Zitat des Tages von Cass Elliot:
When you're famous, you don't get to meet people because they want you to like them when the present themselves to you, and you don't see the real people.
If you truly dig what you are doing, if you lay it out that way, nobody can not respond. That's what rock and roll is; it's relentless.
Honesty is all you need.
If you really think you're right, you should tell it.
How do I tell people who I am? Not being a writer, the only way is to sing songs that reflect my opinions.
You have a new audience for every show. Even though you do the same thing all the time, you gotta keep it fresh for yourself, and you gotta keep it good and interesting and something you want to do. I'm anxious to have a really terrific act. Whatever it takes it takes.
My role in the Mamas and Papas was basically just to sing.
I was just a bumpkin. Just a country bumpkin. I had just come to New York from Virginia. Or was it Baltimore?
There's so much talk about the drug generation and songs about drugs. That's stupid. They aren't songs about drugs; they're about life.
I've always been so apathetic. I figured, OK, maybe the world is going to fall down around me. Now I want to make a better world... that's motherhood.
