Our greatest freedom is the freedom to choose our attitude.

La souffrance n'est pas une occasion de haïr, mais une occasion d'aimer.

No se sorprenda, señora mía, es así. Las personas son incapaces de entender la felicidad.

Johnny Guitar... just one of my favorite singers of all time. I met him when we were both on the road with Johnny Otis in the &#39;50s when I was a teenager. We traveled the country in a car together. I would hear him sing every night.

When I&#39;m performing for the people, I am me, then. I am that little girl who, when she was five years old, used to sing at church. Or I&#39;m that 15-year-old young lady who wanted to be grown and wanted to sing and couldn&#39;t wait to be smokin&#39; a cigarette, you know?

You can&#39;t fake this music. You might be a great singer or a great musician but, in the need, that&#39;s got nothing to do with it. It&#39;s how you connect to the songs and to the history behind them.

I figured I could do &#39;It&#39;s A Man&#39;s Man&#39;s Man&#39;s World&#39;, because I believe it&#39;s the truth.

See, I don&#39;t like places where people can&#39;t dance - don&#39;t like clubs or theatres where a bunch of bourgeois people sit around tip, tip, tipping their fingers.

Long as I was riding in a big Cadillac and dressed nice and had plenty of food, that&#39;s all I cared about.
