Bing Crosby Quote

  • [in 1954] I don`t sing anywhere as good as I used to, and I feel sincerely that it`s getting worse. I don`t see any purpose in trying to stretch something out that was once acceptable and that now is merely adequate, if that. I don`t know what the reason for this condition is, unless it`s apathy. I just don`t have the interest in singing. I am not keen about it any more. Songs all sound alike to me, and some of them so shoddy and trivial. I don`t mean I didn`t sing some cheap songs in the old days, but I had such a tremendous interest in singing and was so wrapped up in the work that it didn`t matter. I don`t know how to diagnose the condition, but it seems to me that possibly this apathy, this lack of desire, when I have to go to a recording session, transmits itself into nervous exhaustion and fatigue. Bing Crosby
