Zitat des Tages von Tina Turner:
Delhi came as a shock. There were so many people, and oh, the traffic.
In Buddhism there are words you can say... as you say the words with rhythm the conscious tells the subconscious.
I believe that if you'll just stand up and go, life will open up for you.
Movies are movies: they take you back in time, and how it still is for some.
I don't like to dwell on the past.
I was always attracted to science fiction movies.
I regret not having had more time with my kids when they were growing up.
I know the difference between black magic and white magic.
Sometimes we need help from a god.
Physical strength in a woman - that's what I am.
Greatest hits is easy because one has nothing to do - except that we both, Roger and I, felt that new songs should be there because I've been away for awhile.
I want to know what the difference between the essence of a man and woman is.
My career always took me away from home, I was always away from home and I just wanted to be at home.
My greatest beauty secret is being happy with myself. I don't use special creams or treatments - I'll use a little bit of everything. It's a mistake to think you are what you put on yourself. I believe that a lot of how you look is to do with how you feel about yourself and your life. Happiness is the greatest beauty secret.
I've never bothered about my color. I never had that thing about being black. If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love. Maybe. I don't have a problem with being black in a white country or being with my people.
I don't hate myself anymore. I used to hate my work, hated that sexy image, hated those pictures of me onstage, hated that big raunchy person. Onstage, I'm acting the whole time I'm there. As soon as I get out of those songs, I'm Tina again.
I am attracted to myths.
I don't want to act just to be on the screen doing anything and looking any kind of way.
I never had that thing about being black. If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love.
It just feels like Erwin and me... even at night I don't feel I have to look pretty in bed.
I'm perfectly fine now if I never went on stage again.
People think my life has been tough, but I think has been a wonderful journey. The older you get, the more you realise it's not what happens, but how you deal with it.
This is what I want in heaven... words to become notes and conversations to be symphonies.
Well, these days, if you're away five years, you might not be able to get back.
You wouldn't believe that I still have the bikers with the caps to the side at my door, ringing the doorbell.
I heard stories from my mother's mother who was an American Indian. She was spiritual, although she did not go to church, but she had the hum. She used to tell me stories of the rivers.
I'm pleased with my life, with the journey.
You take your problems to a god, but what you really need is for the god to take you to the inside of you.
In the USA there is no female equivalent to god.
In Tennessee where I grew up, there were animals, farms, wagons, mules.
My parents separated when I was younger.
I need that on stage. I need a burst of life. That's entertainment for me.
I am a practicing Buddhist. I have been for 25 years.
For me the goddess is the female of God, She is powerful if different.
But I believe we have a higher level of mentality within us, but we have to use the power in the right way.
I didn't have anybody, really, no foundation in life, so I had to make my own way. Always, from the start. I had to go out in the world and become strong, to discover my mission in life.
