Bonnie Tyler Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Bonnie Tyler:

My mother was the only one who encouraged and inspired me for singing. She was singing all the time in the house, playing records also.

I've never taken drugs. My drug, I suppose, is drink. I never drink before I sing, but I do make up for it when I come off!

Bonnie Tyler

My mother, who died aged 82, had Alzheimer's. Losing your memory is bad enough, but everything shuts down. You can't remember how to eat or go to the toilet. It's a terrible disease and so distressing to watch it take over someone you love.

Bonnie Tyler

I've been successful, but I haven't had any unwanted attention. To be honest, I've never invited or courted attention. I think if you act normal, then people will treat you normally. If you go around with a big entourage all the time, you're not staying true to yourself.

Bonnie Tyler

I haven't had a big hit record in America since 1987.

Bonnie Tyler

We all have a great time. And then I go to bed, get up and do it all over again. I like my life.

Bonnie Tyler

I love Tina Turner. I'm one of Tina Turner's biggest fans. Tina Turner was a big influence on me to become a singer. A role model and in a way she gave me back my confidence in choosing my material.

Bonnie Tyler

I have never gone out of fashion. And do you know why? Because I never sought it. When you don't seek it, it's always with you.

Bonnie Tyler

It's really fantastic because families can come to my shows and they all like it. It's really weird.

Bonnie Tyler

So many people release albums before Christmas and they get lost in the Christmas rush.

Bonnie Tyler

Every time I release an album my old record company releases another one.

Bonnie Tyler

When I do a T.V. show, I hear all these artists in their dressing rooms doing scales - I've never done it because I've never had voice training. What I do to prepare is get in my car and sing along to the radio for about 20 minutes.

Bonnie Tyler

You think the Welsh are friendly, but the Irish are fabulous.

Bonnie Tyler

When I was young, I used to wear a lot of wigs, and I was running on stage at a gig and tripped over and it fell off. It was in the 1970s, and Swansea were doing really well in the league, and most of the team were there. I almost died, but I picked it up, put it back on my head and carried on.

Bonnie Tyler

We stay in U2's hotel. They bought a hotel, The Clarence, a nice place and it's in an area where everything's happening, so many fantastic restaurants and bars and the people are so friendly.

Bonnie Tyler

It's no good singing if you just want to be a pop star; you've got to work at it and do it for the love for it, not because you think it will make you famous.

Bonnie Tyler

I collect traditional Aubusson tapestries that you can hang on a wall. The last lot I bought were from an antiques fair in London.

Bonnie Tyler

I advise wannabe singers to form a band, practise in your garage if you have to, but do as many charity or open mic shows as possible to get experience. I sang for seven years before getting a record deal, and I was already loving what I was doing. I just got lucky and got discovered.

Bonnie Tyler

I suppose I don't have to work, but I do love working. I class myself as a working-class girl, and I've never stopped working. When I'm offered shows here, there and the other, I do an awful lot because I feel other people would love to be offered what I'm offered; who am I to say no? I'm definitely working class, and I always will be.

Bonnie Tyler

When I tour with the new album, I still do the classics, and I love the atmosphere it creates with the whole audience singing along.

Bonnie Tyler

I am itching like hell to play America because I know that if I did the show over there, they would love it.

Bonnie Tyler

I've been around for such a long time. My first hit record was over 20 years ago and the people who bought my records then are married now and they probably still play these records and their children like them.

Bonnie Tyler

The international travelling gets harder as I get older, but when I'm performing on stage, it makes it all worth while.

Bonnie Tyler

I've been able to help my family financially since making my first hit record. I bought my parents a house. My husband and I have a property in Portugal and one in Mumbles, Wales, and my family are always coming out to visit us. It has been fantastic to have such a successful career and to have been able to help everyone.

Bonnie Tyler

I've been singing since I was 16 because I love it - I wanted to be a singer, not a star. There's a difference between wanting to be famous and wanting to sing well.

Bonnie Tyler

Every country I've had different hit records, so we have to change the set to fit the country.

Bonnie Tyler

I really enjoy doing the live stuff.

Bonnie Tyler

When you're in the music business, every day is the same. If you work 9 to 5, you can't wait for the weekend, but in the music business, you don't know one day from the next. It's always the weekend.

Bonnie Tyler

Fabulous place, Dublin is. The trouble is, you work hard and in Dublin you play hard as well.

Bonnie Tyler

In 1983 I'd had a number one. I'd sold 6 million copies of Total Eclipse Of The Heart all over the world.

Bonnie Tyler

I would love to do a Bond song, and I could have done a Bond song: I was offered a Bond theme, but I turned it down because I didn't like the song. But as it turned out, I was right anyway because the song was the only Bond theme that never became a hit, so I'm glad I wasn't associated with that!

Bonnie Tyler

I still love to do the old songs. I know some people don't.

Bonnie Tyler

I do believe that God blessed me in life with a wonderful family, a successful career, and a loving marriage, and remain thankful for that blessing.

Bonnie Tyler

I never forget the first time I was on 'Top of the Pops', my bass player said: 'You've made it!' I did used to think, when I was younger, that I'd be on there one day.

Bonnie Tyler

I went to all the shops in the village looking for work. I didn't have any qualifications. I ended up working in a grocery shop for about a year and then went to a confectioner, where I earned three pounds 10 shillings. I gave the money to my mother and father, but I also managed to save five shillings a week.

Bonnie Tyler

Thank God for Botox.

Bonnie Tyler

Whenever I sing 'Total Eclipse of the Heart,' the way people sing along with me still excites me. It's one of the songs that audiences know all the lyrics to, and they sing along with me, and it makes me so happy. People also know my songs 'Holding out for a Hero' and 'Lost in France,' and this gives me so much joy on stage.
