Natalie Cole Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Natalie Cole:

When you reach 50, what you care about is being honest, being accurate, and being an example.

I like Kelly Rowland, I think that she's great. It's hard to come out of the group of Destiny's Child and still kick some butt.

Natalie Cole

As miserable as I was, once I started singing, I felt better.

Natalie Cole

I love what I do so much. I just keep going. Not much can bring me down.

Natalie Cole

It's the subtleties of a ballad that truly make it beautiful - and it's all in the way you present it to the listener.

Natalie Cole

I don't think that my parents even imagined that I would be exposed to drugs. In those days, for some reason, it was not talked about, just like sex was not talked about.

Natalie Cole

I've had my share of doing things that I really wish I hadn't done.

Natalie Cole

I was going to college to be a doctor.

Natalie Cole

There's inevitably something missing when you grow up in this kind of an environment when your parents travel a lot. When your father is famous, you are looked at and expected of. There are standards you need to meet.

Natalie Cole

I felt that if I'm serious about acting, I would like people to see me as an actress. It's less of a stretch if I'm singing, unless I'm playing a character who sings.

Natalie Cole

The dialysis is to wash my blood, to keep my kidneys functioning.

Natalie Cole

I like to grow and experiment, and as an artist, it's about kicking the bar up a little.

Natalie Cole

My idols are Janis Joplin and Annie Lennox, who are neither of them from the typical pop culture.

Natalie Cole

I started saying, 'I don't want to be crazy anymore.' I need to make some changes. And the first thing I started doing was just got all the men out of my life, because that was a big problem for me. That was a crutch, if you will. You know, trying to define yourself through other people or men, in particular.

Natalie Cole

I'm just really, really thankful. I'm thankful to the doctors; I'm thankful to the family that donated the kidney.

Natalie Cole

A lot of people want to donate a kidney, but they're not in a position to because they have health issues of their own, and a lot of people need them. That's why the list is long and it takes a long time.

Natalie Cole

I think that talented people really do have insecurities, and that is one of the things that kind of motivates them, because that's one thing they know they're good at. And when they're up on that stage, you can do no wrong. The audience is yours; they're there to see you.

Natalie Cole

I can laugh at myself because I've had to. Everything would have been much worse if I'd been the singing son of Nat 'King' Cole.

Natalie Cole

When you reach 50, what you care about is being honest, being accurate, and being an example.

Natalie Cole

I like Babyface, but he keeps the good stuff for himself. If he's willing to give his good stuff to me, we'll talk. But it can't be any of his B-grade stuff.

Natalie Cole

My father was a pioneer in so many ways. He was fearless, and I think that I kind of picked that up from him as well.

Natalie Cole

By the time I approached my forties, I had the self-assurance to approach all the genres I love so deeply: R & B, rock, jazz, and pop.

Natalie Cole

As kids, we had no clue about the racial stuff that seemed to preoccupy adults. We just enjoyed our life as kids.

Natalie Cole

I have been to hell and back. I have seen the edge. I have seen the dark side of life.

Natalie Cole

We used to have to arrange things around the dialysis. I would have to plan where to play so I could be back in time, and couldn't go too far.

Natalie Cole

I think foreign countries really do like it when American artists sing in their language. And when you go over there and say, 'Hi, how are you?' in their language, they love it. It makes them feel like you're doing it just for them. We in America take so much for granted.

Natalie Cole

I never got to make that transition from little girl to young woman... and that really screws you up.

Natalie Cole

I'll never totally get away from being who I am, which first, to many, is the daughter of Nat King Cole, which became even more intensified with the 'Unforgettable' album.

Natalie Cole

Life is such a gift, I just say thank you all day.

Natalie Cole

There were so many groups that I had in college, but I was always the solo singer. But what made it so unusual back in the day was that I was a black girl playing with all these white musicians, and I was also singing rock music on top of it.

Natalie Cole

I've always been an extremist. Some of us have very addictive personalities, and for some of us, that mechanism gets tripped up. Mine certainly did. I'm not cured. You never are. The recovery is a day-to-day process.

Natalie Cole

I know that God has had my back, even when I was screwing up.

Natalie Cole

I was pretty young, but because of that first record, 'Cole Espanol,' we took our first trip - well, my first trip - to Mexico.

Natalie Cole

If you don't shop smart, you get a little trendy.

Natalie Cole

I've always been interested in the office. I was a secretary a long time ago, and I've always been into paperwork. My first secretarial job was 1965 or 1966.

Natalie Cole

Losing people is dark, but some things you just have to accept.

Natalie Cole

You shouldn't have regrets. I'd say instead that I've learned a lot of lessons. Yes, I could have handled some things better. But they've also made me who I am today.
