More Quotes From Oliver

I don't think any responsible performer would go on stage high. If he convinced himself he is better that way, he is deluding himself.
Oliver
I think some entertainers have been very irresponsible in their part in making drug use a fad among young people. They say, look at so-and-so, he's a pot head and look what it has done for him. The truth is, he was talented to start with. I mean, if you have vacuity and expand it, you still have vacuity.
Oliver
I gladly sacrifice pear-shaped tones in favor of down-to-earth emotion.
Oliver
I like performing because it's direct contact with live people. I write a good deal of the time but that's introspective creation rather than interaction.
Oliver
I think of myself first as a singer, meaning an interpreter. Then I think of myself as a writer. It is an outlet I have to have. I get very hard to live with without something happening to write about.
Oliver
I wouldn't say I'm happy, but I look at things in a soft way. I try to convey more personal interaction, rather than huge injustices.
Oliver
When I write I like to give equal justice to lyrics, too. I want the song to have meaning for me so I can make it have meaning for the audience.
Oliver
I try to make the music give people a chance to become engrossed with what they hear enough to possibly experience things they've probably experienced on their own but don't normally let themselves go so as to feel them fully.
Oliver
