again subconsciously and once again regretted it as I saw his eyes watching me intently. He probably thought I was doing it on purpose to taunt him.
"Um.
- Shelly Crane
Sonofabitch answer me!" My voice bounced off the walls, made the whole room whirls around me. My blood pounded in my ears. Adreline poured through my blood, copper winding me tighter and tighter.
"YES!" he screamed back "yes. i am a fucking virgin, don't shoot me goddammit fucking please!
- Lili St Crow
Shanks moaned, stirring. "You broke my nuts"
So that was what my elbow had hit. "Sorry." My voice cracked.
- Lili St Crow
My voice wouldn't work right. I made a tiny nod instead, because - how's this for weird? - I didn't want him to let go of me. He'd pulled back a little, with just his lower half, and I was afraid the scorch in my cheeks would set fire to the rest of me, because I had an idea why.
Wow. Oh, wow.
- Lili St Crow
Answer this question very carefully, kid. Are you a virgin?"
The silence was so long I thought I was going to have to ask him again.
"What the hell?" He sounded honestly perplexed.
"Yes or no? Are you a virgin?" I lost control halfway through. My voice spiraled up into a scream... "Sonofabitch answer me!"
"Yes!" he screamed back. "Yes, I'm a fucking virgin, don't shoot me goddammit fucking please!
- Lili St Crow
I told her yeah, but there was no skin on my voice and she heard the bones in my words like I did. And I knew.
- Cath Crowley
There was no skin on my voice and she heard the bones in my words.
- Cath Crowley
My first job now is as a mother, everything else is secondary. My kids understand that I am an actress, and they are always so surprised to hear my voice on a cartoon character, or see my face on a video box. If it ever gets to be too much though, the career and the kids, I will simply set the career aside.
- Joan Cusack
And if this House is to be scared, by whatever influences, from its duty, to receive and hear the petitions of the People, then I shall send my voice beyond the walls of this Capitol for redress.

When preparing for a concert, I do lots of training. I work with a choreographer to create great moves and then I have to keep my voice strong with lessons.
- Miley Cyrus
I have had fans make me the big picture collages of the photo books; I have had fans send me birthday cakes... sing to me on my voicemail. I have had fans flash me. I have had older fans give me their bras and underwear onstage.
- Puff Daddy
First of all, you have to understand that I'm like anybody else. When I hear my voice on a record I absolutely loathe my voice. I cannot stand my voice.
- Roger Daltrey
I couldn't have recorded this record 15 years ago. My voice didn't have the depth to pull these songs off.
- John Mellencamp
The day will come
When my body no longer exists
But in the lines of this poem
I will never let you be alone
The day will come
When my voice is no longer heard
But within the words of this poem
I will continue to watch over you
The day will come
When my dreams are no longer known
But in the spaces found in the letters of this poem
I will never tired of looking for you
- Sapardi Djoko Damono
The little song and dance number at the end - that's me, my voice, howling out. It was a new experience for me. I've never sung before and I've certainly never sung on screen. I think I sung on stage when I was 13 and for some reason nobody's asked me to try it again since.
- Hugh Dancy
I was always in bands before, but on 'American Idol,' it was about getting my voice out there. It was always my goal, though, to get a band together again.
- Chris Daughtry
I just don't know," I said, my voice sounding bumby, not like mine, "how do you help someone who doesn't want your help. What do you do when you can't do anything?
- Sarah Dessen
He says, "Your husband fucked my wife."
We look at each other and this time it's different. Now I know him.
"My husband didn't fuck your wife." My voice is soft. Not amorous, but the tone of a bewildered child. "They had a relationship, then came home and fucked us.
- Eric Jerome Dickey
I then realized that I could never be satisfied again with the mere natural charm of my voice, that I had to constantly paint when singing, melting all the colors, expressing reds and blacks that had to be less primary but bursting with subtly colored combinations.
- Placido Domingo
Between parts I was too old for and roles that were too overwhelming, out of reach then for my voice. I carved out a niche with the Wagnerian repertoire since I am attracted by its theatrical intensity.
- Placido Domingo
But I won't deprive myself of singing opera as long as my voice follows.
- Placido Domingo
I want a big dark room you can barely move in, with bodies grinding close together. I want to hear a thousand songs played incredibly loud. I want to dance so fast that my hair grows long enough to trample on. I want my voice to be thunderous above the throb of bass. I want to get so hot that I have to crunch ice in my mouth.
- Jenny Downham
I started taking singing classes just two years ago. It was great. I never knew I could sing but I kind of found my voice.
- Hilary Duff
I didn't have to wait six years to get my show on the air, worry that someone else had a similar idea, or wait around for notes that took my voice out of the show.
- Lena Dunham
I stopped smoking. When I stopped smoking, my voice changed... so drastically, I couldn't believe it myself.

Nothing can affect my voice, it's so bad.

My voice and movements are restricted by the things I own.
- Dave Eggers
Nefertiti!" I shouted. "Meritaten!" How could they both be gone? Where could they be? I rounded the corner to the window of Appearences, then opened the door.
The blood had already spread across the tiles.
"Nefertiti!" I screamed, and my voice echoed through the palace.
- Michelle Moran
LAST NITE I HAD A DREAM. NOW I KNOW FOUR THINGS. I KNOW THAT MY VOICE DOESN'T CHANGE BUT I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY. I KNOW THAT I AM GOD'S INSTRUMENT. I KNOW WHEN I'M GOING TO DIE AND NOW A DREAM HAS SHOWN ME HOW I'M GOING TO DIE. I'M GOING TO BE A HERO! I TRUST THAT GOD WILL HELP ME, BECAUSE WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO LOOKS VERY HARD.
- John Irving
We're going bowling?' I can't keep the disappointment of of my voice. Bowling is not badass.
- Leanne Hall
There are some different things I'm writing and developing, but I don't know where they'll go. They're fun stuff that I would be in and are written in my voice, for me.
- Abby Elliott
What about you? What do you do?" I needed to ask questions, draw him out. I needed to find out all the information I could. My voice sounded strong and smooth, but my hands were shaking. I put them in my lap so he couldn't see.
"I prey on innocent villagers and terrify their children," he said with a nasty smile. "And sometimes when I'm feeling really evil, I read books or paint.
- Kate Avery Ellison
I use my voice as an instrument.
- Enya
Shadow and dust shall be reclaimed, earth sealing the tomb from which you came. Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, warrior return, breathe your last. Air, earth, fire, water, hear my voice, obey my order, thrice around your grave do bound, evil sink into the ground. I now invoke the law of three, this is my will, so mote it be.
- Christine Feehan
I can sing, but my voice is untrained. I'd like to do a musical someday.
- Sherilyn Fenn
But actually just yesterday we raised the key of one of my songs two steps up, so my voice is obviously responding. It's a muscle, and the more you use it, the more you use it right, the more you should get out of it. So yes, I sing.
- Harvey Fierstein
Actually, I think the average voice is like 70 percent tone and 30 percent noise. My voice is 95 percent noise.

The world is full of more interesting things than my voice.

I want to keep my voice young, with nothing heavy.

Contrary to the norm, as my technique improved my voice became higher.

It's so hard to express yourself.'
I understand this.'
I want to express myself.'
The same is true for me.'
I'm looking for my voice.'
It's in your mouth.'
I want to do something I'm not ashamed of.'
Something you are proud of, yes?'
Not even. I just don't want to be ashamed.
- Jonathan Safran Foer
I don't like the sound of my voice.
- Megan Fox
I dropped my voice and stared into her eyes. I could tell she was trying hard not to look away. I was so furious I could have cheerfully ripped her head off. "But you're going to find out, Mom,' I said very softly."And it's gonna give you nightmares for the rest of your wasted life."
Oh, my God, I was so badass. It was all I could do to not give a MWA HA HA!
- James Patterson
Part 5
The Voice-
Make that my voice
- James Patterson
Fang," I said, my voice breaking. "Just live, okay? Live and be okay."
With no warning, I leaned down and kissed his mouth, just like that.
"Ow," he said, touching his split lip, then he and I stared at each other in shock.
- James Patterson
Maybe it's information the whitecoats never wanted anyone to figure out.' Fang said in the hollow Twilight Zone-y voice he used sometimes when things got unusually weird- as opposed to regular weird.
- James Patterson
Angel is right,"said Dr. G-H quickly. "This is my clumsy way of demonstrating."
"Demonstrating what?" I was barely able to keep a snarl out of my voice. "How to get yourself beat up in one easy step?
- James Patterson
I have been the subject of ridicule. People talk about me and they don't know me and this is an opportunity to tell my story... to have my voice and to set the record straight.
- Amber Frey
There are two kinds of people,' she'd said. 'Those who coast through life like ducks in a row, following one after the other, and those who ride the waves.'" Tears spilled down my cheeks, and my voice cracked. "'Ride the waves, baby, and live. Live.
- Gena Showalter
You are my whole heart, Scarlet. And this is breaking it.'
My heart cracked open and clear dropped out of me. My mouth opened, and I looked round me and stamped my foot. 'Does this look like a good time to tell me that, you damn stupid boy?' I meant to sound mean but my voice wobbled. 'Now?'
He gave a little smile. 'My foul-mouthed warrior.

My voice, I have to say, is kind of miraculous because I was born with a cleft palate.

Right now, my voice is better than ever. It changed. I have better low notes than I had before.
- Eydie Gorme
My voice right now, hey, listen. I don't know how long it's going to last.

Music is my voice, which illuminates my soul. To deny me this inspiration, is to mute my contemplations on life.
- Patricia H Graham
I consider my voice to be a centrist moderate voice among the nine Democratic candidates.
- Bob Graham
Do not feed that beggar. Hamlet, lie down." The dog ignored her.
"Down," Viktor ordered, his deep voice stern. The dog whined and then lay down. The prince looked at her. "You need to be more forceful."
"I suppose my forcefulness will improve once my voice changes. Sopranos get no respect.
- Patricia Grasso
Tell me why." My voice shook. "Tell me right now.
- Claudia Gray
The characters in the book grow up with us. My voice has broken as well.
- Rupert Grint
Returning my voice to a conversational level, I called back, "Nora, I'm not
attempting to embarrass you or single you out. I know you're capable. But stay behind Chas, okay? You die, you d i e permanently, and for various reasons that we've already gotten angsty about together, I don't want that to happen."
"Okay, okay," she sighed.
"Angsty?" Chas asked. "Ooh! Later, details!"
"Yes, later." With that, I waved the team forward.
- Lia Habel
The reason my voice is sounding more passionate is because I'm singing directly from the heart.
- Sammy Hagar
Sage shifted beneath me. I put one of my hands back into his thick hair and left it there, pretending I needed to hold him. It took all my willpower not to start playing with it.
"I guess you don't do this very often," I told him, my voice cracking slightly.
I couldn't see his face but I could feel him smile. "No. Usually my head's turned the other way around.
- Karina Halle

- Hanoi Hannah
We could go back," he said. In the dome light of the car, his face looked hard as stone. "We could go back to your house. I can stay with you always. We can know each other's bodies in every way, night after night. I could love you." His nostrils flared, and he looked suddenly proud. "I could work. You would not be poor. I would help you."
"Sounds like a marriage," I said, trying to lighten the atmosphere. But my voice was too shaky.
"Yes," he said.
- Charlaine Harris
How grateful are you?" he whispered, his mouth hovering over mine. His eyes were very alert now, and his gaze was boring into mine.
"That kind of ruins it, when you say something like that," I said, trying to keep my voice gentle. "You shouldn't want me to have sex with you just because I owe you."
"I don't really care why you have sex with me, as long as you do it," he said, equally gently.
- Charlaine Harris
So I got interested in singing and I have always used my voice. Not professionally as much, but around the living room, the campfire, that kind of thing.
- Gregory Harrison
I think my voice worked out fine, but it was a lot of work for me. And I was very self-conscious about it. I was a bit self-conscious about writing lyrics too.
- Jerry Harrison
I blinked at him. "What does salt have to do with any of this?"
"It protects you from evil."
"Salt?" Disbelief all but dripped from my voice. I couldn't help it. "Table salt? How is seasoning myself going to help? This isn't a dinner party.
- Alyxandra Harvey
You know how bad my voice sounds - well it feels just as bad.
- George Herman
For myself, for a long time... maybe I felt inauthentic or something, I felt like my voice wasn't worth hearing, and I think everyone's voice is worth hearing. So if you've got something to say, say it from the rooftops.
- Tom Hiddleston
The motivation part is all essential in keeping my voice, but there are the human factors of discipline.
- Jerome Hines
Fix me," I commanded him. "This thing, what I've done - there's something wrong with me, Noah. Fix it."
Noah's expression broke my heart as he brushed my hair from my face, and skimmed the line of my neck. "I can't"
"Why not?" I asked, my voice threatening to crack.
"Because," he said, "You're not broken.
- Michelle Hodkin
You know, my dear, I insured my voice for fifty thousand dollars.
- Miriam Hopkins
And in singing, what my voice lacked in quality it made up for in volume.
- Hedda Hopper
It totally ruins my voice. I quit smoking, drinking, and doing ecstasy.
- Mark Hoppus
I sing a lot, even with my voice.
- Heidi Klum
I won't bite."
"Are you sure?" My voice was rough.
"I won't bite right now," he said with a ghost of a smile.
The soft expression bemused me enough so that the gentle patting lured me to the recliner. Logan wrapped strong arms around me and pulled me into his lap.
My butt fit him like we were interlocking puzzle pieces.
- Mary Hughes
You can bullied as a young model, but there was a point where I found my voice, effectively.
- Rosie Huntingtonwhiteley
So there was something of a learning curve with doing your own thing and people seeing you outside of the band. I mean, people have never really heard my voice before - or heard a whole record of mine before. So it was a completely new experience.
- James Iha
I now can be sure that, once I start writing a book, I'll be able to finish it. I've also become more assured about my 'voice' as a writer and being able to keep the characters true to themselves.
- J A Jance
But ya know what, I am a part of something that happened. I'm a part of the music that happened. My voice is one more instrument, is what it is. So that's the way I feel about people who play on sessions.
- Waylon Jennings
Sometimes when I hear my voice on tape, I'm like, 'Who is that horrible man?'
- David Johansen
None within the sound of my voice should be in any doubt concerning what is moral and what is not, nor should any be in doubt about what is expected of us ... We have been and continue to be taught God's laws. Despite what you may see or hear elsewhere, these laws are unchanging.
- Thomas S Monson
You can't be a sexy person unless you have something sexy to offer. With me, it's my voice: the way that I sing, the way I express myself when I sing.
- Tom Jones
There's plenty for me to do. There are more albums. I'll record as long as I can and as long as my voice works as well as it does now and for as long as people want to hear me.
- Tom Jones
But you're worried I'll get in trouble?" I try not to show how much this pleases me. I've managed to ignore him for days now and here I sit. Lapping up his attention like a neglected puppy. My voice takes on an edge. "Why do you care? I've ignored you for days."
His smile fades. He looks serious, mockingly so. "Yeah. You got to stop that.
- Sophie Jordan
Only now, here with Will, I realize I'm something more. Someone not bound by the rules of her pride, her race, her family. Someone who can be loved for herself, draki or not.
"I thought about you," I whisper, my voice not my own. It belongs to someone else. Someone brave, someone about to risk everything and follow her heart. "I've never stopped thinking about you." Somehow, I doubt I ever will.
- Sophie Jordan
What drew me to politics in the first place was the fact that I wanted to have a place to take a stand and use my voice to express what I believed in. But I've no longer got any political aspirations. I feel that as a politician, fifty per cent of people would hate you before you even left the house.
- Jon Bon Jovi
I don't fear death; I fear remaining silent in the face of injustice. I am young and I want to live. But I say to those who would eliminate my voice: I am ready, wherever and whenever you might strike. You can cut down the flower, but nothing can stop the coming of the spring.
- Malalai Joya
Who wants to be the unsung hero of my voiceless choir quartet?
- Jarod Kintz
I prefer to let my voice do all the talking for me.
- Jarod Kintz
I like the way my voice sounded. But it sounds different to me than to you, because it only enters your ears from the outside, while my voice enters my head from the outside and the inside.
- Jarod Kintz
When I get angry I tend to raise my voicewith a forklift. Hang on to my handlebar mustache if you want me to peddle faster.
- Jarod Kintz
Don't breathe on my voice, I yelled through my ears. But who's there to listen, when I'm all alone and wearing earplugs.
- Jarod Kintz
If my voice sounded like a dial tone, people would probably hang up on me all the time.
- Jarod Kintz
I think, uh, I might be in love with you, I said, my voice sounding gruff and awkward even to my own ears.
- Stacey Kade
When I perform Strauss, it is as if the music fits me like a glove. My voice seems to lie in a happy area in this music, which is lyrical and passionate at the same time.
- Kiri Te Kanawa
Some may say I'm perceptive"
"And what would you say?" I ask, my voice edgy, tired of being toyed with.
"I'd say I agree.
- Alyson Noel
If you insist on the chase," I say, my voice much surer than I feel."Then you better start training. 'Cause, dude you're in for a marathon.
- Alyson Noel
Her body disappears like my voice
When I look too closely in the mirror
Without the pages of a notebook, a pen
To save me.
- Stasia Ward Kehoe
My voice had a long, nonstop career. It deserves to be put to bed with quiet and dignity, not yanked out every once in a while to see if it can still do what it used to do. It can't.
- Beverly Sills
I get a lot of recognition for my voice. That always surprises me.
- Moira Kelly
You know, I like playing around with my voice and trying all different types of kooky voices.
- Moira Kelly
I have to have some of my voice because I have my own experiences that I lived through.
- Jamie Kennedy
My voice is clotted with unshed tears.
- Sophie Kinsella
My voice is like a rumour. I'm not sure if it came out or not, or if it is true.
- Markus Zusak
That guy in a twenty-five cent bleacher seat is as much entitled to know a call as the guy in the boxes. He can see my arm signal even if he can't hear my voice.
- Bill Klem
I sit up straighter and puff out my chest a little bit, unsure why I'm doing so even as I do it. I know when I speak I'll have dropped my voice an octave to make myself seem more manly, and when I shake he hand, my grip will be tight and strong. Stupid, I know, but I'm a guy. It's what we do.
- Tj Klune
I moved closer as I dragged myself through the frozen bracken. "Who's coming?" My voice trembled like an autumn leaf in the wind.
"Your Angels," he replied breathily right before he crumpled to the ground in a great heap.
My body went into sensory overload. I was hurt, angry, broken, sad, terrified, and... hopeful. He said my Angels were coming.
- Laura Kreitzer
I don't sing anything that hurts my voice.
- K D Lang
I sort of believe that my voice was preordained; I'm a Buddhist who believes in reincarnation so I think that my voice is a few lifetimes old.
- K D Lang
My voice and the styles and genres I sing all express my appreciation for what I hear.
- K D Lang
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
I worked on my voice for Sweet Dreams, but only to match my speaking voice to Patsy's actual singing voice. That was my way into that character.
- Jessica Lange
I hope they see the genuine side of me, of my music, of my voice. I hope that they feel me. I hope that what I sing and what I say really gets across to the viewer because everything that comes out is true.
- Stefano Langone
I lost my voice for the first time. I was so bummed out, but it happens to every singer at some point in their career. I don't think most people understand, but I sing every night and sometimes we do five shows in a row, which is really bad for your voice.
- Avril Lavigne
Arthur!' I cried, but my voice was lost in the battle roar. The seething waters of the enemy host closed over the place where he had been.
- Stephen R Lawhead
They really can't imagine what my voice is like. Every time I sing a song, they are very surprised.
- Coco Lee
She glides to a stop in front of me, all grace and luscious skin. Her bare chest and shoulders glow in the low light. I want to touch her, caress her, so much so that I ball my fingers into tight fists to keep them to myself.
"You look beautiful." My voice sounds strained, even to my own ears.
- M Leighton
I was supposed to be meeting someone, but they had to cancel. After I'd already gotten here, of course," I explain, bitterness dripping from my voice.
"Want me to kick his ass?" he asks. I look up at him and he's grinning at me over the top of his glass.
"No. You might be embarrassed when she gets the better of you.
- M Leighton
- Kathy Acker
I found my voice was a reaction to all that voice stuff.
- Kathy Acker
That you honestly believe I am capable of hurting innocent people for no reason."
"You're not?" I asked, hope softening my voice.
"Oh, no, I'm more than capable. I just didn't realize you
knew that.
- Darynda Jones
Wait, what are you doing?" She could apparently hear the strain in my voice as I craned my neck from side to side. "I'm trying to see past a little girl on my hood."
"Oh. Isn't that dangerous?"
"Normally. But she has a knife."
"Oh, well, then, I guess it's okay.
- Darynda Jones
My voice went recently, never happened before, off like a tap. I had to sit in silence for nine days, chalkboard around my neck. Like an old-school mime. Like a kid in the naughty corner. Like a Victorian mute.
- Adele
I've been singing properly every day since I was about fifteen or sixteen, and I have never had any problems with my voice, ever. I've had a sore throat here and there, had a cold and sung through it, but that day it just went while I was onstage in Paris during a radio show. It was literally like someone had pulled a curtain over it.
- Adele
thats it?" I say. Those were your worst fears? Why do you only have four..." My voice trails off. Only four fears.
"Oh" I look over my shoulder at him. "thats why they call you-
- Veronica Roth
The shouts of triumph become infectious, and I lift my voice to join in, running toward my teammates. Christina holds the flag up high, and everyone clusters around her, grabbing her arm to lift the flag even higher. I can't reach her, so I stand off to the side, grinning.
A hand touches my shoulder.
"Well done," Four says quietly.
- Veronica Roth
What could you give me," I ask, my voice shaking, "to make me forget... that you forgot about me?
- Jodi Picoult
I sigh. "But if you'd talked to Julesif she could hear you..." My voice trails off.
"Then you wouldn't feel quite so crazy?" Oliver asks gently. "Can't you believe in me, if I believe in you?
- Jodi Picoult
This was my voice, but perfectly wise, calm and compassionate. This was what my voice would sound like if I'd only ever experienced love and certainty in my life. How can I describe the warmth of affection in that voice, as it gave me the answer that would forever seal my faith in the divine?
- Elizabeth Gilbert
One day I promised God that if he would give me my voice back I would never smoke again. I got three octaves back after quitting.
- Mariah Carey
Mouse shook his head and locked eyes with Beckett. He can make fun of my voice all he wants, but if he ever calls you stupid again, I'll eat his brains for breakfast.
- Debra Anastasia
The cops say that thing:'anything you say will be used against you.' Self-incrimination. I looked it up. Three-point vocab word. So why does everyone make such a hairy deal about me not talking? Maybe I don't want to incriminate myself. Maybe I don't like the sound of my voice. Maybe I don't have anything to say.
- Laurie Halse Anderson
And you expect me to commute two hours each way from the Keep to the Order." I kept my voice mild. "I suppose I won't be needing my job, my house, or my clothes anymore."
"I didn't say that. Although let me get back to you on the clothes. It's still under consideration.
- Ilona Andrews
She put her hands over her face. Ah crap. What do I do now? Do I say something, do I not say something? I kept talking, keeping my voice as light as I could manage. Her shoulders shook slightly. She was crying. Fuck me. I sat there, not sure what to do with myself.
- Ilona Andrews
I almost had her."
Curran nodded. "I heard. And you could've taken her, too."
My voice came out flat. "Rub it in, why don't you."
He grinned. "No time for that now, maybe later."
I closed my eyes. There wouldn't be any later.
"Are you imagining me rubbing it in?" he asked.
- Ilona Andrews
Yes, it must be something that goes very well with my voice, let's say something that I understand that this would be good communication with the others, and I don't pretend for instance, to look for music that would be something that doesn't go with my personality.
- Victoria De Los Angeles
I choose gentleness... Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.
- Max Lucado
I never talked about you much. I said to Hardy. My voice sounded odd to my own ears.
Hardy stared into my eyes and nodded, understanding that some things mean too
much to be expressed easily.
- Lisa Kleypas
I thought if you wore that, no matter what face you saw every morning in the mirror," he said in his deep voice, "you'll never forget who you really are."
My eyes filling with tear, I held my hand out across the tabletop. He grasped my fingers, his grip strong and reassuring.
"As if I ever could," I said, my voice clogged with emotion, "with you around to remind me.
- Meg Cabot
Cursed?" I offered, my voice croaky because of my unshed tears.
"It isn't cursed." John said deliberately, rearranging the chain around my neck, "if you're wearing it. It's blessed.
- Meg Cabot
That's enough of that," Jesse said. Next thing I knew, he'd scooped me up.
Only instead of carrying me to my bed and setting me down on it all romantically, you know, like guys do to girls in the movies, he just dumped me onto it, so I bounced around and would have fallen off if I hadn't grabbed the edge of the mattress.
"Thanks," I said, not quite able to keep all of the sarcasm out of my voice.
- Meg Cabot
Jane Greyson had once told me that my voice was one of the Ancientsold and wise.
- Millicent Ashby
Far away beyond the pine-woods," he answered, in a low dreamy voice, "there is a little garden. There the grass grows long and deep, there are the great white stars of the hemlock flower, there the nightingale sings all night long. All night long he sings, and the cold, crystal moon looks down, and the yew-tree spreads out its giant arms over the sleepers.
- Oscar Wilde
I've been singing for six years. I've been in and out of the studios with top producers, but it wasn't something I was ready to express to the public or to the press. I wasn't ready to come out. I wanted to perfect my voice and be 100 percent positive that I could come out right.
- Tyra Banks
Well, what I tried to do is to just listen to my voice, because my voice is my boss. She decides.
- Cecilia Bartoli
But I think the only thing that annoys me about that is if I suddenly find someone on commercial radio or something like that, mimicking my voice or actions and trying to promote a product and pretending it's me doing it.
- Richie Benaud
We all perform our lives in a way. And the actor is a perfect metaphor to get at that theme of 'how do we find our authentic selves?' And that we all - whether we're actors or not - perform ourselves. As a way of searching. As a way of fumbling around and trying to say, is this my voice? Is this who I am?
- Annette Bening
I'm afraid my voice is going to break. I am afraid she is going to hear how much this hurts.
- Holly Black
I'm Sudafed-ed up, but it's alright because I'm having to do this rather sultry scene, so maybe it's OK that my voice is three octaves lower.
- Emily Blunt
I was blown away by the control and the range that I was hearing. I'm listening to Pavarotti and thinking, What the hell have I been doing with my voice all these years?
- Michael Bolton
O, grief hath changed me since you saw me last,
And careful hours with Time's deformed hand
Have written strange defeatures in my face.
But tell me yet, dost thou not know my voice?
- William Shakespeare
It took me a long time to find my voice as a singer, and I'm happy that I did.
- Wes Borland
I want to be part of your story. I want your story to rearrange the symbols in my mind. I want your voice to be my voice.
- David Bowles
It was my Mum who got me into singing properly - she knew I had to do something with my voice because she knew I was talented. She was the one who pushed me into joining a choir all those years ago, when I was about 12. I remember she told me to start with the choir and just see where it took me.
- Susan Boyle
My first album was me finding myself and my voice, finding how I sing. I was rolling with the punches because everything was new to me.
- Chris Brown
I cry to you, my Lord, my rock! Do not be deaf to me, for if you are silent, I shall go down to the pit like the rest. Hear my voice raised in petition as I cry to you for help, as I raise my hands, my Lord, toward your holy of holies.
- Nicholas Sparks
I take care of my voice; I'm working out the way I would do my body, so that stays in shape.
- David Coverdale
My voice is an instrument.
- David Coverdale
I get to study and I got to mimic and what I basically did was I stole from every person that I could steal from. I was an imitator. That's what I was. It was years before I could take all of these things that I loved about all of these different artists and put them together and find my voice.
- Michael Buble
T Bone is genius. The way they've recorded my voice and the instrumentation to these songs is really quite extraordinary.
- Betty Buckley
T Bone and I grew up together in Fort Worth, Texas. He had his own recording studio by the time he was seventeen years old. When we were both nineteen he made the first archival recording of my voice.
- Betty Buckley
When you remember me, it means you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. I means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me. It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart.
- Frederick Buechner
I have agreed to lend my voice to Nature's Guard, an animated series which hopefully will go into production in the near future. The characters are all animals. My voice will be for a character named Longtail.
- Jeremy Bulloch
I turned and faced the Olympians.
"We need a shroud," I announced, my voice cracking. "A shroud for the son of Hermes.
- Rick Riordan
My glowing form was so heavy, its feet sank into the top of the tank.
"Sekhmet!" I yelled.
The lioness whirled and snarled, trying to locate my voice.
"Up here, kitty!" I called.
She spotted me and her ears went back. "Horus?"
'Unless you know another guy with a falcon head.
- Rick Riordan
I try to have my voice be heard, but not on a regular basis on TV.
- Jeb Bush
I find my voice and manage to say those three one-syllable words back to him. Words I haven't uttered in a very, very long time. Words that meant nothing before now.
- Emily Giffin
Paul?" I said.
My voice shook a little. "It's Jo." Silence. I couldn't tell what was happening on the other end.
Then, very quietly, "Jesus."
"No, just Joanne, although I can see how you might make the mistake, coming back from the dead and all.
- Rachel Caine
I cannot switch my voice. My voice is not like an elevator going up and down.
- Maria Callas
First I lost my voice, then I lost my figure and then I lost Onassis.
- Maria Callas
They'll be granted immunity!" I feel myself rising from my chair, my voice full of resonant. "You will personally pledge this in front of the entire population of District Thirteen and the remainder of Twelve. Soon. Today. It will be recorded for future generations. You will hold yourself and your government responsible for their safty, or you'll find yourself another Mockingjay!
- Suzanne Collins
My voice, at first rough and breaking on the high notes, warms up into something splendid. A voice that would make the mockingjays fall silent and then tumble over themselves to join in.
- Suzanne Collins
There's always hand-to-hand combat. All you need is to come up with a knife, and you'll at least stand a chance. If I get jumped, I'm dead!" I can hear my voice rising in anger.
"But you won't! You'll be living up in some tree eating raw squirrels and picking off people with arrows.
- Suzanne Collins
However, if you listen to me I think you can hear years of abuse in my voice - both bad abuse and good abuse.
- Belinda Carlisle
In the second installment, I pretty much dominate the show. Somehow or another, though, I manage to apparently dominate the first show pretty well with just my voice and my hands and a shot of my boots kicking cartridges out of the way.
- David Carradine
I drink booze, I smoke, and I'm hooked on caffeine. I actually have been known to swear at times and belch and even raise my voice when provoked. And I'm not physically repressed!
- Helena Bonham Carter
I know that I can sing really loud. It's like having that really big Evinrude engine on the back of your fishing boat. But I've been trying to be more dynamic with my voice, and not just singing on 10 all of the time out of terror.
- Neko Case
Well, the first year I lost my voice I didn't mind so much because I was going to have a baby and I was distracted with him anyway, I didn't even think about it that much, well, OK, this is what's happening.
- Rosanne Cash
And I kind of said to myself if I get my voice back I'm not going to take back the old anxiety about it and just focus on the limitations. I'm really going to enjoy it.
- Rosanne Cash
Arrogance is in everything I do. It is in my gestures, the harshness of my voice, in the glow of my gaze, in my sinewy, tormented face.
- Coco Chanel
The voices on the record, that was trying to treat my voice like guitar players treat guitar tones.
- Gary Cherone
I know I'm not a great singer. But I love to sing and I like to use my voice in different ways.
- Melanie Chisholm
I'm just experimenting with every different type of music you can imagine and seeing where my voice lies and what sounds best. I think when I do finally do the album it will be very eclectic - just loads of different stuff on it. That's what I am hoping.
- Charlotte Church
People hear the soul, black influence in my voice. I grew up listening to CKLW and all the black stations like WLBS.
- Madonna Ciccone
When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again
And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh if my voice could reach back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear:
Oh darling I wish you were here.
- Owl City
But I think mostly it's your eyes. I want something from them no one else gets from them.'
'And what's that?' I asked, my voice low, almost hoarse. His words had affected me as deeply as any aphrodisiac.
'Soft.' His own voice had deepened with the highly sexual atmosphere. 'Soft the way only a woman's can be after she's come for me.
- Samantha Young
I've abused myself a lot over the years. But my voice is still intact - really, it's better.
- Jimmy Cliff
I have gotten more than I asked for. All that I ever wanted was to hear my voice on record and have a song among the Top 20.
- Patsy Cline
I sing louder and he looks right at me, finally getting it, because what I am saying with the rise of my voice is that I know he understands what music is about, he has seen the Lord in it, even if it's not my Lord.
- David Levithan
I have found my voice again and the art of using it..
- Colette
I do better singing female songs because my voice is so high-pitched.
- Chris Colfer
I usually hang around the room listening to a bit of last night's show. If there's one available, I go to the steam room every day for my voice. I spend half an hour there and then I eat, because I can't eat later than four o'clock. Then I go for a soundcheck. That's my day.
- Phil Collins
I like to jump some rope and swing kettle bells to get my blood pumping. It makes my voice sound better, and it clears my head.
- Harry Connick Jr
I believe my voice is pretty much the same. I've written 75 books, so I'm better at it now than I was earlier in my career.
- Caroline B Cooney
I launched Chefs for Humanity, a national nonprofit, with my voice, heart and money from my own pocket. Money gives you the ability to make a difference in the world and, when used in a positive way, is a lot of fun.
- Cat Cora
I think it's his perception of knowing how to make a record build, keeping the integrity of the song in the music and really adding a lot of musical elements to compliment my voice and to compliment the song.
- Deborah Cox
Drunken party friends can still kiss, right?"
His voice was low and rumbling and I heard my breath catch as I fought to steady my voice.
"We're not drunk."
"You didn't answer my question," he breathed.
I licked my lips again subconsciously and once again regretted it as I saw his eyes watching me intently. He probably thought I was doing it on purpose to taunt him.
"Um.
- Shelly Crane
Sonofabitch answer me!" My voice bounced off the walls, made the whole room whirls around me. My blood pounded in my ears. Adreline poured through my blood, copper winding me tighter and tighter.
"YES!" he screamed back "yes. i am a fucking virgin, don't shoot me goddammit fucking please!
- Lili St Crow
Shanks moaned, stirring. "You broke my nuts"
So that was what my elbow had hit. "Sorry." My voice cracked.
- Lili St Crow
My voice wouldn't work right. I made a tiny nod instead, because - how's this for weird? - I didn't want him to let go of me. He'd pulled back a little, with just his lower half, and I was afraid the scorch in my cheeks would set fire to the rest of me, because I had an idea why.
Wow. Oh, wow.
- Lili St Crow
Answer this question very carefully, kid. Are you a virgin?"
The silence was so long I thought I was going to have to ask him again.
"What the hell?" He sounded honestly perplexed.
"Yes or no? Are you a virgin?" I lost control halfway through. My voice spiraled up into a scream... "Sonofabitch answer me!"
"Yes!" he screamed back. "Yes, I'm a fucking virgin, don't shoot me goddammit fucking please!
- Lili St Crow
I told her yeah, but there was no skin on my voice and she heard the bones in my words like I did. And I knew.
- Cath Crowley
There was no skin on my voice and she heard the bones in my words.
- Cath Crowley
My first job now is as a mother, everything else is secondary. My kids understand that I am an actress, and they are always so surprised to hear my voice on a cartoon character, or see my face on a video box. If it ever gets to be too much though, the career and the kids, I will simply set the career aside.
- Joan Cusack
And if this House is to be scared, by whatever influences, from its duty, to receive and hear the petitions of the People, then I shall send my voice beyond the walls of this Capitol for redress.
- Caleb Cushing
When preparing for a concert, I do lots of training. I work with a choreographer to create great moves and then I have to keep my voice strong with lessons.
- Miley Cyrus
I have had fans make me the big picture collages of the photo books; I have had fans send me birthday cakes... sing to me on my voicemail. I have had fans flash me. I have had older fans give me their bras and underwear onstage.
- Puff Daddy
First of all, you have to understand that I'm like anybody else. When I hear my voice on a record I absolutely loathe my voice. I cannot stand my voice.
- Roger Daltrey
I couldn't have recorded this record 15 years ago. My voice didn't have the depth to pull these songs off.
- John Mellencamp
The day will come
When my body no longer exists
But in the lines of this poem
I will never let you be alone
The day will come
When my voice is no longer heard
But within the words of this poem
I will continue to watch over you
The day will come
When my dreams are no longer known
But in the spaces found in the letters of this poem
I will never tired of looking for you
- Sapardi Djoko Damono
The little song and dance number at the end - that's me, my voice, howling out. It was a new experience for me. I've never sung before and I've certainly never sung on screen. I think I sung on stage when I was 13 and for some reason nobody's asked me to try it again since.
- Hugh Dancy
I was always in bands before, but on 'American Idol,' it was about getting my voice out there. It was always my goal, though, to get a band together again.

I just don't know," I said, my voice sounding bumby, not like mine, "how do you help someone who doesn't want your help. What do you do when you can't do anything?
- Sarah Dessen
He says, "Your husband fucked my wife."
We look at each other and this time it's different. Now I know him.
"My husband didn't fuck your wife." My voice is soft. Not amorous, but the tone of a bewildered child. "They had a relationship, then came home and fucked us.
- Eric Jerome Dickey
I then realized that I could never be satisfied again with the mere natural charm of my voice, that I had to constantly paint when singing, melting all the colors, expressing reds and blacks that had to be less primary but bursting with subtly colored combinations.
- Placido Domingo
Between parts I was too old for and roles that were too overwhelming, out of reach then for my voice. I carved out a niche with the Wagnerian repertoire since I am attracted by its theatrical intensity.
- Placido Domingo
But I won't deprive myself of singing opera as long as my voice follows.
- Placido Domingo
I want a big dark room you can barely move in, with bodies grinding close together. I want to hear a thousand songs played incredibly loud. I want to dance so fast that my hair grows long enough to trample on. I want my voice to be thunderous above the throb of bass. I want to get so hot that I have to crunch ice in my mouth.
- Jenny Downham
I started taking singing classes just two years ago. It was great. I never knew I could sing but I kind of found my voice.
- Hilary Duff
I didn't have to wait six years to get my show on the air, worry that someone else had a similar idea, or wait around for notes that took my voice out of the show.
- Lena Dunham
I stopped smoking. When I stopped smoking, my voice changed... so drastically, I couldn't believe it myself.

Nothing can affect my voice, it's so bad.

My voice and movements are restricted by the things I own.
- Dave Eggers
Nefertiti!" I shouted. "Meritaten!" How could they both be gone? Where could they be? I rounded the corner to the window of Appearences, then opened the door.
The blood had already spread across the tiles.
"Nefertiti!" I screamed, and my voice echoed through the palace.
- Michelle Moran
LAST NITE I HAD A DREAM. NOW I KNOW FOUR THINGS. I KNOW THAT MY VOICE DOESN'T CHANGE BUT I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY. I KNOW THAT I AM GOD'S INSTRUMENT. I KNOW WHEN I'M GOING TO DIE AND NOW A DREAM HAS SHOWN ME HOW I'M GOING TO DIE. I'M GOING TO BE A HERO! I TRUST THAT GOD WILL HELP ME, BECAUSE WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO LOOKS VERY HARD.
- John Irving
We're going bowling?' I can't keep the disappointment of of my voice. Bowling is not badass.
- Leanne Hall
There are some different things I'm writing and developing, but I don't know where they'll go. They're fun stuff that I would be in and are written in my voice, for me.
- Abby Elliott
What about you? What do you do?" I needed to ask questions, draw him out. I needed to find out all the information I could. My voice sounded strong and smooth, but my hands were shaking. I put them in my lap so he couldn't see.
"I prey on innocent villagers and terrify their children," he said with a nasty smile. "And sometimes when I'm feeling really evil, I read books or paint.
- Kate Avery Ellison
I use my voice as an instrument.
- Enya
Shadow and dust shall be reclaimed, earth sealing the tomb from which you came. Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, warrior return, breathe your last. Air, earth, fire, water, hear my voice, obey my order, thrice around your grave do bound, evil sink into the ground. I now invoke the law of three, this is my will, so mote it be.
- Christine Feehan
I can sing, but my voice is untrained. I'd like to do a musical someday.
- Sherilyn Fenn
But actually just yesterday we raised the key of one of my songs two steps up, so my voice is obviously responding. It's a muscle, and the more you use it, the more you use it right, the more you should get out of it. So yes, I sing.
- Harvey Fierstein
Actually, I think the average voice is like 70 percent tone and 30 percent noise. My voice is 95 percent noise.
- Harvey Fierstein
The world is full of more interesting things than my voice.
- Harvey Fierstein
I want to keep my voice young, with nothing heavy.
- Renee Fleming
Contrary to the norm, as my technique improved my voice became higher.
- Renee Fleming
It's so hard to express yourself.'
I understand this.'
I want to express myself.'
The same is true for me.'
I'm looking for my voice.'
It's in your mouth.'
I want to do something I'm not ashamed of.'
Something you are proud of, yes?'
Not even. I just don't want to be ashamed.
- Jonathan Safran Foer
I don't like the sound of my voice.
- Megan Fox
I dropped my voice and stared into her eyes. I could tell she was trying hard not to look away. I was so furious I could have cheerfully ripped her head off. "But you're going to find out, Mom,' I said very softly."And it's gonna give you nightmares for the rest of your wasted life."
Oh, my God, I was so badass. It was all I could do to not give a MWA HA HA!
- James Patterson
Part 5
The Voice-
Make that my voice
- James Patterson
Fang," I said, my voice breaking. "Just live, okay? Live and be okay."
With no warning, I leaned down and kissed his mouth, just like that.
"Ow," he said, touching his split lip, then he and I stared at each other in shock.
- James Patterson
Maybe it's information the whitecoats never wanted anyone to figure out.' Fang said in the hollow Twilight Zone-y voice he used sometimes when things got unusually weird- as opposed to regular weird.
- James Patterson
Angel is right,"said Dr. G-H quickly. "This is my clumsy way of demonstrating."
"Demonstrating what?" I was barely able to keep a snarl out of my voice. "How to get yourself beat up in one easy step?
- James Patterson
I have been the subject of ridicule. People talk about me and they don't know me and this is an opportunity to tell my story... to have my voice and to set the record straight.
- Amber Frey
There are two kinds of people,' she'd said. 'Those who coast through life like ducks in a row, following one after the other, and those who ride the waves.'" Tears spilled down my cheeks, and my voice cracked. "'Ride the waves, baby, and live. Live.
- Gena Showalter
You are my whole heart, Scarlet. And this is breaking it.'
My heart cracked open and clear dropped out of me. My mouth opened, and I looked round me and stamped my foot. 'Does this look like a good time to tell me that, you damn stupid boy?' I meant to sound mean but my voice wobbled. 'Now?'
He gave a little smile. 'My foul-mouthed warrior.
- A C Gaughen
The hardest times for me were not when people challenged what I said, but when I felt my voice was not heard.
- Carol Gilligan
My voice, I have to say, is kind of miraculous because I was born with a cleft palate.
- Gale Gordon
Right now, my voice is better than ever. It changed. I have better low notes than I had before.
- Eydie Gorme
My voice right now, hey, listen. I don't know how long it's going to last.
- Eydie Gorme
Music is my voice, which illuminates my soul. To deny me this inspiration, is to mute my contemplations on life.
- Patricia H Graham
I consider my voice to be a centrist moderate voice among the nine Democratic candidates.
- Bob Graham
Do not feed that beggar. Hamlet, lie down." The dog ignored her.
"Down," Viktor ordered, his deep voice stern. The dog whined and then lay down. The prince looked at her. "You need to be more forceful."
"I suppose my forcefulness will improve once my voice changes. Sopranos get no respect.
- Patricia Grasso
Tell me why." My voice shook. "Tell me right now.
- Claudia Gray
The characters in the book grow up with us. My voice has broken as well.
- Rupert Grint
Returning my voice to a conversational level, I called back, "Nora, I'm not
attempting to embarrass you or single you out. I know you're capable. But stay behind Chas, okay? You die, you d i e permanently, and for various reasons that we've already gotten angsty about together, I don't want that to happen."
"Okay, okay," she sighed.
"Angsty?" Chas asked. "Ooh! Later, details!"
"Yes, later." With that, I waved the team forward.
- Lia Habel
The reason my voice is sounding more passionate is because I'm singing directly from the heart.
- Sammy Hagar
Sage shifted beneath me. I put one of my hands back into his thick hair and left it there, pretending I needed to hold him. It took all my willpower not to start playing with it.
"I guess you don't do this very often," I told him, my voice cracking slightly.
I couldn't see his face but I could feel him smile. "No. Usually my head's turned the other way around.
- Karina Halle
I learned patience, perseverance, and dedication. Now I really know myself, and I know my voice. It's a voice of pain and victory.
- Anthony Hamilton
You ought to have known I'd do it!" My voice sounded harsh and savage like a stranger's in my ears. "Didn't I steal a crutch from a cripple?
- Dashiell Hammett
Americans are xenophobic, they will believe their own people rather than the adversary, even a friendly enemy voice.
- Hanoi Hannah
We could go back," he said. In the dome light of the car, his face looked hard as stone. "We could go back to your house. I can stay with you always. We can know each other's bodies in every way, night after night. I could love you." His nostrils flared, and he looked suddenly proud. "I could work. You would not be poor. I would help you."
"Sounds like a marriage," I said, trying to lighten the atmosphere. But my voice was too shaky.
"Yes," he said.
- Charlaine Harris
How grateful are you?" he whispered, his mouth hovering over mine. His eyes were very alert now, and his gaze was boring into mine.
"That kind of ruins it, when you say something like that," I said, trying to keep my voice gentle. "You shouldn't want me to have sex with you just because I owe you."
"I don't really care why you have sex with me, as long as you do it," he said, equally gently.
- Charlaine Harris
So I got interested in singing and I have always used my voice. Not professionally as much, but around the living room, the campfire, that kind of thing.
- Gregory Harrison
I think my voice worked out fine, but it was a lot of work for me. And I was very self-conscious about it. I was a bit self-conscious about writing lyrics too.
- Jerry Harrison
I blinked at him. "What does salt have to do with any of this?"
"It protects you from evil."
"Salt?" Disbelief all but dripped from my voice. I couldn't help it. "Table salt? How is seasoning myself going to help? This isn't a dinner party.
- Alyxandra Harvey
You know how bad my voice sounds - well it feels just as bad.
- George Herman
For myself, for a long time... maybe I felt inauthentic or something, I felt like my voice wasn't worth hearing, and I think everyone's voice is worth hearing. So if you've got something to say, say it from the rooftops.
- Tom Hiddleston
The motivation part is all essential in keeping my voice, but there are the human factors of discipline.
- Jerome Hines
Fix me," I commanded him. "This thing, what I've done - there's something wrong with me, Noah. Fix it."
Noah's expression broke my heart as he brushed my hair from my face, and skimmed the line of my neck. "I can't"
"Why not?" I asked, my voice threatening to crack.
"Because," he said, "You're not broken.
- Michelle Hodkin
You know, my dear, I insured my voice for fifty thousand dollars.
- Miriam Hopkins
And in singing, what my voice lacked in quality it made up for in volume.
- Hedda Hopper
It totally ruins my voice. I quit smoking, drinking, and doing ecstasy.
- Mark Hoppus
I sing a lot, even with my voice.
- Heidi Klum
I won't bite."
"Are you sure?" My voice was rough.
"I won't bite right now," he said with a ghost of a smile.
The soft expression bemused me enough so that the gentle patting lured me to the recliner. Logan wrapped strong arms around me and pulled me into his lap.
My butt fit him like we were interlocking puzzle pieces.
- Mary Hughes
You can bullied as a young model, but there was a point where I found my voice, effectively.
- Rosie Huntingtonwhiteley
So there was something of a learning curve with doing your own thing and people seeing you outside of the band. I mean, people have never really heard my voice before - or heard a whole record of mine before. So it was a completely new experience.
- James Iha
I now can be sure that, once I start writing a book, I'll be able to finish it. I've also become more assured about my 'voice' as a writer and being able to keep the characters true to themselves.
- J A Jance
But ya know what, I am a part of something that happened. I'm a part of the music that happened. My voice is one more instrument, is what it is. So that's the way I feel about people who play on sessions.
- Waylon Jennings
Sometimes when I hear my voice on tape, I'm like, 'Who is that horrible man?'
- David Johansen
None within the sound of my voice should be in any doubt concerning what is moral and what is not, nor should any be in doubt about what is expected of us ... We have been and continue to be taught God's laws. Despite what you may see or hear elsewhere, these laws are unchanging.
- Thomas S Monson
You can't be a sexy person unless you have something sexy to offer. With me, it's my voice: the way that I sing, the way I express myself when I sing.
- Tom Jones
There's plenty for me to do. There are more albums. I'll record as long as I can and as long as my voice works as well as it does now and for as long as people want to hear me.
- Tom Jones
But you're worried I'll get in trouble?" I try not to show how much this pleases me. I've managed to ignore him for days now and here I sit. Lapping up his attention like a neglected puppy. My voice takes on an edge. "Why do you care? I've ignored you for days."
His smile fades. He looks serious, mockingly so. "Yeah. You got to stop that.
- Sophie Jordan
Only now, here with Will, I realize I'm something more. Someone not bound by the rules of her pride, her race, her family. Someone who can be loved for herself, draki or not.
"I thought about you," I whisper, my voice not my own. It belongs to someone else. Someone brave, someone about to risk everything and follow her heart. "I've never stopped thinking about you." Somehow, I doubt I ever will.
- Sophie Jordan
What drew me to politics in the first place was the fact that I wanted to have a place to take a stand and use my voice to express what I believed in. But I've no longer got any political aspirations. I feel that as a politician, fifty per cent of people would hate you before you even left the house.
- Jon Bon Jovi
I don't fear death; I fear remaining silent in the face of injustice. I am young and I want to live. But I say to those who would eliminate my voice: I am ready, wherever and whenever you might strike. You can cut down the flower, but nothing can stop the coming of the spring.
- Malalai Joya
Who wants to be the unsung hero of my voiceless choir quartet?
- Jarod Kintz
I prefer to let my voice do all the talking for me.
- Jarod Kintz
I like the way my voice sounded. But it sounds different to me than to you, because it only enters your ears from the outside, while my voice enters my head from the outside and the inside.
- Jarod Kintz
When I get angry I tend to raise my voicewith a forklift. Hang on to my handlebar mustache if you want me to peddle faster.
- Jarod Kintz
Don't breathe on my voice, I yelled through my ears. But who's there to listen, when I'm all alone and wearing earplugs.
- Jarod Kintz
If my voice sounded like a dial tone, people would probably hang up on me all the time.
- Jarod Kintz
I think, uh, I might be in love with you, I said, my voice sounding gruff and awkward even to my own ears.
- Stacey Kade
When I perform Strauss, it is as if the music fits me like a glove. My voice seems to lie in a happy area in this music, which is lyrical and passionate at the same time.
- Kiri Te Kanawa
Some may say I'm perceptive"
"And what would you say?" I ask, my voice edgy, tired of being toyed with.
"I'd say I agree.
- Alyson Noel
If you insist on the chase," I say, my voice much surer than I feel."Then you better start training. 'Cause, dude you're in for a marathon.
- Alyson Noel
Her body disappears like my voice
When I look too closely in the mirror
Without the pages of a notebook, a pen
To save me.
- Stasia Ward Kehoe
My voice had a long, nonstop career. It deserves to be put to bed with quiet and dignity, not yanked out every once in a while to see if it can still do what it used to do. It can't.
- Beverly Sills
I get a lot of recognition for my voice. That always surprises me.
- Moira Kelly
You know, I like playing around with my voice and trying all different types of kooky voices.
- Moira Kelly
I have to have some of my voice because I have my own experiences that I lived through.
- Jamie Kennedy
My voice is clotted with unshed tears.
- Sophie Kinsella
My voice is like a rumour. I'm not sure if it came out or not, or if it is true.
- Markus Zusak
That guy in a twenty-five cent bleacher seat is as much entitled to know a call as the guy in the boxes. He can see my arm signal even if he can't hear my voice.
- Bill Klem
I sit up straighter and puff out my chest a little bit, unsure why I'm doing so even as I do it. I know when I speak I'll have dropped my voice an octave to make myself seem more manly, and when I shake he hand, my grip will be tight and strong. Stupid, I know, but I'm a guy. It's what we do.
- Tj Klune
I moved closer as I dragged myself through the frozen bracken. "Who's coming?" My voice trembled like an autumn leaf in the wind.
"Your Angels," he replied breathily right before he crumpled to the ground in a great heap.
My body went into sensory overload. I was hurt, angry, broken, sad, terrified, and... hopeful. He said my Angels were coming.
- Laura Kreitzer
I don't sing anything that hurts my voice.
- K D Lang
I sort of believe that my voice was preordained; I'm a Buddhist who believes in reincarnation so I think that my voice is a few lifetimes old.
- K D Lang
My voice and the styles and genres I sing all express my appreciation for what I hear.
- K D Lang
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
I worked on my voice for Sweet Dreams, but only to match my speaking voice to Patsy's actual singing voice. That was my way into that character.
- Jessica Lange
I hope they see the genuine side of me, of my music, of my voice. I hope that they feel me. I hope that what I sing and what I say really gets across to the viewer because everything that comes out is true.
- Stefano Langone
I lost my voice for the first time. I was so bummed out, but it happens to every singer at some point in their career. I don't think most people understand, but I sing every night and sometimes we do five shows in a row, which is really bad for your voice.
- Avril Lavigne
Arthur!' I cried, but my voice was lost in the battle roar. The seething waters of the enemy host closed over the place where he had been.
- Stephen R Lawhead
They really can't imagine what my voice is like. Every time I sing a song, they are very surprised.
- Coco Lee
She glides to a stop in front of me, all grace and luscious skin. Her bare chest and shoulders glow in the low light. I want to touch her, caress her, so much so that I ball my fingers into tight fists to keep them to myself.
"You look beautiful." My voice sounds strained, even to my own ears.
- M Leighton
I was supposed to be meeting someone, but they had to cancel. After I'd already gotten here, of course," I explain, bitterness dripping from my voice.
"Want me to kick his ass?" he asks. I look up at him and he's grinning at me over the top of his glass.
"No. You might be embarrassed when she gets the better of you.
- M Leighton
