I really do love bluesy-jazzy music, so I love Etta James, B.B. King and Billie Holiday. I love that they have soul in their voices - I think that’s something important is having Picture Quote #1

Probably to me the greatest singer, female voice, is Billie Holiday. And one of the most moving for me, I don’t know why - maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe because my life is one of constant partying, whatever Picture Quote #1

My big influences are Joni Mitchell, and a lot of classical and Indian music, as well as Nina Simone and the personal blues and jazz of Billie Holiday. Other influences for me include Bjork, Nick Drake, and Sufjan Stevens Picture Quote #1

I also tried to focus on songs that Billie Holiday wrote, songs that she had a hand in shaping, like Strange Fruit; songs that were written for her or songs that she wrote herself, like Fine and Mellow or God Bless The Child Picture Quote #1

I actually started the whole project some years ago with a live debut at Ancienne Belgique in Brussels. The focus was mainly on my favorite period of Billie Holiday, which was the late-50s Verve recordings, with essentially a small version of the Count Basie band Picture Quote #1

I love Ray Charles. He can still teach everybody a lot about how to make great music. Not necessarily how to make hits, but how to make great music. Of course, part of it is his incredible talent. Who are the greatest jazz singers in the world? Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday and Ray Charles Picture Quote #1

I’m in a hallowed league of artists. Whether it’s Billie Holiday or Rakim or Jimmy Hendrix or... I don’t know, MGMT, we’re all blessed to be able to create. It’s a lineage that extends a long time. And to be able to be active in it and have made a difference in it, it’s humbling. To know I had a place in all of this; that’s the rewarding part Picture Quote #1

But to make a holiday record that involves favorite American songs and then also get to sing about Jesus birth, it just seemed like a real easy, subtle way to combine a couple of things that I love Picture Quote #1

My parents, Mary Agnes Smith and Rowland Smith, both had to work since their early teens, she in the holiday boarding house of her mother and he in his father’s market garden in Marton Moss, a village on the south side of Blackpool, just north of Saint Anne’s-on-Sea Picture Quote #1

I’ve never stayed in a tent or a caravan in my life, and I never joined the Boy Scouts. I don’t see the point of going on holiday to enjoy less comfort than I have at home Picture Quote #1

For me, acting is like a holiday. When you’re directing, you have a strong sense of responsibility for others. It’s exciting but exhausting, especially when you’re like me: always wanting to break the rules Picture Quote #1

Our family’s special holiday tradition is going over to my grandparent’s house on Christmas morning. My grandma cooks a big breakfast, and I love hearing her tell old funny stories Picture Quote #1

I’m not one for sightseeing or going around the shops when I’m on holiday. I do enough shopping when I’m at home, and like to have a complete break when I’m away Picture Quote #1

Not so great in England at the moment; in an online poll we came last, we actually came bottom of European countries for quality of life, because of things like the weather, obviously, late retirement, poor holiday, poor public services, poor health service; it’s basically just a kind of grey, godless wilderness, full of cold pies and broken dreams Picture Quote #1

Smart, truly hilarious, and entirely sympathetic. Like a hot bubble bath or a holiday at the beach, you won’t want it to end Picture Quote #1

The teams that worked on the innovative distribution of ‘The Interview’ are just a few of the many that put in long hours over our studio holiday to ensure business continuity, rebuild our systems, and protect our company Picture Quote #1

Labour day is a great American holiday that people celebrate by going out and buying products made in China Picture Quote #1

It’s a very rich brew that’s in your psyche by the time you’re in your 60s, and I think that’s rather interesting. It makes you feel you’ve lived a very long life; it’s like going on holiday to three different cities rather than spending two weeks in Lisbon. You look back on the holiday, and you seem to have been away forever Picture Quote #1

I live in Cape Town but my favourite holiday destination is Hermanus, a little seaside town about a 90-minute drive away, over the pass and down to the sea, on the sunshine coast. It’s where I love to escape to with my wife for a weekend every now and again Picture Quote #1

In most instances, at all costs, do NOT check a bag. Especially during the holiday season. You have more flexibility to switch flights, switch airlines or even leave the airport and get a rental car to drive to your next destination. If the airline has your bag, they also have you Picture Quote #1

A holiday is when you celebrate something that’s all finished up, that happened a long time ago and now there’s nothing left to celebrate but the dead Picture Quote #1

Dia de Los Muertos is a holiday that pays tribute to the dead and also celebrates life. So I thought, what better of an idea to bring it in with PETA and let people know how we can respect the living and the dead. Going vegetarian could be an incredible option for people if they would just educate themselves Picture Quote #1

From the big mountains in the north to the valleys in the south, all through my childhood and teenage years, my family would always holiday in Wales Picture Quote #1

As a company dedicated to creating fun and affordable toys for children, everyone at Ty is proud to play a small part in helping children in need have a happy holiday. We are proud to be associated with Toys for Tots and congratulate our Marines for a job well done Picture Quote #1
