I have great memories from those days, just singing all night long and rodeoing during the day and I like the rodeo group. (Piven Jeremy)
I really like Alan Jackson, in Country Music. I think he's really very, very talented along with George Jones, and Merle Haggard, the same old favorites. (Piven Jeremy)
It's so funny because I listen to songs that I recorded that I didn't really know anything about at the time. Later on I'm starting to feel the songs. Sing them first, feel them later. (Piven Jeremy)
I love to sing, so I just figured that I was going to sing or something. (Piven Jeremy)

“Squint your eyes and look closer. I'm not between you and your ambitions. I am a poster girl with no poster. I am thirty-two flavors and then some. And I'm beyond your peripheral vision, so you might want to turn your head. 'Cuz some day you are gonna get hungry, and eat all of the words you just said.” (Piven Jeremy)
“God help you if you are an ugly girl, 'course too pretty is also your doom, 'cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room.” (Piven Jeremy)
“My songs are just little letters to me.” (Piven Jeremy)
“I hated performing. I love to sing but I don't love to sing in front of people. I don't have much of a feel for performing. When I think of performing, I think of being so nervous you want to throw up. That's what performing means to me. Singing in the recording studio when there's no one else around, that's a whole different thing.” (Piven Jeremy)
“We'd knock on the doors, we knew the different companies we liked because we were listening to Alan Freed and we knew the different labels and they were all located there. We'd go up and we'd often sing live for the people. Which was very nervous-making, you know? They're busy, so if they don't like you, they cut you off right away.” (Piven Jeremy)
“There's one part of me that is very grateful for these singers who continue to introduce these brilliant songs to a younger generation that might not know them. And, of course, there's another part of me that is appalled by the dreadful versions of them. . . . I have been in the music business for too long and I've heard the best, and I know what the best is, and when I hear people attempting to do it and they don't know what they're doing, it just ruins my day.” (Piven Jeremy)
I'm not a good enough singer to pull off the effect. (Piven Jeremy)
It became a ritual that at each of our anniversaries I sang a song and sent her red and white carnations. (Piven Jeremy)
“I said I need a little more Fred Astaire and a little less Ricky Martin.” (Piven Jeremy)
“I love the whole DJ vibe thing.” (Piven Jeremy)
Happy songs are very difficult to write. How many truly great upbeat songs are there? (Piven Jeremy)
I realised I had to really think about the singing thing again, which was very scary, and I started song writing. (Piven Jeremy)
I think if you're writing with a broken heart you'll write a certain type of song, but I don't think that it's better. (Piven Jeremy)
Steve Martin is such an exquisite and precise writer. Everything is so clear; it's like a bell. He says what he means and says it so beautifully. (Piven Jeremy)
I love singing. It's a very natural thing for me to do. (Piven Jeremy)
I think, because I sing a song differently every night, it keeps me interested. (Piven Jeremy)
Sometimes I'll have nights where I really don't feel like doing a song. It could be one of the hits or it could just be a song that I've been doing a lot lately. (Piven Jeremy)
I'd do terribly. I can't sing. (Piven Jeremy)
“I write a lot of lyrics and I'm involved in the producing process, because it's like, if I'm singing it, I want it to be something that I can relate to” (Piven Jeremy)
Frankly, I mean, sometimes the interpretations I've seen on some of the songs that I've written are a lot more interesting than the input that I put in. (Piven Jeremy)
Strangely, some songs you really don't want to write. (Piven Jeremy)
