Zitat des Tages von Brenda Lee:
Whatever happened to the tomboy I used to be, the slightly rebellious rocker?
I only wish Chet Atkins could be here for this joyous occasion.
The music business can be very cold. And it doesn't honor its elders.
I still sing because I love the sound of applause, because it's who I am, and because I still can.
The amazing thing is that I'm sane. I'm not bitter. I'm not drugged out. I'm not broke. I'm still married to the same guy. My children don't hate me.
I always loved reading. I always was the spelling bee champion. I always loved words. I always wanted to know what they meant, why you used them, who first said them. I was always interested in that.
The Beatles were raw musically, but I think they really had something.
I still don't look at myself as a star. I've always had a thankful heart.
I've spent an awful lot of my time in the air. I've had everything happen to me in a plane that could happen. Except a crash.
I wasn't aware of it at the time, but I was a big favorite with the Mafia.
A lot of people thought I'd died, because of your coverage, they know I'm still around.
I didn't really have an agenda for my talent. I just wanted to be able to sing.
I was nuts about Elvis, like every girl in America.
I gave up my childhood for a career.
I'm not used to introspection. I've never lingered on my feelings. The show must go on.
I believe I became one of the first singers to be launched via television exposure. I guess I was a new kind of musical stylist for a new kind of media.
'I'm Sorry' was one of the first songs to come out of Nashville using strings.
I've always gone to see all kinds of shows and stole what I could, as we all do. We see an artist and hear a song and think, 'I bet I could sing that song. I'll put that in my show.'
God has never disappointed me.
