“Things were never as exciting for me as the first gig in New York.” — Hozier Quote

“Things were never as exciting for me as the first gig in New York.”

“If I could, I'd sing old French songs or American folk music, but I sure as hell can't do it as well as Mississippi John Hurt - no way in hell am I getting near that!”

“I love the sound of voices singing together, congregational singing, anything like gospel, or folk, or sea shanties.”

“The worst thing about the life of a jazz musician on the road is getting to the gig. Once you're there and playing, it's marvelous.”

“It's a two-dimensional gig being a singer, and you can get lost in your own tedium and repetition.”

“Some gigs will go great. I figure you do a gig, and as many as can get there will get there.”
