Jane Horrocks Quotations

I think that if you idealise someone for so long, they can only disappoint and I wouldn't want to be disappointed by those people.

I find singing as somebody else very liberating, it just frees me up.

I cant read a note of music. I just do it all from ear.

I don't think that I want to meet any of the icons. I don't think that anybody can quite live up to your expectations.

When I think of Marilyn Monroe, and achieving her sound, I think of having a rather large bust. I think of her physically and I am just able to create her sound, because her physicality was so much to do with her sound.

I found that I could make people laugh doing people like Shirley Bassey. Fortunately it worked.

Mimicking people was something I did already.

My own singing voice is not very good and I don't think that anybody really sings in their own voice.

I just find it thrilling, especially when I totally lock in to the person that I am doing and I'm really flying... I suppose I am hiding myself when I sing as these other people.

I don't really like using my own voice.
