No, I'm a horrible singer, I'm awful. (Piven Jeremy)
“Writing songs is super intimate. It's a bit like getting naked.” (Piven Jeremy)
“I was ... writing that song (with) tears streaming down my face. To me it's…a snapshot of (a) time period of my life, and ... that's the song that kind of took us around the world.” (Piven Jeremy)
“[While there were rumors the No Doubt singer might not attend, she arrived early and smiling.] It's been a huge year, ... A year ago I remember driving up with [No Doubt] playing them the songs for the first time.” (Piven Jeremy)
“That was the first time we'd worked outside the group with songwriters, and it was really awkward. That's what defines us as a band, writing, so it was a brave and crazy experiment, It was uncomfortable in the studio, but Hella Good has become one of our staple songs,” (Piven Jeremy)
“It was the last song written on the album, and we had already finished the album. We just decided it wasn't good enough.” (Piven Jeremy)
“Suddenly the song had this attitude, ... It was like, kind of, 'Oh! Where did the attitude come from?'” (Piven Jeremy)
I sang in one band called Fellow Johnson when I was 15. They needed a singer so I did a couple clubs with them. I was more into musical theatre, dance troupes and stuff. So I really put aside the music for awhile but people who wanted to do a record with me kept coming to me and I kept saying no. (Piven Jeremy)
“I was always singing and dancing for my mother when I wasn't glued to the television watching I Love Lucy or the Carol Burnett Show.” (Piven Jeremy)
I am a huge ABBA fan. (Piven Jeremy)
You're not really supposed to like ABBA in Sweden. It's nerdy. (Piven Jeremy)
I just recently was graced by the talents of Phil Madeira from Nashville. We co-wrote a song together - which was a first for me. (Piven Jeremy)
I think I'm a soulful singer. (Piven Jeremy)
I'm very comfortable as a singer. In fact, I think it's more - I identified my self-esteem, my self more in those ways when I was growing up. I really - it was kind of my calling card as a kid. (Piven Jeremy)
It was really fun. It was fun for a lot of reasons. It was fun because nobody thought that we would be successful. It was on a network that wasn't even there at the time. (Piven Jeremy)
Now I'm both. I'm an actor and a singer. (Piven Jeremy)
So you know, my plan was that I was going to make records, and be a rock star. And that's really what I wanted to do. And I sang from the time I was very young. (Piven Jeremy)
Well, I started as a singer. (Piven Jeremy)
Yes, I'm a singer. (Piven Jeremy)
Ricky Martin, I ran into him in a restaurant in Paris. He sent a note over, very politely, and said, Could I come over and sing a song on this album? (Piven Jeremy)
And as long as people want to hear me sing, I don't know why I'd retire. (Piven Jeremy)
